The building looks huge from outside. Nevertheless I love that place, the collection is incredible and I think it is actually superior to the Dali museum in Figueres, Spain (I went there in 2014). There was a cool exhibit on Dali's obsession with Leonardo da Vinci when I was there.<br /><br />The MOMA is a special place and I feel lucky I got to see it (briefly) during my recent trip. Many of the most famous works of modern art in the world are housed in there. I managed to glance at most of them during a 20-minute rush before closing time.<br /><br />Loved Star Wars. Was lukewarm about it on first viewing but it got better each time I saw it.<br /><br />@Michael: Glad to hear that! The collaboration was lots of fun.<br /><br />Didn't know that factoid about TR/Woodpecker. Not entirely surprised given the character's details on explosives and our paranoid police state.PQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491626995530401441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157342843002612388.post-30058178311589733302016-01-07T00:38:36.780-06:002016-01-07T00:38:36.780-06:00Hey PQ: I was happy with the way the Pynchon colla...Hey PQ: I was happy with the way the Pynchon collaboration came out too. the OG got a ton of hits 'cuz of you.<br /><br />I read Still Life With Woodpecker in 2015 too: did you know that novel got the FBI to TR's house, when they were on the trail of the Unabomber? michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526042582094867513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157342843002612388.post-18477555658087760402016-01-06T08:25:58.131-06:002016-01-06T08:25:58.131-06:00I've been to the Dali museum in Florida, too. ...I've been to the Dali museum in Florida, too. My only gripe was that it wasn't bigger. Totally envious you've been to MOMA — I want to see it myself.<br /><br />You must like the new "Star Wars" movie more than I did.
