3-D Herzog

I’ve gone and done that dummy move again, where I see something amazing, mean to write about, start a draft, then forget about it. By the time I post these things, they have faded, or I can’t find the right …

SIFF so far this year

Behr came to visit a few weeks ago, and her last day here coincided with the opening of SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival). We decided to do a super movie day which involved watching a movie in the morning, having …

Digging the Dancing Dream

We watched a spectacular documentary/dance film earlier this week: Dancing Dreams (2010) shows 40 teens learning and performing a dance piece under the supervision of Pina Bausch and two of her principal dancers. The kids have never danced …

True Grit (2010)

All Consuming

I’m still letting my Vacation Roundup post percolate – what I can say is that I watched a lot of movies, read a lot of books, and ate a lot of food during the last 2 weeks.

Marshmallow misery

We went camping and hiking up on Mount Rainier this weekend. I guess I should say in Mount Rainier National Park, not on Mount Rainier – I’m no Lou Whittaker.* We stayed at the Ohanapecosh campgrounds, with our tent not …

Grey Gardens (2009)

I tried to watch all of the original Grey Gardens a few weeks ago, but couldn’t get through it. I thought maybe there was something wrong with me – this was supposed to be one of those seminal, amazing, cult-audience-having …

Ground Control to Major Tom

I haven’t seen any comments on my posts in awhile, which can mean a few things:

• my posts are not inciting enough
