i wanted to watch it in a ceremonial/serious kind of way but was too impatient to start and watched half late last night before sleep, then half today as soon as work was over.
o man
this was something else
also props to dick cavett for having that kind of conversation in a teevee talk show which i was not aware it had existed until, coincidentally, just last sunday the nyt had a feature about him, and the tales were perplexing—mohammed ali going on about vietnam for 90 minutes, for example—and to se the way jamews baldwins goes on without moderation or interruptions—wow. apparently it’s all on youtube now.
anyway, im sorta speechless, and just came to say thanks, and wow, thanks. and then! lol
but anyway, yes. watch this great thing. it so needs to be analyzed. and discussed. and then discussed again. and rewatched. and talked about some more.

Where did you watch it? I'd like to see it. I saw a screening of The Searchers this week end and a speaker before the screening made a reference to Baldwin and this documentary.
I wish there was someone like Dick Cavett on TV. He also brought Ingmar Bergman and Godard to American TV sets. Always a great interviewer who knew when to shut the fuck up.
