Wisdom
True love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for a nice MLT–a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe. [Read More]
The Terminal (repeat viewing)
A weighty reminder of the passage of time is finding that I need not try to comment on a movie I watched on DVD tonight since I’ve got archival commentary from six-and-a-half-years ago. The pre-Wordpress/originally-LiveJournal entry from June 19, 2004 offered up my [Read More]
National Geographic: Inside North Korea
I give my highest recommendation to Lisa Ling’s 2006 National Geographic documentary Inside North Korea. (Okay, it’s not the best documentary ever made, so it gets 9/10). I’ve come away from it thinking that, if we can spend one or two trillion dollars in [Read More]

Religulous – 8/10 Perhaps not the best documentary ever, but it articulates my thoughts on religion in a way my mind is attuned to. Most of my friends would not agree with the points Bill Maher makes here, and I do not wish to highlight our differences now, so [Read More]
Last Chance Toastie
I need to be let go from my stateside job while in London for someone’s wedding and have a chance encounter with an “Emma Thompson”, and then just stay there. Pets are welcome to join. Since Dustin Hoffman is around 70, let’s just say we’ll [Read More]
Some movies
I’ve seen a few movies lately. I keep forgetting to put my ratings for them somewhere. I say that as if that’s something I feel I need to do. I don’t know. 20 years ago, I envisioned there’d be somewhere I’d be able to record my ratings for [Read More]
