Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

He has, like, a side table book of them.

Huh, that just reminded me - I was curious if that was a real book. I know there are books of Weegee's photographs out there, for instance.

The book is called Scene of the Crime. It's a collection of crime scene photos found in the LAPD archives.

It's a really cool book.

Excellent. Not that I need a copy. I can see just about anything as long as it's fictional, but the real stuff squicks me out something fierce.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have the huge WeeGee book, a collection which came out during the retrospective a few years ago. Lots of crimes in it, but lots of other stuff as well--Yiddish Theater actors, bar denizons from the Lower east Side, circus performers, Firemen--it's amazingly wonderful.

Kubrick managed to get him as the still photographer for DR. STRANGELOVE. Which reminds me that there's a pricey but well-reviewed Taschen book of stills from the Kubrick archives. I may need to splurge.

My very favorite movie!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Rating was a 2.85 for last night. But I can't remember last weeks.


Kristen - Jul 14, 2005 11:35:44 am PDT #1443 of 10001

2.6/4.

And it seems like everyone wants to know about Web's book. It's so much fun!

The evil is this way?

And what does the rating mean?

It means nothing. I just feel vindicated that the show is building an audience and the advertising has wound down to just about nil. And yet, still building, and holding.

Sometimes it's worth it, I think, to nurture a risk you love, instead of stomping on it and moving onto even riskier gambles.

The Inside, I am confident, would grow into something solid, a conservative bet, maybe, like a 6 or something close to it. Dependable and good and eventually, Emmy nominated for writing, and for Peter Coyote.

I believe this. I don't think I'm craxy.
