At 18, Maxx has a lot of potential to grow and hone the style, perhaps focussing more on the more bizarre, character-driven vocals and less on the basic matter-of-fact flows.
Ryan Reynolds to adapt the board game Clue with Deadpool screenwriters

It was 20th Century Fox, in the board room, with the pen. Ryan Reynolds has inked a three-year first look deal between the studio and his own Maximum Effort production company, and the first film has already been revealed.
Reynolds will star in and produce an adaptation of the classic board game Clue. And before cult movie fans get too up in arms, no, this won’t be a remake of the under appreciated 1985 movie starring Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd.

from a show called Relative Values: The Cost of Art in the Northern Renaissance
August, 2017, New York City
This amazing show used cow equivalents so you could tell how much objects cost relative to one another. The objects cost from 1/12 of a cow, for pilgrim medallions, up to, I believe, 376 cows, a herd of the beasts, for the most costly item in the show. If you click the above link and then View All Exhibition Objects, you can see everything in the show.
There is an ivory carving of the Virgin and Child, and the photo at the Met web site, as well as the several I took, do not do this magnificent object justice. Even their pro photographers couldn’t capture the sensation that the Virgin and her draperies are in motion.
