    1. I had a dream that I was at some kind of film discussion roundtable event and I was talking about Ron Howard's reputation as a middle-of-the-road, safe-pair-of-hands kind of director. Then I looked up and opposite me at the table was Ron Howard.

    I tried to redeem myself by regurgitating from this @Polygon article about thematic links in Ron Howard's films but I couldn't remember the "overlooked obsession" to which the article refers. polygon.com/2020/11/19/21573428/ron-howard-movies-themes-hillbilly-elegy

      I ended up telling him that I actually liked SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY. He ignored me. And this kind of anxiety is why I haven't yet interviewed any directors as part of my film critic work.
