Genius Marketing from Netflix
I went to see The Shining last night. Not ever interested in horror films, I had never before seen it. It lived up to the hype, but it was also quite funny in places. (C’mon, Shelley Duvall looked hilarious running around waving that knife limply in the air.) I have a point here and it’s

She writes: Using the jury system 1,2, 4, 5, is not more effective! In fact, it is more inaccurate than 1,2,3,4. Artists just don’t understand

Ben Shahn at the Blanton is a Must See
Did another quick trip to the Blanton Museum of Art yesterday before flying out of Austin. (Peace and patience to those of you having to fly today–I seemed to get out just in time.) I always recommend that people visit museums a little bit at a time. This is more difficult when you’re in a
