January 18, 2004

Dreamed of putting coins into a parking meter; playing a pinball machine; the 1970s porno-artfilm The Night Porter (which I've never seen) and a line from Pauline Kael's The New Yorker review:

The movie's claim that it has something serious to say about the spiritual dislocation caused by war is offensive, but it's too crudely trumped up to be a real insult.

The new computer boots really quickly!  I'll no longer be reading while waiting for it to get ready.

Saw Yasujiro Ozu's Late Spring, about a father who wants his daughter to marry even though she just wants to go on living with him.  It's a wonderful movie, one of Ozu's greatest.  Setsuko Hara was an amazing actress!

Finished Renny's Daughter and started Brighton Rock.  The latter's first sentence: "Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours, that they meant to murder him."

John and the girls came over for dinner, which was pizza.
