Loving Kill Bill’s Dialogue, Suspense and Poetry

7:30 a.m.

I seem to be having a good time. I love Kill Bill, it's worth a 8, or more, a 9.

I think it's a beauty. I like all 10 of my songs equally, not more, or less, but the same, all equals.

I love Quentin's dialogue, the prolonged suspense, the subtext, it's a real thing of beauty.

The artful poetry, the rhyming of it all, glorious.

I also liked the movie Basic Instinct.

It had the begin and end, poetry of that movie, After Hours, by Martin Scorsese, which is terrific to re-watch.

I have minor headaches, minor flashbacks of ███████, I don't want any relationship with ██████████████

Nobody Knows, Sangeetha Weeraratne and Sri Lankan Corruption

1:30 p.m.

This is a nice movie, Nobody Knows (2021), that is being released soon. If it hasn't already.

I will go to see it!

They have used a Red helium 8k camera to shoot it. I am waiting to buy a Arri Alexa LF 65 with DNA lenses from California office, to shoot with.

Sangeetha Weeraratne (a FB friend), I call Sangeetha aunty, is starring in it.

It's tackling Sri Lanka's serious corruption problem.

I think Sangeetha aunty, we might have to protect, or else her house will be burned down like ███████████████████ had her thug Baddegana Sanjeewa arson the homes of two actresses who criticised her.

I remember going to the supermarket with her, she bought me donuts, EVERYONE was staring at her.

I could hear my mum and brother screaming at each other, in Sinhala, Milan is very rude to her. They were fighting over a suit.

Milan insultingly referred to me as "that f***er!" and claims I am "not doing anything".

Which isn't true! I do more work in a few minutes than he does in his entire year.

A number of his Softlogic PLC directors, they want to work for me!

I am singing, Jacques Huyghebaert's song:
