3. The tree that falls in the forest when nobody’s around to hear it
Does it make a sound? The world may never know. And that’s why this tree is a timeless classic.
2. “The Tree of Life”
It’s a nonsensical jumble of CGI dinosaurs, philosophical musings, and Sean Penn staring off into the distance, but it also features beautiful shots of sunlight through the trees. Like, a lot of them. And that’s good enough for me.
1. The many trees smoked during the making of Snoop Lion’s “Reincarnated”
It’s no secret that Snoop’s always worked in a weedy haze. Now “Reincarnated” from a lowly canine to a majestic prowler of the savannah, he’s embraced his inner Rasta and released an album of surprisingly enjoyable reggae jams with a mid-puff self-portrait on the cover. I don’t want to know what the studio smells like.
