"the vague feeling that there must be something I want to do here, but unsure if it is any of this"

just wanted to let you know the site was just down while i was rearranging things, will definitely keep the writing up because i know what work getting erased feels like (and obviously 100% fine to share on your page; hope the column finds a new home). apologies for the confusion.

this shot is the whole movie to me - the act of rescuing/protecting as the real marker of humanity

not just a movie starring a Good Boy, but about the nature of rescuing & our innate drive to protect those who can't protect themselves. the woman carrying turtles onto the bus is the whole movie to me. i don't know why Gunn is the only one who can crack this code these days but so grateful for him.
