Update--Full Moons and Tornadoes, Pandemics and Riots
Jesus--I forgot one. I watched five, not four films yesterday. I left out "The Beaver Trilogy, Pt. 4." This was a weird one. I won't try to explain it, really. It is a documentary about the events...

Gone with the Wind
HBO Max pulled "Gone with the Wind" from its lineup because of its racial depictions. Sure, we all get it. That movie was never a guide to good social behavior. You are not supposed to take your...

Experimental
I'm fucking up, just like I fucked up this photo. It was a perfectly lovely photo, but I wanted to experiment a bit. I'm not through with it. I have other ideas. But ideas are what get me into...

Endless Hours of Watching T.V. and. . . .
