Just so you know, JB, when you wonder who watches movies like NO and 20 Feet From Stardom, it's me. Largely on your recommendation. Dug 'em both. A lot.<br /><br />I'm especially grateful for Deceptive Practice. It took me back to childhood, when I used to read everything I could about magic. I was always too lazy to practice the tricks, but I couldn't get enough of learning how they were done and watching pros perform them. Jay is fun to watch, but I also really enjoyed the "mentor" segments. And the description of that trick in the restaurant? Every bit as amazing as you promised. Wow.Erichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442117462054923058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-91877525523894237652014-01-10T20:44:02.403-06:002014-01-10T20:44:02.403-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442117462054923058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-50410289869510882922014-01-10T15:54:14.512-06:002014-01-10T15:54:14.512-06:00Yeah but you loved Beasts of the Southern Wild :-)...Yeah but you loved Beasts of the Southern Wild :-)Adam Riskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165600746796326821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-55936064860990695292014-01-10T14:04:44.631-06:002014-01-10T14:04:44.631-06:00I agree with your assessment of Edgar Wright's...I agree with your assessment of Edgar Wright's movies there, Erich, and hope that will be the case.

Edgar Wright makes movies that do the opposite. Even if it gets almost no attention this year, we'll still be talking about <i>The World's End</i> a decade from now.
