This is what we call an excellent cause. You know what’s even better? The people he’s trying to help grow coffee. This matters; donate if you can.

Not because they grow coffee, but because the world needs more people like Lee Felsenstein and they should be supported.

This is your way of telling me I don’t have a monopoly on being difficult any more, isn’t it?

All that and a bag of chips. I kept marveling at the way Dick Pope captured London as hell; the early driving sequence, which is one of the few times Johnny has to be alone with himself, reminded me of Crash in the way the cold highway implies isolation.
