The Unexpected Heaviosity of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Steve Almond’s (very very late) review of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:

The sequence lasts barely a minute. It is an astonishing piece of physical humor, an emotional ballet worthy of Chaplin. Hell, it’s one of the best pieces of acting I’ve ever seen, period. Because it’s not just funny, it’s heartbreaking. We are watching a kid utterly crippled by his own conflicted impulses, torn between outrage and obedience.

Or maybe not. This went up instead of nothing.

Southeast Utah Photography

The southeastern corner of Utah is breathtakingly beautiful, and I was lucky enough to get out there earlier this year for my first photography vacation since the pandemic. It did not disappoint.
