**********
Somehow, impressively, this year was even worse for my reading habits than 2020. I didn't read nearly enough -- you'll notice a lot of very short works on that already-pretty-damn-short book list -- and, overall, the stuff I did read was much too low-quality.
(I was seriously contemplating making a couple of snarky anti-awards this year. Some of those books were bad.)
Public transit really made a difference, man.
Anyway. Onwards and upwards. I'm guessing that 2022 may continue to be pretty rough, reading-wise, but...we will do better.
I continue to seek recommendations for Really Good Reading Material. Especially recommendations for Really Good nonfiction -- stuff in the "I now feel I know something substantial and important about the world" or "I now feel like I've been shown how to see things in a whole new light" categories. Excellent fiction is also great, of course, but I do have a small stack of plausibly-excellent fiction to which I haven't gotten yet (so that I could plow through easily-digestible trash, in many cases).

A Canadian mother of four boys under the age of six has described her shock after receiving a letter which complained that her children played too loudly in the family’s backyard. Posted with no return address to Morgan DeCairos DeBoer’s home in Newmarket, a town about 35 miles north of Toronto, the letter said it was a “friendly request” from several neighbours frustrated with the “frequent screaming and shrieking” of her children. It continued: “This is very disruptive whether we are outside or inside and interrupts whatever we are doing, be it TV, reading or napping.” Closing the windows did not help mask the sound, it added. 11. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell,_Ontario#/media/File%3ACanada_Southern_Ontario_location_map_2.png 12.

It wouldn’t be fair any other way.” Bundchen said she wants Brady to be happy. “He’s so focused right now,” she told the Wall Street Journal. “He has a laser focus on just winning and being the best, and I said, ‘You know what?

The model said she was initially skeptical about letting the cameras into their home. The documentary also sparked internet backlash when Brady was seen giving his son an “uncomfortably long kiss” on the mouth. “People are like, ‘Oh, Gisele must have told Tom [to do it],’” she said. “He’s the one who had to come and ask me.” 15.

Sundance 2019: 20 Films We Can’t Wait to See in Park City
The Sundance Film Festival is starting tomorrow, January 24th, and promises 11 days of cinematic discovery. The film year doesn’t really start until Sundance starts, premiering some of the movies that will be on year-end lists in 11 months. The 2018 iteration was a particularly strong one, including the premieres of “Sorry to Bother You,” “Blindspotting,” “Eighth Grade,” “Leave No Trace,” “Wildlife,” “Minding the Gap,” “Three Identical Strangers,” “Blaze,” and many more. Looking over the lists of what will play at Sundance over the next week-and-a-half, it’s easy to pick out 20 movies that we’re particularly excited to cover, although we’re just as excited at what will come completely out of nowhere, surprising us with its stellar quality.

Former staffers, college friends, and reporters reflect upon the public perception of Weinstein as a visionary, while detailing his ruthless attempts to preserve his power as scandal threatened to engulf him. In candid, emotional, often-harrowing testimony—with many accusers speaking on camera for the first time—Untouchable exhumes both the method and the collateral damage of Weinstein’s alleged abuse. As the criminal case against him continues, the film questions whether meaningful change in the justice system—and in the film industry—is really possible.

Written and Directed by Dan Gilroy
Category: Premieres
In the cutthroat world of fine-art trading and representation, up-and-coming agent Josephina (Zawe Ashton) stumbles across a secret weapon: hundreds of dazzling paintings left behind after an elderly tenant in her building dies. Ignoring the instructions the clandestine artist left to destroy his work, she promptly starts circulating the paintings, which soon attract the attention of the heavy hitters around her—including her boss Rhodora (Rene Russo), art critic (and Josephina’s sometime lover) Morf (Jake Gyllenhaal), and competing collectors, managers, and curators like Bryson (Billy Magnussen) and Gretchen (Toni Collette). Yet as the deceased artist’s portraits gain posthumous acclaim, they also awaken something imperceptible and sinister that threatens to punish those who have profited from his work.

It’s July 1977, and New York City is awash with escalating violence. A citywide blackout is triggering fires, looting, and countless arrests, and the Son of Sam murders are riddling the city with panic. June, once a celebrated counterculture figure, attempts to retreat from the chaos by shutting herself inside the yellowed walls of her grandmother’s South Bronx apartment. But her doorbell is ringing incessantly, the heat is unbearable, and creeping paranoia and fear are taking hold. Visitors, some invited, some unsolicited, arrive one by one, and June must determine whom she can trust and whether she can find a path back to her former self.

Ancient Organisms Ebb and Flow in Max Cooper's New Music Video
Screencaps by the author
On Emergence, electronic musician Max Cooper took as inspiration the various ways in which order forms out of chaos when organisms coalesce to form larger entities. A series of music videos, with work by Kevin McGloughlin and Maxime Causeret, explore this theory through visuals tightly linked to the music. In Cooper’s latest animated music video, “Seed,” featuring vocals by Katherin deBoer, colorful deep-ocean organisms react to the song’s rhythms, textures, and vocals. Cooper says that these building blocks of artistic expression were paired with the early expressions of life.
Initial recordings of deBoer’s vocals were layered and powerful, but Cooper ultimately decided to strip her voice down to its barest. This, he felt, seemed to fit with the idea of the music being part of a larger narrative of early multicellular life, where organisms competed for nutrients in an aquatic environment for more than 500 million years before land life began. With this as the artistic seed, digital artist Vincent Houze took over with his CG animation.
“Vincent did an amazing job of making this early life, and the ebb and flow of the ocean, dance to the music,” says Cooper. “If you watch carefully, every movement and change in visual structure is linked to tonal changes and rhythms in the music. Of course, it’s not biologically accurate—it’s Vincent’s interpretation of the story, as it’s not supposed to be a science lecture.”
Houze’s visuals riff on Cooper musical details, including the partially randomized complexity in the percussion. As a result, the video reflects the song’s organic rhythms, spectral and glitchy effects, and tremolo chord sequence.
“As with all of the Emergence content, it’s primarily designed to point us towards the beauty of natural processes and systems, and their links to how we feel,” Cooper says. “The feeling conveyed also makes me think of the fragility of these systems, in light of the bleaching of many reefs in recent times, by rising sea temperatures.”

Posted with no return address to Morgan DeCairos DeBoer’s home in Newmarket, a town about 35 miles north of Toronto, the letter said it was a “friendly request” from several neighbours frustrated with the “frequent screaming and shrieking” of her children. It continued: “This is very disruptive whether we are outside or inside and interrupts whatever we are doing, be it TV, reading or napping.” Closing the windows did not help mask the sound, it added. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell,_Ontario#/media/File%3ACanada_Southern_Ontario_location_map_2.png CELEBRITY NEWS Published March 27, 2018 Gisele Bundchen says she won't force Tom Brady to retire By Katherine Lam | Fox News The 32-year-old model revealed in a Wall Street Journal interview that while she has concerns when it comes to her husband playing football, she would never tell him to retire. “It’s not my decision to make,” she said about retirement talks involving the New England Patriots quarterback. “It’s his decision, and he knows it. It wouldn’t be fair any other way.” Bundchen said she wants Brady to be happy. “He’s so focused right now,” she told the Wall Street Journal. “He has a laser focus on just winning and being the best, and I said, ‘You know what? This is what you’re doing right now in your life, and you need to feel complete in it, because if I’m the one who comes and says something and then you make a decision based on something that I said—’” GISELE BUNDCHEN ANNOUNCES NEW BOOK THAT WILL COVER HER LIFE STORY, MARRIAGE TO TOM BRADY Continue Reading Below Bundchen added that she’s “entitled” to be concerned about the long-term impacts of concussions on Brady because he’s the father of his children. The model added, “If you don’t have your health, what do you have?” Bundchen also revealed Brady had convinced her to partake in the “Tom vs. Time” Facebook documentary. The model said she was initially skeptical about letting the cameras into their home. The documentary also sparked internet backlash when Brady was seen giving his son an “uncomfortably long kiss” on the mouth. “People are like, ‘Oh, Gisele must have told Tom [to do it],’” she said. “He’s the one who had to come and ask me.” The description of the book concludes noting that she hopes her story will inspire other women. “‘Lessons’ reveals the inner life of a very public woman -- one that will inspire women of all ages to uncover their own power, meaning and purpose.” http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/03/21/gisele-bundchen-announces-new-book-that-will-cover-her-life-story-marriage-to-tom-brady.html https://pagesix.com/2018/03/27/tom-brady-likes-fashion-more-than-gisele-does/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow “It’s his decision, and he knows it.
