Also in twenty years there’s going to be a generation of people who will assert “I loved those Avatar movies as a kid.” “They don’t make em like that anymore.” Etc.

What is the greatest American movie and why is it Road House? I say this because this movie is unapologetically itself. #filmsky

Watching Road House and Patricia Tallman is in it for a microsecond at the very beginning. I would love to interview her. I bet she’s got all the stories. #filmsky

I don’t completely buy into the whole “mind over matter” ethos. But I do think mind plays a part.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

This morning I watched a Buddhist monk load a twelve pack of Topo Chicos into his gleaming red Audi. That’s my Austin.
