Dreamed of a third season of the Dabney Coleman sitcom Buffalo Bill. (It had only two short seasons in 1983 and 1984.)
We drove down to Mimico Park. There was a nice offshore breeze, along with haze in the air.
Saw the video of Soldier of Orange, a movie about the Dutch Resistance in World War II directed by Paul Verhoeven before he sold his soul to Hollywood and made Basic Instinct. It's a terrific, believable film, free of the usual war-movie vainglory. I got the sens that there's a small distance between heroes, scoundrels and those who just protect themselves when the going gets tough.
Dinner was KFC.
Last night's Jekyll & Hyde DVD had some extra features, including a funny silent parody with Stan Laurel (before he met Hardy), titled Dr. Pickle and Mr. Pride.
Saw the video of Jean-Pierre Melville's famous first movie Bob le Flambeur. It was way cool, something like its contemporary Rififi, with a great hero and an unusual elegaic tone.
