Dreamed of being in a car and trying to tell the one in charge of the radio that I was annoyed by songs like Phil Collins' "Another Day in Paradise."
Saw the documentary Tell Them Who You Are at the Elgin. It's an entertaining portrait of the Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler, made by his photojournalist son Mark. He's a real character. The audience was in stitches during the scene where the father wanted to talk about the antiwar rally he attended that day, but the son wanted to film him on the balcony in the light of the setting sun, the father wanted to stay inside, and they ended up bickering.
Then I saw Final Cut, a terrific documentary about the making of the movie Heaven's Gate. (It appeared back in 1980, when a movie's failure could actually matter.) Now that I think about it, Heaven's Gate would have made a good silent movie.
Dinner was salmon.
Baked rye bread overnight.
