    Reflections Of A Man And His Picture

    anna missed, also known as Jack Chevalier, died a couple weeks ago. I only know his art from what I have seen at this sight and mostly from this particular blog. I think his art and the accompanying article are worth a view.

    Hungry Caterpillar no more

    The art of children's books is truly beguiling, hit and miss. Partly for parents, partly for the kids, but at what age even, fleeting at best. Sometimes the art of simplicity, sometimes of mystery, sometimes a story, a narrative, or just the setting, or a character to believe in. But why a caterpillar? Green fuzz, tiny, kind of gooey, persistent, ravenous til ate it all up. It's all good - lights out, go to sleep, Mr. Carle, go to sleep...

    Why Hollywood Stays Woke

    I want to precede this post by saying I, unlike a lot of critics, have enjoyed "woke" films. In 2016, The Legend of Tarzan was released. Despite having a disappointing box office reception, the film accurately depicted the reality of colonial Africa at the time Edgar Rice Borroughs set his character. (With a budget of $180 million, it did $356.7 million at the box office.)

    Berkeley Telegraph: Hippie & Redneck Conversion

    All those drugs ran over whatever great ideas they had.

    And yet what's running over the ideas of the rest of America?

    It's one thing to blame lunatic fringe theory on acid and lures - another when it's just listening to talk radio.

    "Call Me By Your Name"

    Everyone should know about this one, because it's news, it is becoming a big culture wars item, conservative Christian types (all colors) are having heart attacks (they got fooled by "Old Town Road" and the country music appreciation that he might be a friendly). Especially the scene starting around 2:00. And
