Well, Tuesday/Wednesday is my official weekend and here we are. I'm watching the Asquith version of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. I have little or no knowledge of GBS, aside from knowing he was a politically active playwright. Criterion just released a collection of his filmed plays, mainly by Gabriel Pascal.
There is a contest for the entire Akira Kurosawa collection from Criterion, and the contest involves writing one sentence. Here is my entry, in the form of a Zen Koan:
A monk asked Kurosawa, "What is the meaning of cinema?" Drawing his samurai sword, he hacked the camera to pieces. "If you meet cinema, kill it."
One thing about the George Bernard Shaw readings/watchings. I definitely consider myself a Fabian Socialist.
