Worked most of the weekend on the new department in True West to be called Graphic Cinema. Doing the incident in the Sierra Madres that led to Mickey Free riding a mule.

Did this scene on Saturday:



A Cliff Hanger, literally. Ha.

Saw a couple movies: "Winter's Bone," which I really liked, "The Other Guys" which was fun but very spotty (several times, the buddy-cop-farce with Will Ferrell and Mark Walhberg literally stops dead), and last but certainly not least, Akira Kurosawa's "High And Low," made in 1963, a police procedure noire. It's long, two and a half hours, but I watched it twice, once with subtitles and once with the commentary track. Trying to learn something.
