You can also do this with a film. Highly advise.

What did I do to deserve a timeline full of big government republicans knocking the Chicago School?

No drama. Eyes on the prize.

Where did NR find its current crop of young writers. Affirmative action for kids who wear bow ties to CR meetups?

Lady in the Water is good. From the message, to the acting, the music, and Christopher Doyle’s stunning cinematography. I will die on this hill.

Congratulations Novak Djokovic!

Kinda want to see The Brutalist.

Many years ago I was part of an astrophysics seminar at MIT. I argued for a return to the moon and the creation of a moon base. I was thrilled to hear Elon Musk suggest it tonight. We are on the path to an extraordinary future.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is definitely my favorite Gilliam. Wonderfully creative on the largest scale. It’s what movies should be.

Brady Corbet must be charismatic as hell. Says to producers ‘I want to make a a 3.5 hour epic about a mid-century brutalist architect… and I want to shoot in on 70’. Their response is ‘let’s do it’. Amazing. Can’t wait to see it.

Vinegar Syndrome released Looking for Mr. Goodbar in 4k. First high quality video release for that movie. I’ve only seen it on a murky tv rip. It has a great performance by Diane Keaton.
