No doubt you’ll be watching with the best three-alarm chili ever. And (viewing recommendation) take a look at the clip of Ben Johnson riding Roman-style – it’s great fun.
This series if off to a great start, Melanie. I really appreciate you writing this. It helps, of course, that I had watched (more than once) The Last Picture Show and, while I hadn't thought it through as you have here - that character - and many other similar masculine characters - have made an impression on me to really value all the positives of the so-called masculine traits. It probably helped that I worked almost exclusively with men for a lot of my career so I saw the many positives of masculinity often.
Thank you so much Robin. Appreciate your thoughts and agree with you on masculinity. So many positives. And like you, I’ve seen The Last Picture Show many times but hadn’t understood Sam the Lion until very recently.
I’m definitely watching The Last Picture Show again after reading your rich and thoughtful piece, Melanie.
