A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

Pacino is the last Corleone brother left. Appropriate I suppose.

Guys serve their time on bar stools like they’re behind prison bars, until there’s the occasion to sing. It’s a “guy walked into a bar joke” with soulful detours that still lands the punchline.

Over the weekend we were trying to explain to our kindergartner why a neighbor was passing out ICE whistle kits. What better way to illustrate America’s Immigration Story than Fievel?
There are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese.

Very early Hitchcock. Not mired in murder, crime, or espionage but there is a “wrongfully accused” incident that drives the titular descent that ends in filthy streets and madness.

Oscar nominated short. Weird, wild, on YouTube (The New Yorker Channel).
Dystopian future, mostly in a department store, where kissing is illegal, not talked about, and punishable by death.
I had no clue what was going on most of the time but what the hell, it’s a short.

Hadn’t gone back to this since seeing (and loving) Soielberg’s version.
At some point, the iconography kicks in, the right notes at the right moment, and sweeps you away.

Seahawks winning it all with Sam Darnold is further proof the Bengals *could* have won a Super Bowl with Andy Dalton… 2015 was the year to make a run. (Or maybe 2013 if Geno Atkins doesn’t tear ACL)

Can’t really diss a team that wins their conference, but it’s sure been cathartic watching Kansas City and New England get the crap kicked out of them back to back years.
