Finally watched Still: A Michael J. Fox movie and my eyes welled up several times. He is my hero.
When Matt and I saw Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at the Public Theater in 2010, Michael J. Fox was walking out of the restroom as I was walking in, and I was starstruck. And then it turned out he was sitting at the other end of our row at the show. When the lights came up at the end, he was gone.
I wrote a blog post about it back then.

Interesting piece by Mark Harris.
I was remembering that at the end of 1999, Time Magazine named not just a Person of the Century (Einstein) but also a person for each century of the 2nd millennium.
(these are quite Anglo/American-centric in the second half of the millennium)
Short articles on each person are findable here: https://content.time.com/time/magazine/0,9263,7601991231,00.html
Was just thinking about fiction books that portray not just the future, but also the future of *that* future. The two that come to mind are Cloud Atlas and The Three-Body Problem.
Time and history are never finished, they just keep going and going and going…
I think they're being a little too harsh on the movie. I thought the sex scenes were pretty good but maybe I've just been conditioned to expect less.
