o amor com amor se paga

Cobb Vanth is a washed up rodeo cowboy who makes his living off of cattle and managing a small dude ranch. Missing life on the circuit, he leaves his dusty New Mexico ranch for the well trodden path of the Camino de Santiago, the Way of St. James.

For over a thousand years, the Camino de Santiago has offered travelers of all walks of life time to reflect upon its sprawling pathways over Spain, France, and Portugal. For a month’s time, Cobb will find himself walking the way of the pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela, questioning his own desires when he comes across Father Din Djarin, a Catholic priest out of El Paso who has likewise felt the call of St. James.

Together, crossing hundreds of miles along the countryside of Portugal, Cobb will be tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually as he questions who he is now and who he is meant to be.

Instead of trying to digitally reverse age actors for The Hunt for Gollum I think they should abandon the script entirely and just put Viggo Mortensen in costume and film him chasing Andy Serkis in a leotard across the scenic landscapes of Aotearoa. Give Andy Serkis a head start. Viggo will probably become Aragorn several hours into the chase. Locals can aid or hinder as they see fit.

"Creating art in a space that doesn't feel safe or you may not be welcome in, I think that creates an equally important type of art. Even though it may at times be harder because you don't have that just freedom of expression, having the courage to still go ahead and force that kind of expression in those spaces requires a bit more courage. I definitely had a lot of periods in my life where I didn't feel empowered, and I felt different and othered, as many people do. I think I happily turned that into my power and decided to become my truest self proudly."

Happy birthday, Orville Peck! (January 6, 1988)
