KarynKusama recommended The Year of Living Dangerously (1983) in Movies (curated)

"This is a movie to watch when you crave good old-fashioned Hollywood glamour. A young Mel Gibson practically sets the screen on fire with his flinty charisma, as a journalist in way over his head in 1960s Indonesia. With a revolutionary turn by the actress Linda Hunt as a male photographer, and Sigourney Weaver as a British correspondent toying with Gibson’s affections, this is a lustrously intelligent entertainment."

"Cyberpunk’s “On the Road,” a “consensual hallucination” of a revolutionary vision of the future. This was my introduction to William Gibson’s work, which then led me to “Johnny Mnemonic.” (As a fan of his, I contacted Gibson because I wanted to make the film “Johnny Mnemonic.”[Ed. note: Longo directed the film.]) Books are like dreams. I was eager to see what a universe like this could look like."

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated Judgment of the Grave in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Sweeney's interest in grave art leads her to Josiah Whiting, a gravestone carver from the Revolutionary War. But a researcher who was looking into Josiah goes missing. What could Josiah's secret be? Another good story with characters I like. Well, most of them anyway. I still haven't warmed up to Tim Quinn.

"I read The Easter Parade or Revolutionary Road every year. Richard Yates is just a good word-for-word on-the-page writer. He couldn’t be more different than someone like Joy Williams or Raymond Carver. His sentences are very complex, the stories are complicated and he was such a miserable man. I always like people who would hate me. I don’t know what that’s about. But Richard Yates would definitely hate me"
