p.s. Hey. ** Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Oh, yes, I saw the Queen waving from the balcony. The French media is bemused by the ritual, as they often are by the particularity of British formula occasions. ‘Pistol’ looks awful from the clip I saw. I think I’ll look squarely in another direction. Sorry about the disqualification. May joy find you today. ** Billy, Hi. ** CAUTIVOS, Yes, he’s pretty obscure. I often try to showcase relatively obscure experimental filmmakers because experimental film, famous and not, are my greater love. But Kanai up there in the obscurity contest, at least out West. I’m not entirely sure what his influences are. Hm. Thank you for the thoughtful comment, man. ** David Ehrenstein, I am trying to avoid social media as best I can until the obsession with that case blows over. ** Tosh Berman, Hi. Mm, I don’t think he’s associated with Terayama, but I’m not entirely sure. If Lun*na has any knowledge or thoughts, please pass them along. Zac and I are headset on Japan, but surely not until we’ve finished our film, meaning early next year. Dying to be there. ** Paulette, Hi, Paulette! It’s really great to meet you. I’m happy you came inside. Hm, because I’m over here in Paris and kind of deprived re: print zines for the most part, Mostly read and know zines that online or partly online. I can highly recommend SCAB, if you don’t know, edited by a regular here, Dominick. Another new one that seems like it might work, if you don’t know it, is BOSIE. CHROMA sometimes publishes wilder stuff or writes about it. There are sites that aren’t specifically queer that publish daring queer work sometimes like EXPAT and SELFFUCK. Those are ones that spring to mind my mind morning, but there are more, and let me think more about it. Thanks a lot! Obviously, please hang out here anytime, it would be a pleasure. ** Bill, Have fun tonight. I’ll ry to imaginatively fly myself onto a wall of the venue. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Yes, I think love has a pretty focused and accurate feel for who our mutual str system consists of. The sewer tour was fun, interesting. You just walk around in a past of the ancient sewer that’s set up for visitors, sort of like the Catacombs, but not as charismatic. It smells, but more like a not very well cleaned public bathroom, so it’s not vomitty or anything. I remember Kimba. I think it was really charming. I hope love drank enough coffee or snorted enough coke to get his memory sharp for you. I also went to The Real McCoy, the Paris-based American junk food store, yesterday and bought some fun ‘edible’ crap, including a big box of Blueberry Pop Tarts without even thinking that I don’t have a toaster to be able to give them birth, shit, so love buying me a toaster, G. ** Steve Erickson, Hi. It’s rather odd how unknown he is given the cultish interest in wild Japanese underground films. No, I only the famous first four Hinton novels. I wonder. Maybe they’re shelved here somewhere so I can taste the prose. ** Okay. Today’s post is one of those highly self-explanatory things that I thought seemed kind of pretty, and I hope you agree, See you tomorrow.

    Hello Dennis, nice proposal now that we are almost in summer, you want something like that. Sunny day from Spain let’s hope it continues like this. I just hope the heat doesn’t become unbearable. The statues are magnificent, some of them haven’t been downloaded yet, it must be a small bug in the blog or simply that my computer is not able to download them due to its own weight. I hope you’re well. As usual, right? I see you well with encouragement, after having a coffee I wrote this to you and I try to do it now every day, before summer interferes with my plans, away from Wi-Fi coverage, on a placid and quiet beach.

    Dennis, I like clear things. And even cold clear things.

    Thanks for that about Rumble Fish. I’ll put it on my list for my next book-buying spree.

    I’m almost finished with the one thing I want to knock out, though I’ll have to then finish the whole thing after this, but at least it’s getting done. The next part is going to take months, but, God willing, I have time. So yeah, right after this will be focusing on getting with Callum and getting this MD novel ready to go.

    The weekend is nigh. I’lll be chilling mostly. Next weekend, I have a wedding to go to. This Tuesday, I’ve taken off work to get my mom to and from her appointment to get that procedure done to remove the basal cell carcinoma on her cheek. Otherwise, things are pretty good (I hope I didn’t just jinx myself; I’m looking at you, David!). I hope your weekend, hot or not, is great.

    “Paris-bsed American Junk Food” sounds like a Bertolucci nightmare: Pierre Clementi asking “Do You want fries with that?”

    Hi!!

    Thank you so much for recommending SCAB above! And for the “flowers” GIF. I could watch it for hours.

    The sewer tour sounds lovely. I think I’ll put in on my to-visit places for whenever I finally get around to going to Paris. Even if the leopard from Kimba doesn’t live there, haha.

    Oh, no! I hope love teleported a toaster right to your kitchen. Or… you know, helped you make a quick and successful tour in search of one. What junk treasures did you find at the store besides the Pop Tarts? Love gently placing the moose playing a bugle in the middle of your bathroom and praying to fuck it doesn’t melt before you get home, Od.

    Cold and clear things look good to me. Were I more technically minded, I’d design novelty ice cubes with a 3-D printer.

    This Platinum Jubilee weekend is really not so bad. The sun is shining, the 2nd episode of Pistol was actually pretty good, and the UK PM and his wife were roundly booed by the crowds at this morning’s event. Vive la revolution!

    British novelty band the Kuntz are trying to get to #1 in the UK for the jubilee anniversary with “Prince Andrew Is a Nonce.” It’s no “God Save the Queen,” but if right-wing meme rappers can hit the US top 40 repeatedly, I wish it the best.

    I had lunch with the editor and cinematographer of my last three films today. It’s been about two years since I last saw her in person, so we had a lot to catch up on.

    My review of CRIMES OF THE FUTURE came out today in the Quietus: https://thequietus.com/articles/31622-film-crimes-of-the-future-david-cronenberg
