I like to think I’m still the robust wee tug boat.

But my time will come in turn… will I recognise it? Will I know when I too have become like the paper boat?

Who knows…?

A ★★★★½ review of Frailty (2001) Last night I put on What Josiah Saw, and the moment the premise revealed itself — a whacked-out father, visited by an angel, told to do things — I immediately thought of Frailty and realized I hadn't seen it in a long while. So I shut Josiah down and decided to revisit it. For the second night in a row, I got a freebie: my owned copy on Prime had been upgraded to 4K in 2025. Sometimes the algorithm works in your favor. I remember being blown away by Frailty when it came out in the early 2000s. Bill Paxton

Rewatched Frailty (2002) in 4K last night. Paxton's masterpiece holds up. Dad was right. 🪓
