Gonzo Girl

Cheryl Della Pietra
Gary MorrisGary Morris

I'm very excited that the long-aborning adaptation of Cheryl Della Pietra’s novel GONZO GIRL started filming this week. Patricia Arquette is debut-directing Willem Dafoe as a dissolute journalist in late-stage creative decline. https://deadline.com/2022/07/camila-morrone-willem-dafoe-patricia-arquette-gonzo-girl-1235072590/

“It’s kind of—well, I see it as like Kate Atkinson’s LIFE AFTER LIFE, except that in every iteration, Natalie Portman falls for a 300-pound Minion named Gil Garr.” https://t.co/OT3FHHylIS

The Waste Land: A Facsimile & Transcript of the Original Drafts Including the Annotations of Ezra Pound

T. S. Eliot
Gary MorrisGary Morris

@ethan_iverson Fantastic thread, and applicable to mastery of every art form. Young Pollock impersonating Thomas Hart Benton, but also in literature. Modernist Eliot's The Waste Land is a close reading of English literature from Chaucer to Matthew Arnold.

It wasn't until after Salome, when Oscar Wilde's characters sounded more like his Twitter voice, that he pleased audiences and critics alike.

Of all the indignities visited posthumously upon Philip Roth, the @amazon “Look inside” his 1983 novel THE ANATOMY LESSON may be the worst. https://t.co/poWXTd4vhd

The French Dispatch

Wes Anderson
Gary MorrisGary Morris

It struck me, after enjoying approximately 20 minutes of The French Dispatch, that, ca. 2000, Wes Anderson must have read James Woods’s definition of Hysterical Realism and vowed to devote the rest of his career to perfecting the recipe. https://t.co/KqQGPv0ZPQ
