A treasure trove of Outsider Art discovered in a dumpster in 1970. Curious art, with a curious provenance. Note how it's value has steadily increased...from garbage, to $10,000 for the folio, to in excess of $10,000 per page...
I love this stuff...

Watched this again, 1999 - a much younger Keanu Reeves.
It holds up well and is still a superb film. Despite the abundant special effects. And what's crazy is thinking how much the world has changed in the ensuing 20 years - from dial-up downloads, technology, monitors, etc - yet despite that it hasn't aged poorly if at all - in fact, arguably, given all the shit films that have been made since - it's age has made it even better. Definitely worth a revisit if you haven't seen it since it first came out. It's from the olden days when studios used to pay writers...

Came well recommended - very much enjoyed, a different premise, but some interesting correlations with "The Parasite", also Korean and much applauded this year. Now - a bit of a meta analysis below - so don't click the read more unless you want major spoilers...
