Methinks the author protests too much. Some of his points are valid but others are just movie wonk nonsense. It seems that he doesn't like the genre so therefore the genre is bad/dead. The modern superhero movie as a genre is relatively young and to have produced as many quality films as he ment

The ones in the exhibit talked about how the local farm commission would block their paperwork until they miss the growing season (it would be too late to plant the seeds) and would stall on giving equipment loans as well. That is on top of the additional stuff that you mentioned. (I saw the exhibi

NPR's "Tell Me More" had an interview with two men discussing it on their Thursday show. The problem is, if the funds aren't committed to the farmers before the end of August (when Congress goes into recess), the whole thing is over. The parties involved will have to start the negotiations and s

You're right Keith. I think that some kind of elite group would form that would learn to live under Colossus' electronic thumb. The situation with the black farmers reminded me of the first time since I was a kid that I cried in public. I was at a viewing at the African American Museum in Baltimor

Well said. I said recently in a post how I just couldn't drag myself to see Prince of Persia, A-Team, and a few other "blockbusters" because they're just more of the same. Instead I watched--and loved--the foreign film "The Secret in the Their Eyes". Watching that sub-titled movie, with unknown-

I think it'd be the way societies have worked for millennia: some of us would work in the shadows to rebel, many others would go along to get along. After all, like any authoritarian leader, Colossus would reward those who don't buck the system. Look at the elite in North Korea, who have lavish

Actually...that's not ENTIRELY accurate. Remember that most of these studios are owned by corporations that have little to do with entertainment. As I write this, "At The Movies" just showed a clip of a Roger Ebert review from 1987 where he goes OFF on "Leonard Part 6" because at the t

No one puts a gun to H'Wood's head and forces them to churn out such crap. If they want to do movies based on comics, they can take their time and do it right. The audience isn't going anywhere. On Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 9:38 PM, Kelwyn wrote: > > > http://news.premiere.com/blog/2010/07/comic-con-

True, Mr Worf. But I'm hoping that the Noisy Cricket exists, because it is, IMO, the perfect weapon. If you're caught after using it, just hold it up and say, "I'm supposed to have done all of that with THIS little thing? RGHT." On Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 10:13 PM, Mr. Worf wrote: > > > Mos
