Out and About

Won't be posting too much today, going to be away from the computer a good part of the day, doing a photography project. Just a few notes of interest.

Salon has an interview this morning with my favorite cartoonist. And if you liked the interview, you'll surely want to consider the book.

And Al's book is still at #1 on Amazon. And that's not #1 nonfiction or #1 humor. That's #1 overall as of this morning.

Finally for this morning, I'll pass on a recommendation. This movie crosses over a couple of my interests. I've been a big fan of Brian De Palma going back to before Carrie, and while he has not been equally consistent in later years, Femme Fatale was a splendid return to form. An excellent thriller in the Hitchcock style (and btw, happy birthday Alfred, a day late), with erotic elements, an enjoyable Antonio Banderas, and nice to look at Rebbeca Romijn-Stamos, some old De Palma regulars, some great plot twists that deserve multiple viewings, a not too subtle homage to Hockney's collages (uncredited to the best of my knowledge), and the protagonist is a photographer.
