Rain here in the San Bernardino valve just not nearly so colorful ads your neck of the woods. The leaves have returned to cottonwood trees, where they will resume their annual shimmering Wind dance, a carpet grass sprouted tiny orange flowers that shed their seeds had were gone within three days. A lot of green is growing. grass and brush. It's all just lovely in the evening sunlight.

But it is also very portentous of the work day ahead, clearing all of it for fires season. /// I love it that XL is involved in spreading film appreciation beyond Tinseltown. Good on him and how fortunate for his friends. The cinema must be considered as high art for as any other. Maybe, as it envelops every other art form, it could be considered the consummate artistic expression. I have long considered film entertainment of two species, movies and film. The vast majority of recorded entertainment... Is crap, fodder for the masses intended solely for profit. These I considered to be movies. But even as most of the shoestring, B.C & D $ productions have little artistic merit, they still complement a visual time capsule of history, the likes of which there has been no other. Films I considered to be artistic expressions, those magnificent works, Black and white, silent, timeless works that are in danger of being 'lost' in the future, unless people like XL expose others to the wonders of the form and it's fascinating history... What is XL's favorite movie/ film?

Thanks for your Comment, Dan.

And for focusing on Exsel's Johnny Appleseed role in spreading film heritage here in Santa Fe.

Along with Green Mile, his favorite films include a surprising Mudbound, Shawshank Redemption, and Cuckoo's Nest,
