Glitter at the Dark Tower
"The centre of transformations that
Transform for transformation's self,
In a glitter that is a life, a gold
That is a being, a will, a fate."
— Wallace Stevens, "Human Arrangement"

Notes towards a Dark Tower*
Or: Shema, SXSW
|
The doors open slowly. I step into a hangar. From the rafters high above, lights blaze down, illuminating a twelve-foot cube the color of gunmetal. My pulse rate kicks up. I can’t believe what I’m looking at. Leighton must sense my awe, because he says, “Beautiful, isn’t it?” It is exquisitely beautiful. At first, I think the hum inside the hangar is coming from the lights, but it can’t be. It’s so deep I can feel it at the base of my spine, like the ultralow-frequency vibration of a massive engine. I drift toward the box, mesmerized.

Inkling
"A tight story is one thing, but a 95-minute feature
that is unable to give even the slightest inkling
that it’s based on a grand-scale epic masterpiece
is something else entirely."
