Barakamon (2014)
After torpedoing his career, a young, lonely calligrapher gets sent to a remote island community where he befriends the local townsfolk and a precocious child. Its quiet lovely and I think you’ll kind of a lot.
And it looks like someone has put the entire series, with English subtitles, up on YouTube:

I’ll admit that this does sound kind a joke suggestion, but I’m serious, after a hard day, sit down, suck up your pride and put an episode or two of Bluey on. It’s a warm blanket on a cold day.

I don’t know where the adorably precocious children in this screenshot are purported to come from. Every kid I’ve ever met who questions me about my gender has been an argumentative little shit that wants to make a point out of not believing me.

Acceleration, temperature, body configuration (positioning), pain, balance and hunger are all related to touch in one way or another.
Time, however, is legit. Along with emotion. Maybe you could call the 6th sense cognition?

More extracts from that same podcast:
In each case, right up until the moment I received evidence to the contrary, all this misinformation, these supposed facts, felt true to me. I had believed them for decades and I had accepted them in part because they seemed to confirm all sorts of other ideas and opinions floating around in my mind. Plus they would have been great ways to illustrate complicated concepts, if not for the pesky fact that they were, in fact, not facts.
That’s one of the reasons why common misconceptions and false beliefs like these spread from conversation to conversation and survive from generation to generation and become anecdotal currency in our marketplace of ideas. They confirm our assumptions and validate our opinions and, thus, they raise few skeptical alarms. They make sense and they help us make sense of other things.

A short list of things you didn’t realize were false, stolen from the most recent episode of the You Are Not So Smart podcast:
- “The original 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds lead to a mass panic.” – It did not. However, rumors of a panic spread via newspaper op-eds about how it was a bad idea to get your news on any other medium besides newspapers. Citation: slate.com/…/orson-welles-war-of-the-worlds-panic-…
- “You can boil a frog in a pot by gradually raising the temperature of the water.” – This doesn’t work; frogs just jump out when they get uncomfortable. Citation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog
- “Lemmings march off cliffs to their deaths because they blindly follow one another.” – They don’t. Citation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming#Misconceptions
- “…but I saw it in a Disney documentary!” – Nope. Turns out the filmmakers paid local kids to capture a bunch of lemmings, spin them around to make them dizzy, then manually threw them off cliffs and filmed it. Citation: hyperallergic.com/…/white-wilderness-disney-natur…

You were directionally evolved by monsters who resented artists’ ability to create value through pure expression. Mimicking the conjuring of that value was at once a parlor trick, then a means to undercut the livelihood of anyone not willing to explicitly and finitely explain the art they created (thus giving it metric to be measured by and value-assigned).
The wax ring and plumbers putty are set. Keep the caulk dry for 36 hours and try to not touch it or it could crack.

- Comment on "I Took Every American Airlines “Flight” That’s Actually a Bus" 4 months ago:
As wacky as this seems, this makes a ton of sense the more that I think about it, specifically for smaller regional airports that are less than a 2-hr drive from a larger airport.
If your origin or destination is anywhere aside from a major city, there’s a lot of value in starting your trip at a closer regional airport. You get the small-airport TSA treatment, which is always faster than major city airports. The terminal itself is going to be considerably better-appointed than virtually any bus terminal (commerce, staffing, accessibility, etc). No need to travel between a bus and airport terminal if it’s all in the same building. Ticketing works along-side existing systems, as well as baggage-handling. And a bus requires a hell of a lot less fuel than a jet, making it a more eco-friendly option as well.
People better at modeling than me could probably build a graph of time and feature benefits for air and bus travel, which I’d imagine would show bang-for-buck on buses being superior (despite their speed and moderate prestige) for trips or travel-legs less than 150 miles or so. Any destination or hop further than that would probably make more sense for a plane.

Ed was also facing serious controversy in recent years – at the time of his death, he was still under investigation for allegedly trying to solicit sex from multiple minors.

- Comment on Chiwetel Ejiofor & Cristin Milioti Eyed To Star In ‘The Backrooms’ At A24 5 months ago:
A prodigy of a filmmaker and VFX artist barely out of high school, Parsons shot his YouTube following into the stratosphere with the viral success of his mysterious short, “The Backrooms (Found Footage).” It’s the first in a series of found-footage horror videos which have garnered many, many millions of views online and will now be adapted for the big screen by A24, Atomic Monster, Chernin Entertainment and 21 Laps.
Parsons will direct from a script by Roberto Patino. Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen and Dan Levine will produce for 21 Laps, along with James Wan and Michael Clear for Atomic Monster, and Patino. Alayna Glasthal is overseeing for Atomic Monster, with Judson Scott exec producing for the company alongside White.
So it’s actually being directed by Kane Parsons, the person who made the original shorts. I’m very glad to hear this. And written by Roberto Patino who wrote several season 2 episodes of Westworld.
This all bodes very well.

The recipe for success here is clear.
Keep finding promising young filmmakers making innovative work (Fruitvale Station) then hamstring them with franchise films for a decade. If they continue to be successful, only then give them funding to make more original work.
