How come no one ever told me that #GentlemenBroncos was a movie about writers camp? There's a scene in a class about fixing names by adding suffixes. That alone is worth the price of admission.
And yes, i'm changing my name to Robertonius.

The #ThreeColors trilogy. One of the best trilogies I've seen. Just watched it. They are over 30 years old and feel as fresh as if they had been done today. Stunning work.

Remembering this #cartoon I made years ago. The #NewYorker did not want it. They didn't say why.

That scene in The Sopranos where Christopher throws all his drafts and computer discs into a trash bag, walks out to the alley, and tosses them in the dumpster... has anyone ever done that? given up like that? Seems so brutal and difficult. It feels like death.

With #BadBunny all in the news, and USAmericans and others interested in #PuertoRico, I'd like to recommend this book. It's short and you'll get a good understanding of PR #history and understand a bit about where BB comes from and how bad #colonialism is.

Reading #OscarWilde plays for the 1st time and blown away by the incredibly sharp wit. Read Dorian Gray ages ago & barely remember it, but I def don't remember it being as funny as Lady Windermere or Woman of No Importance or Ideal Husband.
Where's the biting satire of our current gilded classes?

Highly recommended double feature:
Persona (Bergman 1966)
Unsane (Soderbergh 2018)
Brace yourself for two seriously mental masterpieces.

Highly recommended double feature:
The Father (Zeller 2021)
Vortex (Noe 2021)
Amazing that both these different takes on dementia came out the same year and are both so good and so different.

Was in DC this past week and was introduced to Planet Word, an immersive language museum. It was amazing. That first photo, that's the elevator.

Note to self: First sentences are important, but don't forget about those last sentences. It's the last sentence!
Anyone have some favorite last sentences?
Here's the one that always comes to my mind:

Before reaching the final line, however, he had already understood that he would never leave that room, for it was foreseen that the city of mirrors (or mirages) would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of men at the precise moment when Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, and that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth. –Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967; trans. Gregory Rabassa)

From the ICE website: Terrorism involves violence or the threat of violence against people or property to further a particular ideology.

By their own definition:
ICE is a terrorist organization.
