Renee was one of my students years ago. I held her baby. She was kind and talented, a working class mom who put herself through school despite circumstances that would’ve crumpled the pathetic rich boy politicians who sadistically abetted her murder

@Sean_J_Fitz You’re on that peak Barry Hannah
Always wondered what brought him to write a story about William S Burroughs (Coots) finding himself in a Rudyard Kipling’s “Mark of the Beast” scenario
@yui_antinomy When those flinty eyes catch a glint of humor it’s magnetic as hell.
Have you read Harry Crews’s essay about Bronson? If not lemme know, it’s wild
@yui_antinomy Yessssss. Dark Angel’s in the pantheon for sure. Right up there with Lana Wood’s Demon Rage
The dissolve is from Crash! (1976) which totally ruled. Beautifully made. I didn’t know Charles Band was dropping bangers so early.
@thedadlitpod@JoelNedecky@SmashedEars Almost forgot, I’ve got a story about McCarthy and The Road that one of his pals told me in Santa Fe one time but I’ll save for the show.
Oh yeah, and I gotta remember to talk about Lauren Groff’s Arcadia and Masutsugo Ono’s At the Edge of the Woods 🧐
@thedadlitpod@JoelNedecky@SmashedEars Hell yeah. It didn’t land like this in my 20s, but now I think the last line of the book says a whole lot about parenthood and childhood, the things that can’t be put back or experienced again.
