My first thought–the very first thought, the one that appalls me and at the same time makes perfect sense–upon seeing the devastated, blackened floors where the planes had crashed into the buildings, was not of the people who’d died, or the people who’d done this. It was of a semi-post-apocalyptic story that and I have worked on, called Legion. In that world, NYC has grown up even taller and darker than it is today, with a layer of pathways and streets high in the sky, connecting skyscrapers in a tangle…

Dad sent a link of the American Film Institute’s 25 top-rated musicals. We all agreed that “Singin’ in the Rain” unquestionably belonged in the #1 spot, but promptly fell to disagreeing about, oh, everything else.
