A Belgian woman to Erich Von Stroheim, after he executed her aged mother and kid brother (the latter dying in a salute to Belgium): "You foul fiend!"--Unbeliever
Dreamed of being a passenger on a small two-man helicopter powered by foot pedal; having a plane to catch but dawdling anyway; sleeping in a car driving overnight to a Massachusetts highway section named for Canadian Supreme Court Justice Frank Iacobucci.
Saw the last of the Edison silents DVDs. One of them was feature-length: the shameless World War I movie Unbeliever, about a guy who joins the US Marines and recovers his belief in God amid the privations of battle (sort of like Mel Gibson in Signs). With Erich Von Stroheim as the Beastly Hun officer who ends up getting fragged by the music-loving German soldier whose violin he smashed.
Dinner was spaghetti.
