The good and the bad

The good: Ray is a very powerful movie. It abbreviates and simplifies a lot and begs a lot of questions, but it is a very powerful picture of Ray Charles’ musical (and business) genius, and of his descent into addiction. (Much of what it abbreviates is his recovery.)

And, continuing my dreadful luck with cars (but not nearly as bad as last time), the bad: It’s surprising what poor gas milage you get when you’re driving on a flat tire.
