I was not disappointed. In the second sentence of the prologue to Moby-Duck, Donovan Hohn mentions the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which provides me the opportunity to embed a short video, "Plastic Bag," by Ramin Bahrani, one of my favorite young(ish) directors. The role of the plastic bag is voiced by Werner Herzog, one of my favorite old(ish) directors.
