I’m a nice young man that has a big heart and always likes to help. I will always love you and respect you. I am a virgin, and I know it will be painfull and humiliating but I don’t mind at all. I will give you my innocents, everything. Would be nice if we can go camping, somewhere we can be completely alone. You can spend the whole time raping me to the point I’m that I’m screaming and crying. You can do anything from forcing your fist in my boypussy with no lube while I’m tied up, facefucking me till I loose breath and vomit and still keep going while I pass out, choking me with a chain, whipping me etc. Either way no one will hear anything. Or if your into sleep play, we can arrange something so you can have your fun while I’m knocked out cold and not allowed to set the maximum number of rapes or time limits. Destroy me in whatever way you want so I have no choice but to stay with you forever. I’ve always wanted a relationship with someone like this and all that goes with it, but just never got the chance.

I am now a dick craving meth whore and my ass has collapsed into chaos.

AirborneOperations – Aug 13, 2022
I’ve been doing it pretty regular with this white trash boy. You know the type, made bad choices in life, quit HS, knocked up a GF, lives with his parents, has a nice cock, blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty face and hotter than hot ass. He listens to a lot of rap and hip hop, smokes a lot of weed. That’s still hot now at 19 but he’ll just be an overweight hag in ten years, make that five. He never talks about his life or what he wants and part of me would love him to be more of my life than just my cum dump, but I know we’re both hostages to where we are in life. He’s such trash and, hey, so am I, that I’m always tempted to go too far with him but I always reign it in and I give him what we both agree he wants. I want more with him but know he could never give me that and that’s where I am right now. He always says he wished we could do more but leaves it hanging in the air. What more can I say? We can’t do more. He’s trash and the shine will be off soon. My heart sinks as I think that, but I’m right. We got nowhere to go.

so…what’s led me here? I am David….22 soon….I dated my high school sweetheart from 14 til lastChristmas. When we broke up I was devastated and friends took me round the bars…. one of the bars was a gay daddy biker joint and this older guy started getting my life story and I was drunk enough to tell him! He asked me if she left we cause she knew I was gay…I said of course I wasnt gay and what made him think that….he said he could just tell…a drinks later that daddy was showing me at his apartment that he was right and I needed fucked and used …. so now I live in Portland and I am hoping to find someone who can make me leave that baggage behind ……hope that didn’t bore you

This slut had a twisted mind, he desired to be raped & humiliated – wasn’t problem for me, even when I started to beat him, he was screamed with joy and asking to not stop. When I cum, he asked me to put a plastic bag on his head and tape it shut & I did, his cock was hard, he really like it, I jerked off myself watching how he dying in motel bath. I guess he died in joy, well done, cunt.

BoyStrangler – Sept 8, 2022
the most important thing is that you strangle it hard enough to make it lose conciousness.and dig in cause because it tries to fight you and you can feel the faggot fading.I told it that I was actually going to snuff it as it started to lose conciousness just to see the panic.i said stuff like “don’t worry about how you got aids cause I’m gonna kill you right now.” lol (it’s been emailing me ever since)

Local-Bastard – Sept 2, 2022
He likes being kidnapped and having his clothes ripped off him and hogtied and shoved in the trunk of a car and brought to a “secret” location and having his hands tied high above his head so that he is forced to stand on his tippy toes while being whipped and tortured.

Entering into a Master/slave relationship can be a daunting thing and so many new slaves are nervous to take that first step.

Let me help.

I have been a slave for many years. i have had the same feelings and gone through the same experiences. Let me break you in gradually take you to the place where you feel 100% slave.

I can accommodate because my master lets me use his dungeon for my training sessions and I am patient and understanding.

I live in Arkansas. Only talk to me if you are willing to help me with these problems:
-Find the solution for permanent, lifelong hair removal, not just for a few years
-To lighten my skin tone

Until you show interest in this, I won’t tell you about myself, I won’t send you another picture. These problems have been bothering me for a long time, I want to finally get rid of them. I’m sorry if this seems too serious and rude, I’m not like that in real life. When these problems were not present in my life, I was not like this. If you’ve made it this far, please help me find a solution to my problems. Thanks!

* Yes I’ve had several profiles before but they get banned because I am real.

* No more posers that convince me that I’ve found the one who’ll help me then just fuck me and don’t.

* If it comes to that I’ve always been a slut since before I could even get it up.

* My address is 5271 Royalwood Rd Apt E103

I am your slutty Belgian FTM transboy cumdump, I’m here for breeding and roughly getting fucked in my cunt.

I am into nonconsent, rapeplay, orgy, breeding, impregnation, choking, slapping, being driven crazy while I drive you crazy.

If your cock isn’t enough I have a large collection of animal & monster themed XXXL fantasy dildos.

I got no dick, I got a needy cunt! Boobs were small B cup but are long gone.

My asshole is to be looked at and nothing else. If you even touch it with your fingertip I’ll bite your nose off.

inescapeableties (Owner) – Sept 7, 2022
the only time i almost got discovered was when i was 15 i wrote a mostly true story about a teenaged baby sitter who was in love with the father of the children i babysat for

in the story the father encouraged me to steal money from my family so we could go somewhere far and live our lives

i steal the money and we ride to another province where the father brings me to an abandoned meat processing plant so we can have fun because they have no money for motel where we do some drugs which makes me 1000x more sexually sensitive

the last few paragraphs describes our fantastic intercourse and my heightened pleasure then after my orgasm the father beheads me with a cleaver in one chop so fast that i was still blinking and smiling in surprise as my head rolled away

he then puts my remains into a meat grinder and throws my head down a well with my surprised smile now frozen by rigor mortis

well my mother found the story on my phone but because she’s a teacher she just chided me for some grammar errors

inescapeableties (Owner) – Sept 6, 2022
i take measures in faking that my preference appears to be for mundane big boob and blonde girls

just a couple of intentional pornhub tab left open here and there and some pictures that my family/girlfreind will definitely notice when they borrow my phone and think I’m a normal horny straight boy

ForNecroHeadfuckers, 19
Hey everyone, how is everyone?

A few weeks ago I watched a movie called Beheaded (2012) in which the killer would take the victims and behead them. Then he would have sex with that head. It was one hell of a movie, but there were problems.

– For one, there are no teenage-heads! No hot headless teenagers. There is a scene with a teenager in the background, you can see his dick. But he doesn’t get beheaded all.
– It’s filled with disgusting and grotesque men heads (Headless men over the 19 are fucking gross)
– Character: The main killer of the movie doesn’t say much, but he moans when he cums.

I’m a damn sexy teenager, and I was wondering how many of you would help me by the writing of another movie, this one with ONLY me as the teenage victim, only my teenage head, only me naked, and one or more killers. It must be better than Beheaded, and it must be all me, men killers and me, with no dead men and very little clothing as possible. If you want to take a more personal point of view, I am an art student! If you’ve always dreamed of a serial killer beheading a young artist, this is your chance aha!

For example, there was a scene in the movie “The Secret Life of Jeffrey Dahmer,” when Jeff gave the nearly naked teenager booze and money and during a photo shoot he slapped the cuffs on his victim. He then laid out a tarp, took his electric saw, and gently beheaded his victim. After the head was off, he held it close to his face and whispered something like “It’s okay I won’t take. I love you… I Love You.” as he put the head down in the freezer.

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought that scene was good and romantic. I would love a man to whisper to my teenage head, and I know he would love me because with the sexual excitement comes emotions.

But I figured one or more of you could write a movie based on fantasy and we can put it together and pitch it to a maker of movies with me as the star. Don’t worry I’m a good actor.

What are your thoughts? If you can understand keeping my beautiful teenage head, then this could be for you.

Come on people.

I would consider myself bi-curious or mostly straight but I have long since had fantasies of cutting off a teenage boy’s head. I love your head and the sooner I can cut it off the better!

I am loosing my virginity tonight to a man who was my teacher in high school . This evening I am a total virgin no intercourses with woman . He has been trying to talk me into it for a while . I have finally agreed to do it . I at first told him we had to use a condom . Over a few weeks he wore me down and I agreed to do it bare . He was telling me how much better it would be more lubercation . I know at the end of the day he just wants to bread the virgin . He has been fingering me for the last half hour and he has commented on how tight I am . My thoughts and breathing are telling me it’s time to finally loose my virginity . I am an extremely emotional person . I know I am probably just a piece of ass to him . I have been thinking about this for a while .

Unfortunately I like what I can’t or shouldn’t have. I desire what is wrong.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
-A Master put parental controls on my phone.
-A Master had daily hypno files I had to listen to.
-I was forced to wet my bed and was punished when i didn’t soak my sheets.
-I was doing my Master’s homework for them.
-I kept a slave diary and wrote everything that happened in it daily.
-I built an enslavement shrine in my closet that I “prayed” to.
-A Master humiliated, degraded, mindbroke, and severely gaslighted me throughout the day.
-I was given daily maintenance spanks.
-I repeated mantras without stopping daily.
-I had a live video feed placed in my room and broadcast widely.
-I prayed daily to a Master.
Thank you for your interest in this meat.

Earlier today I fucked this boy so good that I literally fucked myself speechless.
He had me babbling superlatives.
Then I lost words.
I was just babbling incoherently. I was also almost hyperventilating and trying hard not to swallow my tongue.
I fucked him for two and a half hours— nonstop. I came three times and never pulled out.
By the third shot I may have been speaking in tongues at that point, I don’t know.
Yeah. It was ridiculous.

You can be old, young, hot, ugly, really anything so as long as you find my defenseless girly ass and murder me.

I am a slightly built and androgynous looking boy with pale freckled skin, longer curly hair hair and green eyes. You’ll find me wearing a pretty white dress with golden accents and under that, a frilly pair of panties with a matching bra.

I’m really more in the mood for just a death, not too much smut or at least not super detailed smut if anything. Maybe just light rape before you off me however you please and use my silly little sissy corpse for a while until you get bored of me.

We don’t even really need to talk about anything, just hop into my messages with a short description of how you’ll find me and murder me specifically. Hopefully this can happen today!

Hi. My name’s David. If you want to die by being bound, restrained, thrown in a sling and cut in half with a chainsaw, I’m pretty darn good at all those things. If adding a few ropes to otherwise conventional sex acts then getting strangled constitutes “snuff” for you- then we aren’t a match.

I did some drastic things to my body during lockdowns and the consequences are still unfolding. I don’t know what to think about it all. I want to keep going, but feel like I’ve been left alien to the gays, so I may as well try my luck with the pervs on here.

-I have male genitalia, but they aren’t remotely sexually functional, and it’s extremely useless to try.
-If I can leave them completely hidden I’d appreciate that.
-I have more or less “phantom hardons”, means for me it feels like it’s getting hard, even if in reality I don’t.
-I can have an orgasm from anal sex if someone manages to make me forget that my penis is there, but that’s just the brain part of it, nothing happens between my legs.

Only guys older and uglier than me. I can’t see myself with a guy who’s as hot as me. It makes me laugh. Good.

THE SITUATION: I am only 23 but I am married with kids and seeking to be consensually abducted and kept forever as a sex slave. I do not wish to be found as I want to hurt my family as much as humanly possible.

CAGED/BOXED: When not in use I wish to be kept in a cage and or box restrained inside kept in the ass up position with holes for my ass and mouth so I’m always ready to be used.

ELECTRIC CHAIR: I wish to be strapped in an electric chair with head leads and anal probe and be lit up for your pleasure. I do not wish to die but do understand it will hurt and there will be permanent damage. When my body doesn’t do good enough you up the voltage until I can no longer interfere.

BAGGED/BREATH PLAY: I wish to be bagged then with master and guests choking me with your hands around my neck and watching me empurple and drool as I struggle to stay alive.

THE OBVIOUS: Face and ass slapping, punching, throat and ass fucking with no mercy, hit, stomped, thrown around, ass and face destroyed with zero mercy, relentless verbal abuse, etc…

The above list is just a preliminary list.

LIMITS: No broken legs. Everything else is open to discussion.

Kidnap me and ensure I am kept far away permanently and never found and most importantly that my wife and children suffer.

Many who meet me think that I’m pretty
They don’t know the reason I moved to this city
They think that I’m normal
But deep down I’m not
Since I was a boy I’ve thought very very dark thoughts
I’m not really evil
But I’m also not pure
For people like me
There’s never a cure
Once you’re inside me you’ll learn who I am
I’ve had many many before you
I’ll have many many after you

I desperately need to get a scary boyfriend. I hooked up once with a mean boy before this from my school. He blindfolded me with his underwear, kicked me into exactly the position he wanted and then stomped me into the floor. Muffled sounds of my pain filled the air with each slug of his cock in my ass. He used whatever he could find in his room to leave bruises all over my body. It was the best! But now it has reached such a point where i can’t find anyone else in the school who is remotely into me, and single (and when i say single… i mean not bashfucking one of the other queer boys at our school. I don’t know what to do.

Love being 56 of the 116 men who fucked ChoosenOne, G. ** Bill, Hi, B. Duane Fenster’s photos look really good. I feel like I know her name from somewhere. Thanks for leading me to her thing. I found online viewing versions of ‘Muscle’ and Sato’s other gay film ‘Temptation of the Mask’ on this arty porn site called Noodle Magazine, and the links will be in the post tomorrow. I haven’t watched them yet but, based on my peeks, the quality looked doable. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, Thomas! I am hereby an open door through which your thanks to Roget are passing. I’m happy my Halloween contributions are darkening your days in the good way. Right, have big fun at the ILP event, which sounds kind of insane. I hope/assume Martin or Karolina will video and share the goings on. And the AS event in NYC! Seriously cool. I wish Philip would do such a thing here in Paris. Maybe I’ll heavily nudge him. Love from here and everywhere around here to you and wherever you may be for the foreseeable future. Signed, DC (to quote Arthur Lee). ** Paul Curran, Hi, Paul, or, dare I say, Pauly. Jim Morrison’s ghost, ha ha. Sexy, not! My siblings still call me Denny. Great, awesome, about the post. My email is: [email protected]. Yay, super excited to get it! ** Robert, Hi, R. I too find that a lot of those photos surprisingly hit some kind of sweet spot where the laughably unrealistic and the uncanny nonetheless live together in harmony. Interesting, no? Ah, so he is a bit, uh … florid? Then reading him in little bites sounds like the way to go maybe. Like keeping a bag on Haribo candies in your pocket and popping one in the old mouth once in a while, but, you know, better. Anyway, I think I need to at least pick up a book of his in a store and scan some paragraphs at minimum. ** Right. You know the final month’s day’s drill very well by now, so enjoying hanging with the slaves, and I’ll see you tomorrow.

‘Spirit photography developed within the context of spiritualism, a 19th-century religious movement. Spiritualists believed in the soul’s persistence after death and of the potential for continued bonds and communication between the dead and the living.

‘In 1848, when two young women of Hydesville, N.Y., claimed the ability to hear and interpret the knocking of a deceased peddler in their home, spiritualist ideas were already in the air.

‘Some 19th-century spiritualist artists saw their work as being inspired by an unseen presence. For example, British artist and medium Georgianna Houghton produced abstract watercolours she dubbed her “spirit drawings.” Similarly, about 20 years after photography as a medium emerged, spirit photographers began attributing their work to an external force, a presence that temporarily overcame or possessed them. The spiritual “extra” that appeared alongside the bereaved in spirit photographs — sometimes clearly a face, at other times a shape or object — was meant to be understood as not having been made by humans.

‘Paired with the longing of the bereaved, spirit photographs had the potential to become intensely personal, enchanted memory objects.

‘Unlike postmortem photography — the 19th-century practice of photographing the deceased, typically as though sleeping — spirit photographs did not lock the loved one in a moment after separation has occurred through death. Instead, they suggested a moment beyond death and therefore the potential for future moments shared.

‘Spirit photography encouraged and then mediated the resurgence of the deceased’s animated likeness. At a time when many available technologies — such as the telegraph, telephone and typewriter — were being applied towards communication with the dead, spirit photography offered a visual record of communication.

‘But in spirit photographs, the beloved seldom appeared at full opacity. Using the technique of semi-translucence, spirit photographers depict spirits as animated and “still with us.” That they are only half there is also indicated. In this way, spirit photographs illustrate the lingering presence of the absent loved one, just as it is felt by the bereaved.

‘Spirit photographs were not the first photographs to depict ghostly apparitions. But they do mark the first instance wherein these semi-translucent “extras” were marketed as evidence of continued connection to the deceased.

‘As a service rendered within the bereavement industry, spirit photographs were meant to be understood as the grief of separation, captured by the camera — and not constructed through some form of trickery.

‘Belief in the appearance of miraculous impressions of forms and faces may appear novel in the emerging medium and technology of photography. But a longer tradition of finding meaning and solace in the apparition of faces can be seen in Christian traditions of venerating relics such as The Veil of Veronica which, according to Catholic popular belief and legend, bears the likeness of Christ’s face imprinted on it before his crucifixion.

‘Even in the 19th century, recognition of the beloved in spirit photographs was occasionally equated with pareidolia — the powerful human tendency to perceive patterns, objects or faces, such as in relics or random objects.

‘In 1863, physician and poet O.W. Holmes noted in Atlantic Monthly that for the bereaved who commissioned spirit photography, what the resulting photograph showed was inconsequential:

“It is enough for the poor mother, whose eyes are blinded with tears, that she sees a print of drapery like an infant’s dress, and a rounded something, like a foggy dumpling, which will stand for a face: she accepts the spirit-portrait as a revelation from the world of shadows.”

‘If the photographer’s methods were exposed, the bereaved still maintained their spirit photograph was authentic. The ambiguity of the figures that appeared seldom deterred the bereaved from seeing what they hoped for. Indeed, it was this very leap of faith that incited the imaginative input required to transform these otherwise unbelievable photographs into potent and intensely personal objects.

‘In 1962, a woman who had commissioned a photograph of her late husband shared with the spirit photographer: “It is recognized by all that have seen it, who knew him when upon Earth, as a perfect likeness, and I am myself satisfied, that his spirit was present, although invisible to mortals.”’ — Françoise Marmouyet

Spirit Photography: History and Creation

 

Spotlight on William Hope

 

‘William Hope created his first spirit photograph in 1905, a portrait of a friend which when developed appeared to contain an additional presence bearing a striking resemblance to the sitter’s sister who had recently died. Using his newfound talents in the paranormal Hope set up and lead the spiritualist group the Crewe Circle in his home town in Cheshire.

‘The group gained notoriety with the addition of member Archdeacon Thomas Colley, an eccentric who verified Hope’s “powers”, championed Hope’s work to the public and gifted him his first stand camera. Another prominent figure in Hope’s success was Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; also an avid spiritualist and strong believer in spirit photography, Doyle was a member of the Society for the Study of Supernormal Pictures. As a fervent supporter of Hope, Doyle would go on to spend his life defending Hope’s work and reputation.

‘But Hope’s pictures were of course complete fabrications. He would procure an existing photograph of the deceased and expose the apparition onto a photographic plate prior to the sitting with his client. By using this method and creating a double or triple exposure image he would was able to produce the translucent effects consistent with expectations of how a spirit might manifest in our world.

‘Despite the obvious signs that the images were fake he kept a strong following of dedicated fans and believers, who insisted that Hope’s photographs really did show the ghost of a deceased friend or family member.

‘It was Hope’s timing which undoubtedly led to his success. The images were produced in the early 20th century and embraced by a grieving population decimated by the devastation of the First World War, perhaps hoping for proof that even after death their loved ones still had a presence in our world and that there was life, of sorts, on the other side.

‘Hope met a fierce critic in Harry Price, a leading paranormal investigator and one of history’s most famous ghost hunters, who was well known for outing fraudsters and hoaxers. Price suspected the spiritualist’s photographs were a hoax and set an elaborate trap in the hopes of firmly disproving the legitimacy of his photography, and outing him as a scammer and a charlatan. By marking the plates he provided to Hope during a photography session, Price was able to conclude that Hope had switched them with his own, already-exposed, plates.

‘Despite his photographs being proved to be fakes his reputation remained strong among spiritualists, who refused to accept the unwelcome truth behind the man whose work they so admired. Following the report of Price’s exposé Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his own report The Case for Spirit Photography in which he commended Hope’s character, offered evidence for the photographs’ validity and presented numerous testimonies by some of Hope’s many satisfied customers.

‘In one testimony a former client of Hope, Mr. W. Whitefield, stated: “My good wife and myself have not the slightest doubt that it is a photograph of one of our daughters. I do pray that this knowledge may bring joy and comfort to some sorrowing heart.”

‘Whether his intentions were to offer solace to mourning families, or profiteer from their grief, Hope continued to practice his photography for the rest of his life; his photographs were not conclusively accepted as fakes until more than a decade after his death.’ — Kate McNab

 

The Case for Spirit Photography, by Arthur Conan Doyle

 

Preface

The publicity given to the recent attacks on Psychic Photography has been out of all proportion to their scientific value as evidence. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle returned to Great Britain, after his successful tour in America, the controversy was in full swing. With characteristic promptitude he immediately decided to meet these negative attacks by a positive counter-attack, and this volume is the outcome of that decision.

We have used the term “Spirit Photography” on the title-page as being the popular name by which these phenomena are known. This does not imply that either Sir Arthur or I imagine that everything supernormal must be of spirit origin. There is, undoubtedly, abroad borderland where these photographic effects may be produced from forces contained within ourselves. This merges into those higher phenomena of which many cases are here described. Those desiring fuller information on this subject are referred to “Photographing the Invisible,” by James Coates.

It was only when editing the matt… … … … … … … … … … … … mass, of reliable material we had to, work upon. In restricting this book to the necessary limits it has only been possible to make use of a small portion of this evidence. Many more cases have been placed on record and maybe published on some future occasion. Most of the letters accompanying these descriptions display a deep and genuine affection for the maligned mediums of the Crewe Circle. Our hearty thanks are due to all those friends who have so readily co-operated in this work and who are so willing to brave the discomforts of publicity for what they know to be the truth.

p.s. Hey. A French reader of this blog wanted to contribute to the Halloween rollout via this generous and paranormal-infused guest-post about the irresistible, if you ask me, arena of spirit photography, and please enjoy your status as its beneficiaries. And please spare a word of some relative sort of your choosing for our kind and canny guest host, Roget. And thank you ever so much, Roget, from me, your lucky construction worker. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Cool, so glad you loved it! I feel confident somehow that Anita will find something even more exciting. Yes, I think love’s lust is definitely always on the verge of taking him over. Thank you! I actually have a weird thing for picnics. Well, not for picnics themselves but for picnic baskets. I even did whole post here once about picnic baskets. I don’t know what that’s about. Maybe Zac’s and my next film should be about a mysterious picnic basket. Love is a human shaped cloud of fog that is standing just to your right at this very moment without you even knowing it, G. ** David Ehrenstein, That’s one way put it! ** Tea, It would be cool if they were sentient. Or terrifying, I guess, but cool too. Thank you so much about ‘I Wished’. That really means a lot. It was a super emotional book to write, which I guess is pretty obvious. I look forward to tearing up about something of yours one of these days. Yes, no need for explanation on the dedication/ paean/ tribute front. And you can use the goal of making what you write worthy enough of said subject as impetus to get your writing right. Or I do, at least. Oh, man, being Celiac seems like it would be tough, although I’m sure you have it sorted. I eaten seitan all the time, and I’d be lost. Bowl of strawberries coming right up somehow even if it requires fake paranormal forces. Shake Thursday’s timbers. ** Steve Erickson, Oh, gotcha on the WalMart thing. I feel like I should have known that. 160 minutes, eek. Well, I’ll see it in any case, but I’ll bring a nicotine patch with me for sure. I know a fair amount of people in real life who are asexual and fairly vocal about that. For some reason, they all live either in Paris or Los Angeles. Helluva an upcoming album title, dude. ** Jamie, Hey, hey, Jamie. Yeah, the popup store is dreamy. They have antique, extremely rare ones, even ones by very unexpected sources like Bataille and Breton and so on, as well as new ones by the unusual people who continue to create them despite the niche-ness of the genre. A visual art friend of mine decided to make one as a piece some years ago, and she said it was extremely difficult, and the resulting piece was about 50% less complex than she had hoped. The earliest we’ll shoot the film is just after Xmas Day, but it’s starting to look more likely that we’ll shoot it early next year, by/before March. We’ll know after we get to LA and start organising things. Awesomeness that you finished your novella draft! That’s huge! What’s  next? Yesterday we finally, after many, many months, seem to have set up the bank account for our film which means the funds can finally, now or any minute now, be transferred into it by the donors, which is a giant step. Happy Marnie Weber did something untoward to your thinking. A lovelier even day to you, sir! Fake ghosts galore love, me. ** Bill, Hi, Bill! Cool that the post sat well. I have yet to be all that impressed by a Yann Gonzalez film, but I’ll give his new thing my best shot. ** Paul Curran, Hi, Paul! Does anyone call you Pauly or Paulie? Thanks about the Adachi post. I have a post about Hisayasu Satô coming up this weekend, if that’s of interest. Yes, Zac told me the travel restrictions re: Japan were just lifted the other day! Our plan now is that as soon as we’ve finished editing our new film, we’ll be coming to Japan to celebrate. Yes, I’m beyond 100% into hosting a post for your book! Abso-fucking-lutely! Great! One thing to know is that Zac and I will be heading to LA around mid-October to do some pre-production work on our film. I don’t know the exact departure date just yet, but while I’m there, for three weeks or so, the blog will be on vacation. So I’ll need to launch the post just before or around mid-month, if that’s doable. Based on past experience, if the post has to go up just a little before the actual pub date, I don’t think that will be a problem for the book/launch. So if you can get me the post before mid-month, that would be optimal. Is that possible? I really, really want to host it, so I’m hoping so. Thanks, buddy! Exciting! ** Robert, Hi, Robert. Oops. I’m glad you’re still in one piece psychologically. Wow, I haven’t read Lawrence Durrell or even really thought much about him since I was in college. So I don’t really know what I think. I think I remember liking his work but thinking it was a little empurpled? But I could feel completely differently now. What an interesting writer to be reading. Let me know what you think, I’m very curious. Thanks! ** Okay. Enjoy your unrealistic yet charismatic day around here, and please say hi to Roget. See you tomorrow.
