The Man In The High Castle, by P.K. Dick
I watched the entire series and then read the book because I wanted to see the changes that were made and if they actually translated Dick’s work and ideas into the film. In one way they did. In another, not. … Continue reading
Eclipse, by science, and for other people, by God.
I drove out to my mom’s condo today, because for some bizarre reason, her home is about 3 yards of the line 0f totality. The line of totality is about 100 miles wide, but there is a singular line which … Continue reading
A Hitch In Time, by Christopher Hitchens
Of course everyone knows about Christopher Hitchens’ extraordinary intelligence, and it’s probably best to see him in action on Youtube. This, for example. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone take on the Catholic Church in such a fearless way, … Continue reading
One Life, by James Hawes
I wasn’t going to review this but The Times review, once again, proved that their reviewers are hacks and unqualified to review a high school musical. My biggest complaint about this movie, which will not have a wide release or … Continue reading

Troilus and Cressida, by Shakespeare
I attended a fairly famous production of this play in the summer of 1981 but I can’t find any information about it online. It offended hordes of people because the director staged it like an S&M fever dream, with Achilles … Continue reading
Rights. Immunity. By America and various other naive democracies.
There are no such things as rights. No one is born with rights. A baby doesn’t have a right to be born and an elder person doesn’t have a right to compassionate care. You don’t have the right to read, … Continue reading
Trust, a Game of Greed.
I wouldn’t normally write about something as stupid as a television show. I’m sympathetic to Elaine in Seinfeld who told Russell (the president of NBC) that he was “part of the problem.” But this show is so incredibly stupid and … Continue reading
