The Hollywood Bowl stage has been dedicated to composer John Williams. It's the first time in the Bowl’s 103-year history that the stage has been dedicated to an artist. https://wp.me/pc8uak-1lGxDa

“The Hollywood Bowl has become synonymous with John Williams’ music. His scores have captivated generations of filmgoers, and his concerts at the Bowl have defined what it means to experience film music live. This dedication honors not only his artistic brilliance but also the way he has helped shape the Bowl into the most recognizable stage for symphonic film music.”

Good Morning to all.

Day off today, and I figure rather than waste it I’ll do some fun stuff, granted a trip isn’t fun but it’ll keep the mind ticking over and hopefully I can still shed a few more lbs.

Then I’ll just tinker with my movie room, a lot of titles still need to be filed away, the geek that I am loves doing stuff like this.

So whatever your plans, enjoy your Sunday.

I know! It’s been awhile. Rewatched (for the first time in decades) Takeshi Kitano’s one and only American production, Brother (2000).

Excellent, dream-like take on gang violence being transported from one continent to another. With its breezy jazz score intermixed with graphic scenes of ultraviolence, the viewer is taken on quite the tonal journey. There weren’t necessarily any heroes… in fact, the film borders on nihilism with its “it is what it is” approach to gang warfare. Despite the intense stakes, the film also, at times, qualifies as a hang out picture and is often presented with the pomp and circumstance of a highly produced stage show. It is an enigma yet also so so simple. Adore it.

Will contributed to a movie fanzine put together by friend of the show Billy Russell! It’s an essay regarding Will’s favorite film Blade Runner 2049 (with lots of Blade Runner “1” references too). Attached here are screenshots of the essay but a PDF can be sent if you’d like to read the piece as well as many others! Included is Billy’s introduction so you know what the zine entails. Enjoy!
