With spring upon us and the return of some warmth to my bones, I set to explore my new(ish) neighborhood. We have a huge, outstanding library. I found a great, comprehensive book on James Wong Howe (whose real name is Wong Tung Jim...and came known as the former due to a 1st grade teacher's mix up...or probably her concerted effort to Americanize his name) which made me wanna rewatch one of his last (& one of my favorite) films, Hud*. It's breathtaking and always invokes a feeling of "I wanna make things!" from me. Plus, Paul Newman plays evil in it...and who can't eat that up?
*Note, I did not watch it from this youtube posting. It would be too shameful to do so.
