The way it was and is, a dualism
Parting words of some sort, last week or so been posting like a weasel over and over and i feel now that i have to officially sum things up, tie up any loose ends, and so on.
the dualism
it is daily becoming more situated, and firm that there are 2 focalities, film and books
film shall be for when it is dark and i can use the good tv, and after some 100 nights, or whatever sizeable chunk of time, some related tv shows, that would otherwise be gathering dust and bothering me at the back of my mind that i'm not watching them .... the collection is still alive, thank goodness, it was a drama that had to play out a mock funeral dirge that could be seen as a dress rehearsal for the real thing .... each film phase is a film era focus as stipulated in previous post
books - of what i have will be what will be read for roughly 100 days or whatever sizeable chunk of time is needed, and at such a time, from the current vantage point, i see myself then as diving in deep in the noir novel, it is to be stressed that what changed my mind is that before i read noir, i need to inundate the senses by watching noir.
No more updating posts, any diaries, journals, no Letterboxd, no keeping track electronically with what i read, watch and write, if i'm particularly impressed with anything i'll post about it after the fact, i must reject posting about anticipatory things that i continuously change my mind about.
It is good to have a plan, to have some kind of idea, to have a structure, limits, and etcetera, but it is also imperative to not be defined by limits and rules. This is something i grapple with, the complexity of choice, whether there is free will or not, fatalism, and so on, in the serious readings, renewed insight will be acquired, and in films a roundabout arrival at confirmed viewpoints. Serious and entertaining shall be wedded into a seamless whole, organic.
And i wish you all to look within as corny as that sounds, and rest yourselves, be quiet and still, and patient, and for whatever problem you are facing, know that there is hope even in the darkest of moments.
Love y'all, if i'm not active here, that's most probably a good sign, i'm either watching, reading, or sleeping. PEACE 😌
