    It is kind of refreshing to see a filmmaker pick out a particular Blu-Ray and hear her admit she hasn't seen it yet. It's something you don't see every day on this channel.

    I saw her two days in a row in NYC. The second time, I was standing behind her on line at a coffee shop. I broke my habit of leaving celebs alone because I was in my peak Brooklyn Nine Nine phase. Told her it was the second time in as many days. She said it must be fate and the abruptly turned back around 👏🏼👏🏼

    We watched "The Red Balloon" multiple years during my elementary school run, which, in hindsight, was a little odd because I grew up in the burbs in Houston, TX. I've asked other folks that went to school in other parts of Texas if they watched it as kids and they look at me like I have two heads. Maybe it was more of a generational thing than a regional thing, but, whatever the case, I love that little film.

The heads up I would offer is that Watership Down features very violent bunny rabbits and Fantastic Planet is a bit slow and trippy. Even though I dislike the word trippy.
