Pier One Continues to Melt
I’ve been peeing on Pier One on this blog for years, because my view is that it’s simply aping its collapse back in 2007/2008. So far, so good. Firm support is at $0, and until then, scented candles,throw pillows,and other useless bric-a-brac await. How many bamboo back scratchers does the world really need, anyway?
Escape from Shawshank Redemption
I am a big movie buff (some of you may remember I’ve even written a screenplay – – so, umm, any movie producers out there, drop me a line). When I love a movie, I’ll watch it a dozen times or more. Here on Slope, we’ve had some lively discussions about great movies, but one of the classics I never got around to watching was The Shawshank Redemption, even though it is consistently near the top of any list of great films.
Today I watched it, and I enjoyed it. I now understand why people like it so much. However, I was struck by the similarities between the movie and one of my favorites from my childhood, Escape From Alcatraz, which came out about fifteen years before Shawshank.
