Tomasso V Pinecone's greatest novel - Can it be filmed?

 Conversation overheard while in line at Coffee Shop this morning:

"Have you read his novel 'The Crying Game of 1949'?"

"Wasn't-- isn't-- that-- a movie?  With, what's his name? Stephen Rhea?  The same actor who was in 'bloom'?"

"Right. He in 'bloom'.   But you're thinking of the movie 'The Crying Game'.  A film has yet to be made of 'The Crying Game of 1949'."

"Was it written by Thomas Pynchon?"

"No.  The author is Tomasso V. Pinecone!"

"Is this a Python sketch?"

Some things i really enjoy about the film.  I tend to fast forward a little through the scenes set in 21st century.  My favourite character from the 1920's is Salvador Dali.  Love the way Adrien Brody plays him.  I laugh out loud every time.   The music and cinematography are certainly pleasing to look at.  It's all a bit of an idealisation, isn't it? I had a Covid test turn positive this morning.  Forced isolation.  Mayb...

Lines written at HSB 2022, Sunday October 2

Other than the studied, reflexive stance, These festive fans are serious in place (Relative to the standard atmosphere): Standing out in a crowd (of course) in pants, Out of the ordinary, with straight face, In with the in-crowd (those not drinking beer), Crude picnic grounds, olives for Wendell Holmes, Beaten out of the Beatnik bars, too old For the Lost Generation—broken eggs. As the soft Burroughs Machine now becomes A Singer-songwriter Factory, bold And formless musical trees (with no legs).   Free concert in the Park today—golden.   Step up to the Gate: it feels like Holden.
