I’m guessing Quentin Tarantino never watched 2018’s Escape At Dannemora. Brilliant ensemble, with Paul Dano excelling.
(I’m ready for a 3rd viewing.)

A forever fan of Frank Gehry's architectural design genius, my walks through the Princeton campus were always hilighted by his Lewis Science Library. On left, it rises behind the late Richard Serra's 'The Hedgehog and the Fox'. May they both eternally rest in peace.

Tom Stoppard, one of the mightiest playwrights ever, has passed. We are fortunate he has left us with a bounty of genius works. History will not forget him, such a legacy and such a personal story from which to draw.

This image of Jackson Browne caught nearly 50 years ago by Henry Diltz, came to mind immediately when I learned of Ethan’s passing. Hello fatherhood..

Unclear where this war profiteering plan came from or why it emerged right now, but clear that it is in every way disastrous
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

btw, the scariest monster on Netflix right now is Matthew Macfadyen portraying President Garfield's assassin Charles Guiteau in 'Death By Lightning'. Positively chilling, even blood curdling. (And then just wait for Dr Bliss to show up....) 😱

Bob Ross auction update:
His 3 paintings at Bonhams just earned American Public Television $520,000.00. Each painting sold for many multiples of their estimates, at $90,000, $180,000, and the last for $250,000. Another batch will be offered in January. Happy trees, indeed!
