something sinful this way comes

talking of Labors of Love…

Has anybody said it better?

Couldn’t our “news” channels give us some background, interviews, etc., about these key developents? It is almost as if the “news” corporations are trying to keep us away from real news by giving us fluff and narrow shouting matches. It is almost as if they think it is better if the public of the world’s most powerful country were not very well informed about US policy, labor protest movements abroad, and the dynamics of politics in US allies…

a very nice presentation of aesthetic and technical material, awakening demons I first encountered about 50 years ago…

what a gem, and what I nearly missed

Kate Nepveu’s re-read commentary is almost complete, almost two years after she began it. Me, I first read LOTR in 1955, and I've been through it several times since then (though I tend to skip over what seem to me the boring bits). Time spent on this site is, I think, much better invested than time spent on watching the films. All those orcs… and as somebody said…

very convincing, and magnificently photographed
