Three days ago, I watched the movie, Never Let Me Go, based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. It tore at me. When it was over, I didn't know what to do. I was sure I had missed things, important things. Maybe if I watched it again I could sort it out. I didn't trust … Continue reading Never Let Me Go, the Movie
The Author Who Fell From Grace With the Mob
One of the latest Internet viral have-you-seens is the author who had a comment meltdown on a book reviewer's blog after he reviewed her book. (You can Google for it if you want.) I thought it was a fair review, even generous. Her reaction was insane, irrational, and out-of-place doesn't even begin to describe how … Continue reading The Author Who Fell From Grace With the Mob

Tron: Singularity
Tron: Legacy was dull. I paid my money, watched it in 3D, and made my way out of the theater when the credits crawled. I didn't think about it much since then, not until it came up in conversation at this week's NEW NET tech conversation. NNtc is a small gathering of folks interested in … Continue reading Tron: Singularity
Scott Pilgrim Meets StarStruck (In My Brain!)
I've been obsessed with Scott Pilgrim vs. the World since seeing it in the theater. I hadn't read the graphic novels; it was one of those background works I was aware of, but only as a shadow in my peripheral vision. I've actually been obsessed since I saw a teaser trailerwith Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Ramona Flowers delivering the … Continue reading Scott Pilgrim Meets StarStruck (In My Brain!)
