Here’s a scan of Page 20 of the January 2012 issue of San Pedro Today featuring a discussion about Under Angels. Special thanks to Joshua Stecker and Margaret Sharpe of SPT.

From ‘Se7en’ to ‘The Game’ to ‘Fight Club’ to ‘The Social Network’, director David Fincher explains reasons why he made each of his films.
The Game (1997): “The Game was a movie that I liked the idea of this gigantic Twilight Zone episode that became The Stunt Man. That you could sit down and look at the bill and go, ‘Oh, really? So you had divers when I was in the cab. That’s nice to hear now. But at the time I really thought I was drowning.’ So you know, there’s different reasons for [choosing] everything.”
And a thought for the day:
“You don’t want to do the same shit over and over.”
— David Fincher

This site has a particular post that’s received lots of traffic over the years, entitled Triangle, Square, Circle: A Psychological Test. It’s a study conducted at Bauhaus by Wassily Kadinsky in 1923, asking people to associate one of three shapes (triangle, circle, square) with one of three colors (red, yellow, blue).
Before continuing below, try the test now to see what you come up with.
Done? OK! Now, I just received a message from a reader on the web who stumbled across said post. He clued me in to the logo of the EICTV — in English, that’d be the International Film School — founded by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Havana back in the eighties. The logo was created by the Argentinian Fernando Birri, inspired by the Bauhaus school of art. Note his color assignments. 
The January 2012 issue of San Pedro Today is out, with a jaw-dropping cover story on last month’s historic Paseo Del Mar collapse that occurred in our old backyard on the coast of Los Angeles. GREAMER WAS HERE.
The issue also features an interview they conducted with me about Under Angels. There is in fact a curious connection between the two; the Under Angels tale begins on a drizzly hillside just yards away from that exact bluff in 1939. Also to be notably filed under G for “Go Figure”: said doomed bluff fell on November 20, literally the day after I left town. Chicken skin. More on all this later; I’m told that the issue will be viewable online next week when the magazine launches its new site.
