Here’s a film I never really rated. Arrival.

#PaulineKael

Speaking of #PaulineKael, @mmckeg.bsky.social & @mathitak.bsky.social , she gets a nod in lovely new #KentJones film #LateFame when we pan over a shelf of books in poet's apartment. Mark, witn your interest in writers & how they are received, I think you might find the film of special interest

1) Hey @mathitak.bsky.social U may recall I spoke 2 #PaulineKael several times on the phone, went to 1 film witn her & went out 4 drinks. She was engaging tho I was disappointed she wanted 2 talk more about new films being made than about older films & film history, more my thing then & still now
