Dear Mom, A score-odd years ago, you forbade me from reading Baby-Sitters Club books. Well…mostly. What you technically said was, I wasn’t allowed to own Baby-Sitters Club books.

Peter Jackson doesn’t care about his audience. He’s having fun. He made a six-hour documentary about The Beatles, and he wishes it could be 18 hours. He’s having such an obvious blast he doesn’t have to worry if anyone else will think it’s the least bit entertaining.  That’s exciting. It’s infectious, and it means he
