Waste Land

  I almost don’t know what to say about this film— one of the most touching, heartwarming, poignant, and inspirational movies I have ever seen in my life— without sounding hackneyed and/or like the Hollywood trailer for Seabiscuit or something. But somehow, this week in New York City in particular, in which we reminisced about […]

The Most Dangerous Man…

The Most Dangerous Man in America

  The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers Wow, the obstacles a person has to go overcome— just to tell the truth.

  I’m right here, thanks for asking! So! You really liked Old Boy, did you? Yeh, that was a good one, wasn’t it? And therefore, unfortunately, kind of hard to top. But don’t worry, I got a little something for you. It may not be as big a "mind-fuck," but it’s got mess loads of […]

  Oh sure, you wanna complain about the heat. (Or your job that you hate. Or that dickhead customer last night. Or your stupid, cracked-out General Manager. Or…)   Well, have I got a better idea for you! Maybe you need a little pick-me-up. A little ray of hope. A story (or two) that will […]
