Rivers and Tides

I saw a preview for this documentary and found it hypnotizing. Andy Goldsworthy has one of the most fascinating lives I've ever partially witnessed. He has a wife, and kids, and a seemingly normal life up to that point, but then you consider that every morning he wakes up, and starts walking outside often not knowing what he is going to do. He's an artist, but hard to catelog. He makes art from rocks, ice, leaves, rivers, and at some point he surely will surprise you. Most art today once finished is final, and more or less permanent but often Andy's pieces end in collapse and creates this strange but captivating story that weaves you along through the film.

Reviews? Here. Preview? Here.

All Apologies.

Well there's a million excuses but it all boils down to me dropping the ball on this. Travel/weddings/family/taxes/car/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah. It occurred to me that maybe a single person in my position isn't quite suited for a weekly entry. It takes some work. I haven't been able to consume docs at the rate I did a year ago. I travel every week for work, and at the moment, I'm not sure where all my Netflix videos are. I need to create an infrastructure. I need some cohorts. So if you are a doc fiend, and you'd like to participate, send me your resume. Besides that, I'm back on, but I'm taking a lighter commitment. Once a month. This also comes about because the docthursday "club" couldn't sustain itself. Turns out not everyone has the same taste as me in documentaries. Kind of disappointing. I gotta stop hanging out with people who don't agree with my opinions.
