My thoughts on pie
Converting to a Communist country, now more popular than our current Congress. Amazing.
To be fair I think most poll respondents thought Hugo Chavez played for the Diamondbacks.
Gregor is a weird name.

“So …altogether I can’t believe the special stories that’ve been made up about our relationship to the universe at large because they seem to be…too simple, too connected, too local, too provincial.”
So beautiful.
You have to watch this.
From the creator of The Sagan Series comes The Feynman Series.
Here’s what actually happened: When we first met Thierry, he was supposed to be making a movie about Shepard. He was filming Shepard all the time, wherever he went. They made a deal, 50/50, we’ll make a movie. They shot for five years doing this, Shepard in his Spiderman prime, leaping off buildings and stuff. At the end of five years, Shepard says “Alright, let’s put the movie together,” and Thierry said “I’m not giving you the footage.” He’s actually quite smart and can be a little devious-he figured “I just took away five years of your fame,” because in his heart, Thierry always wanted to be the artist. He figured he was messing up his competition, in a way, and holding onto valuable footage. Shepard didn’t quite know what to do and filed a lawsuit against Thierry.
Then Banksy figured “I’m in the same situation, he has tons of footage for me.” He had some of the only footage of Banksy where you could actually see who he was. So he calls up Thierry and said “I’m sending you a first-class ticket to London, get on the plane, I have to talk to you.” That’s when he told Thierry that he would make a movie about him instead, in exchange for the footage, which Thierry turned over to Banksy. That’s when they realized that the footage wasn’t nearly what they thought it might be, but it turns out they did get a different sort of treasure trove, because you’ve got a portrait of this weird guy, Thierry.
Banksy is as smart as people think he is, and then some.
"Ron fills in some of the backstory behing how the film Exit Through The Gift Shop came about. The term win/win is often over used and under executed in business, but I think this is a pretty flawlessly executed case study of the term.

Commissioned by Kuratorium Aargau (who, I believe, provide grants for work in the visual arts) and directed by Crictor/Rafael Sommerhalder, these three cause-and-effect mini-productions are great little anticipation builders. This one is called Mouth. The other two are here: Arm and Eye.

Powers of Ten (1968), written and directed by Charles and Ray Eames. How is it that I didn’t see this classic film until I was in college? It’s perfect for kids! They should see this!
Thanks, Ariel Churi.
