Watched: Queen of Versailles, Chile












Just so, so so interesting. How do you make a broke-ish 20-something feel pity for a filthy rich time share entrepreneur, his slightly ditzy yet earthy wife and their unfettered horde of children and animals? Catch him at the height of his game and then document the fallout of the 2008 housing market crash. Not since Citizen Kane have I found extreme wealth to seem so claustrophobic and horrifying.

On another note, I leave on Saturday for Chile. I'll be teaching there for two semesters. I will probably start updating this again. More to come!
