I imagine it was around the same time I was watching a lot of Theo Angelopoulos films ... or at least pretending to.

a quarter! you must be ironman. i kept getting stuck on page 3.

e.g. (paraphrasing)

“this is the column. the shadow hits the corner of the veranda...”

veranda! who gives a fuck! i wanna stab the bastard who wrote this in the eye.

i have never seen this angelopolous guy. there’s a thai filmmaker now making what im assuming it’s stuff in a similar genre. lemme look up his name...

apitchapong... “tropical malady” was goddamn unwatchable. i did like an hour of it? uffffff i think i attempted “syndromes and a century” first. or was it “uncle boonmee”? it is all a blur now. have never finished one.

eta: now i wanna try angelopoulos just to say i did hahahaha.
