Trayvon Martin: What The Hell, One Has to Ask Oneself
There's something truly disturbing being revealed by this case, and that's this: if you're black in this country, you have to justify why you have a right not to be murdered. Even when walking back to your own father's house on a sidewalk in a gated community.

Three By Bunuel
It shouldn't be shocking that Bunuel is one of my biggest influences. Here are a few favorites.
Simon of the Desert (1965)...which is not only strangely short but incredibly funny. And very much like Gilbert Hernandez.
Susana (1951)
"L'Age D'Or" (1930)

Invaders from Mars (1953, William Cameron Menzies)
Early and awesomely creepy science fiction film.
It makes up for what it lacks in special effects (and costumes) in sheer paranoid, expressionistic flourish, and the cinematography boasts a nice, stark use of color(the color equivalent of noir) with deep contrasts, blacks, and very symb

Whitney Houston 1963-2012
Very sad. I was never a fan but still, her presence was completely unavoidable when I was much younger. The woman could sing, once upon a time, even if I never liked any song she sang. Rather than attempt any evaluation of her legacy, I will leave it to the experts.

Komen Foundation: Karen Handel Out
Not being complete morons, the Komen Foundation has forced the resignation of Karen Handel, their right-wing zealot VP who managed to destroy their reputation within 48 hours. The damage is considerable--pretty much the nightmare scenario for any nonprofit-- but that's a step in the right direction.

It's a documentary about the persecution of Wilhelm Reich by the US government. It's an avant-garde satire. It's a time capsule of a way of life, and a country, that no longer exist(though the actors in the Yugo portion of the film are largely Serbian, I was informed when I watched

Cut To Ribbons: Komen Foundation Stops Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Holy CRAP.
I was kind of being satirical when I suggested that the Komen Foundation's new pro-life agenda would also entail their stopping funding for embryonic stem cell reaearch, which is right now a vital cancer research field. And which pro-lifers are vociferously against.
But they are in fact doin… Read full post »

Say, Komen Foundation: how courageous of you to cut poor women off from breast cancer screening by cutting off your connection to Planned Parenthood.
Hey, now that you've got the gushing reptilian love of the pro-lifers, you do realize you're being inconsistent.
See. cancer research relies on stem cell
