This was an enjoyable documentary about a band I'd never heard of, but, following the documentary, I'm more than a little curious to learn more.
Inspiring.

About a UFO. And I don't want to give any spoilers, but the best Chimpanzee scene since "Being John Malkovitch", I am a bit curious as to the "Meta" - the other, hidden meanings in the film, superficially it was entertaining, not great, but I suspect as with other Jordan Peele films there was a lot going on there that I didn't get...
Anyways, good, and while I'm not certain my analysis is correct I'll conjecture he's depicting our rather unhealthy relationship with the media...

I liked this. He does a fine job of blending history, fact and fiction in a manner that makes you suspend all disbelief. He finds the heartstrings of reality...

This was a fortuitous discovery on the way back from the reunion - Kingfisher Books in Creston.
A congenial owner and fine selection of classics and vintage books in a cafe styled setting. I stocked up on winter reading, titles included:
- The Four Chambered Heart - Anais Nin
- The Wisdom of the Heart - Henry Miller
- Fantastic Fables - Ambrose Bierce
- Lectures on Don Quixote - Nabokov
++ The Master and Margarita and a poor translation of Choderlos de Laclos's "Dangerous Liasons". These last two I am perpetually recommending, thus to find them means I have something to pass on to other readers - when I meet them.
