Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction is great work. Read somewhere that Walken filmed in different moods so Tarantino can edit with ease later. – at Manhattan, NY

Read biographies. they give you the raw, lived experience of a person rather than abstract theories or grand narratives. You see the decisions, failures, ambitions, and ordinary moments that shaped someone’s life.

The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard. Written in the 1950's when all of marketing and ad world was exploding. Useful to see how messages land and the extent people become agreeable. Recommend this for marketing and propaganda fans. – at Manhattan, NY

Have yet to read a bad book written by a movie director. Ken Russell's Altered States autobiography is a sledgehammer. Realistic, rugged and hilarious. Recommend for anyone into film. – at Manhattan, NY

THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007) spends its opening stretch watching Daniel Plainview break his body for silver, crawl out of a mine and drag himself toward a fortune without saying a word.

The earlier one finds this the better. Short, smart, easy to read and forgiving. Good stocking stuffer. – at Manhattan, NY

Obscure biographies fill in historical perspectives of how life was. The creator of The Wizard of Oz found success later in life and kept at it till the very end. Unfortunate financial decisions and stress did not impact his output. Was an interesting read but can't recommend. – at Manhattan, NY

A genuine writer wants to be writing all the time - not just to attain fame for ‘having written.’ Someone like Kafka, or Thomas Mann is journaling almost every day. Almost graphomania. You read this stuff about people winning prizes for AI written pieces - they can’t be real writers. They’re looking for acclaim - not doing it as a compulsion. This gives me a little hope that genuine original writing will survive - because some people just can’t help it, and maybe will break through.

Over the weekend read Sylvester Stallone's new memoir The Steps. Enjoyable, honest and brutal. Great read for ambitious creatives. Given the structure I see a second book on the way. – at Manhattan, NY
