(2011) Iron Giant meets The Gooneys on steroids and swearing like they’re The Bad News Bears is awesome. |

(2012) How can you pull off such an incredibly difficult and visionary undertaking but then fuck up on the easy parts? |

This was the most depressing week of my life. I should’ve just dug in and got it over with in like a day. God it’s an amazing story but wow is it ever brutal.
Somehow I think it’s important to know how things really went down with the whole independence from England thing and this book seems to have the greatest number of personal letters and memoirs as well as a conservative writer who stays out of his own way and lets you just get way inside this beast.
I hugely recommend it but try to get it over with as quickly as possible cuz knowing how it ends doesn’t really help.

1. I found this trip to Mexico City to be very inspiring. I noticed these projects were so clean and white punctuated with those classic festive Mexican colors. I’ve drunk rivers of tequila to those colors.
2. Modern Mexican art. Aw dontcha just love the little guy. I do.
3. This poster was in the hotel complex elevator. Ew.

Since I don’t see them til they’ve been going for years I love this new trend in cinema where they make like an 80 hour movie and every 50 minutes they give you the option to stop. |

(2013) So inappropriately cast that even I couldn’t make it to wherever it is that Leonardo DiCaprio comes in. |

I’m having vacation. It’s awesome. I also am so glad to be back in the calm and conservatively witty elegance of an Elkins novel.
That last one I read was pretty full on (It kinda fell apart toward the end but the guy just kept writing down amazing ideas anyway) and before that one I had lived thru a Cussler novel which was probably the lowest writing I’ve ever read even from him (or rather his very impressive Warhol-like assembly line/sweatshop factory of pop novels).
So here I am with not an airplane or desert island novel but really just my perfect vacation novel from the ACTUAL inventor of the show BONES.
It’s like heaven but where there’s still the occasional murder.
