When I brought my kid to see The Muppets at age 2 1/2, we spent most of the movie walking around the lobby. That was a big dark room and too much light and sound. A year later, Ponyo was no good either. Too scary.
(The kid's 16 now, not a big moviegoer, but at these prices who can blame them)

I have a playlist which is nothing but versions of "Big Chief" and it's pretty damn good

I think the accordion in Mexican Norteño music comes from German presence in Mexico in the 19th century so there’s a historical precedent for Central European tamales. Plus Hungary has the spice

I understand the steps, the order I’m supposed to do them in, and why they actually work.

Looks like both "Ficciones" and "The Aleph and Other Stories" are in the big collected volume I have. Now here's hoping whatever translation I have is not too unlike whatever everyone else is reading. (Andrew Hurley).

Yet I hold out hope that the teens know something I don't know
I mean, they know, but will they share it with me?

She may also have been a good observer of herself. It’s been a while since I read her bio, but I remember (rightly or wrongly) some struggles with mental health.

Milwaukee?
No, not that either.
Which places are the heartland?

But even then, it’s not clear if the delusions that she has regained control from are hers or the house’s.

Yes!
That’s one reason why the end is so heartbreaking. Eleanor goes from, “I am really, really doing this,” to, “Why am I doing this? Why don’t they stop me?” And it seems like in that last second she has regained control… too late, too late.

This, very much so. It’s also hard to tell which are her delusions and what’s being put into her mind by the house.

for the rockets ‘exits’: wrote about one of my favourite artists, dorothy hood, and her belief in the intrinsic link between art and science; houston’s expansiveness, and how badly this team needs to shed their sole identity of brooding tough guys
