Parallel lines

From the department of odd coincidences (is there any other kind?) -- I read this post from Patterson Hood on the Drive-By Truckers website today:

I'll...mention a few simple pleasures that made this year special.

"Man On Wire" (movie) - An incredible film that pushed all my buttons. Maybe it's my fear of heights, my obsession with skyscrapers, my fascination with the crazy artistic temperament and a criminal disposition but this one had it all for me. Probably my favorite movie I saw all year....

Hmm.
