Things are fine in the southeast where NOLA is, Fabio, thanks. Lots of rain but nothing uncommon for this time of year. The southwest really got it, the area around Lake Charles. It's weakened to a category 2 thankfully and is making its way to Shreveport where it's expected to be cat 1.

Handy Haversack:

I saw Krull in the theater -- a birthday party for a friend. That was a VERY excited group of kids.

I also wrote up the powers of a kind of krull for the game I play. Made of severed witch fingers. Lodges in the wound and digs and digs until the victim dies and then "flops obscenely" back to its owner.

NOLA report:

Marco was a super bust. I had to do several hours of yardwork and garden stuff, bring in chairs, etc., on Sunday, as prep. Then Monday and Tuesday it was sunny and dry all day. My garbage piled up because they had cancelled Monday pickup in my area. Marco just kind of dissipated at the last minute. It happens. That's why so many people don't evac for the real "big one" -- so many false alarms over the years. We (Mary and I) were ready to go one of several NO hotels she knows from experience have generators, kitchenette, and wifi. But didn't need to. Both of us need electricity and internet to work online during the day. During Katrina almost exactly 15 years ago she and family went back for a month or more to her family home in Lafayette 125 miles west of here.

Laura was bigger. Was just there in Lake Charles where it hit (50 miles east of the Texas border) three weeks ago, about 200 miles east of here. Had lunch with someone Mary knows from the Governors Program (gifted kids program that she and he attended in the early 70s). We were driving toward Galveston (about 350 miles west of NO) along I-10, three weekends ago, which they closed a lot of during the storm. (We spent two weeks in Galveston, learned a lot about its similarities with NO, and all the hurricanes there, esp. 1900.) But Marco didn't do as much damage as forecast. Mary's childhood friend and wife had decamped to their place in Baton Rouge yesterday, just in case. It's barely showered here in NO this morning.

Two near misses.

RevTD: I've always found "Excalibur" really frustrating. Mainly the script: such a stellar ensemble cast of heavy-hitters from the stage, but it seemed like they were told to yell every line. Really love Nicol Williamson and Helen Mirren though, they owned those roles.

That's right, "Willow" too.

Heresy, perhaps, but: Tolkien is just too long-winded. Those Peter Jackson LotR movies (first 3 only) are far superior because they ruthlessly slash all of the chaff in the books. A rare, rare case of movie(s) superior to the book(s), like The Godfather.

RRNov63, "Dune" etc is not exactly good literature, but it is like a fever dream. I read so many sequels to find "it" but of course "it" can't be explained. So, maybe skim novels 1 and 2. (The Lynch is not bad! Go into it with a. . .kindness.)

Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. LeGuinn the only thing I found worthy to share the Epic Fantasy genre with Tolkien - as she had enuff background & originality. Tolkien was a Physiologist & expert on ancient North Europe - & everyone else can just go home. Roger Zelazny's 'Chronicles of Amber' was kewl - but he's really one of the Post-LSD Sci-Fi people.

wfmu listener phillip, like most teases, I was teasing myself. I used to tell people that I watched "Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" in the theater and that it was 7 hours long. When the internet came, I had to admit that it was 201 minutes. . .

@ Miss G: Peter Greenaway is incredible, "A Zed and Two Noughts" is a favorite of mine (when it was released, i had at least one friend tell me how much the Zebra *lover* reminded them of me, which felt totally creepy AND complimentary) . . . have you even seen any of his short films? they are totally worth seeking out, taped some off the TV back in the 80s -- "28 Bathrooms," "Making A Splash" . . . i was working nights, PBS would screen these in the middle of the night in between their regular shows

Krull Sagan:

@slugluv, @mariano, thanks for the Greenaway mentions; Cook Thief Wife Lover was my first, Pillow Book was ok, Prospero's Books was so dope for all its book art and calligraphy; @WoodsofNH, I know what you mean, and just re-read The Tempest which is worth doing and a cool read, magick and quasi-demons and stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:39pm
mariano:

WoodsOfNH: It's "The Tempest" except with Prospero voicing everyone's lines for the first two thirds or so. But I love it more for its visual qualities than as a Shakespeare adaptation. Unbelievable how he pulled that off on what must have been a pretty small art-film's budget.

Gnomon: just to have imagined that whole scenario with the VUE and birds, wow. I also like how it's modular, whenever I watch it I tend to go back to the same chapters.

@mariano Ah, that would explain it. I know next to nothing about Shakespeare (never resonated with me in any way)

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:44pm
mariano:

Krull: "Cook, Thief" was the first one I saw as well. "Prospero's" second, I think.

Woods: "Tempest" is a great story, probably the one I'd recommend for anyone not into Shakespeare. It's set on a magic island ruled by a great wizard, full of magic, spirits, monsters. It's the template one way or another for all stories about mysterious islands. It's also the source of the name Miranda and a few common phrases like "brave new world."

Feel Cinema is capable of so much - @ least Greenaway dammit does something with it. Prospero's Books maybe an example of what I'm always saying about even Great Directors not having the sense of when to get a Writer - but does it matter in that case ... Theif Cook & the Other Thing hit me wrong time when I was expecting something pleasant - but damned if I don't remember it!

Woods: the best way I think is to watch the plays performed by a really good cast, they bring the words to life in a way that reading can't quite. I remember watching the Ian McKellen "Richard III" from '95 with a German friend of mine, and he said after that it was cool how they modernized the language so he could understand, and I was like No! That's how good the cast was!
