RIP Harold Pinter
 
A bit of Christmas bummer via Greencine.
I’m still making up my mind about whether or not the Nobel Prize winning Mr. Pinter was a great writer for me, personally, (and I need to revisit even the relatively small part of his work I already know and important works I’ve missed, particularly the film of Betrayal, or any version of “The Dumbwaiter” and, I guess, The Homecoming…which I think I’ve seen in some in some form…maybe). However, there’s certainly no denying his influence both on the stage and screen worlds.
For me, watching his work (either on film or as radio plays, so far) was either complete fascination or kind of completely the opposite, sometimes in the same piece. If anything, it’s the radio plays that I’ve heard, mostly in pieces, which I’ve found more consistently hypnotic, but that’s just me.
In any case, I’m sure he would want us to be terse at this point.
Me: So, I put on a YouTube video…..Is that alright?
You: Yes, yes it is.
Me: Alright, then.
