Best first watches, September Old: SHE SHOOTS STRAIGHT — Frenzied soap opera about Joyce Godenzi's struggles with her in-laws, interspliced with some of the most insane action sequences I've ever witnessed. One of Corey Yuen's best. New: CHIME

I do see songs on Spotify titled "Hara Setsuko," "Takashi Shimura," "渥美清" (that is, Atsumi Kiyoshi), and "竹内力" (that is, Takeuchi Riki).

I like that one! A flashback in a flashback in a flashback in a flashback. The closest Carpenter ever came to The Saragossa Manuscript.

By Flann O'Brien: My grasp of what he wrote and meant Was only five or six %. The rest was only words and sound — My reference is to Ezra £.
