This was curious and I was surprised I missed it when it originally came out. The premise, the camera follows around the "hero" on various philosophical/intellectual ventures and encounters, and while I suspect it was originally filmed it's then run through various photoshop filters to give it a variety of animation styles that reflect the people he's talking with. So - in a way a "cartoon" with highbrow pretensions, but - despite the various animation styles the add to the premise of the film, not detract from it.
Good, not great.
Anyways, such a thing would probably never be done these days, a "director" would merely feed in a pile of prompts to his/her favourite AI and have such a thing generated, far less work...

A headline in todays paper:
Because that's how you measure cocaine: In the number of Bears it would kill. As in the movie "Cocaine Bear". Gotta engage the treehuggers somehow...
I'm not even certain they were trying to be funny...

Yesterdays hilarious denials by a mock-upset Melania protesting she was not friends with Epstein. There are literally countless photos that argue otherwise.
Something is up...
One particularly droll reddit observation was that Trump needs a distraction from the Iran War...and has decided the Epstein files are the lesser of two evils.

And visited the Nelson Art Gallery today, the members show and sale, 40% to the gallery, the rest to the seller. Limited to one artwork per member, I was so impressed at the diversity of styles and the quality of work that I'm going again tonight to take down a few of the names of the artists. The Gallery, unfortunately, does not have their works posted on their website.
Interesting as well how I recognize some of the artists - their appearance frequently belies their talent.
