I know, I know, another movie review – but I just have to share the good ones I come across – they seem to be too few and too far in between. I had a chance to see Jiro Dreams of Sushi yesterday at the Boulder International Film Festival. A wonderful, wonderful film about a dedicated artist. Amazing. It reminds me of this Todd Oldham quote about "bothering" that hangs on my studio pin board –
"Somebody bothering to bother. To think that a man would devote basically his life's work to just the facade of the entrance to one building with the most intricate inlay – it was so great that someone bothered to bother. Because very few people bother to bother – it takes a lot of time and effort."
I think it's a good life motto, no matter how we embody it – and Jiro has done it exquisitely.
I'm going to see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen tonight. Add them to your Netflix queue or watch from them on a screen near you – Jiro opens nationwide March 12th.
So beautiful!
I LOVED Pina…so very happy that you mentioned it as I didn’t know it was here. So many wonderful trailers and yes, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen was one of them.
thank you for being so connected!

and saved itself just for beauty!
This was a very beautiful movie! I watched it with the wife and we both were amazed. The man is very talented, and has much wisdom to share about life..and sushi!
