Dreamed of Hong Kong filmmaker John Woo holding a crowded conference outside our Sackville house.
Saw a DVD of Comedian, a documentary about standup comedians like Jerry Seinfeld.
Dinner was boiled ham.
Got a new Atlantic Monthly.
Saw Richard Fleischer's Soylent Green at the Revue. It's a misbegotten, cliche-ridden early-'70s dystopian tale of 2022 New York City with 40 million people, half of them unemployed. Cop Charlton Heston finds out that all the dead people are being taken to a big rendering plant to produce the substance that's preventing mass starvation. He has lines like "Something stinks here!" and "Get off my back!"
Finished Little House on Rocky Ridge (after midnight). A fine book.
