    What Are Your Favorite Books To Reread? / How Many Times? / Why?

    I don't think fiction has gotten more political, I think people notice it more because politics permeate our daily lives more. In the 1940s, the anti-fascist propaganda short film "Don't Be a Sucker" was released, notifying Americans of the dangers of demagoguery and fascism. In the 1930s, FDR...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I came to terms with the fact that I am numerically dyslexic long ago. Because of that, I'll never truly be able to work in the sciences, one of my passionate interests. One of the single most important pieces of advice I gave to my younger cousins when they started college not quite sure what...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've found that true of Ace as well. Sometimes, I think some stores get too big for their own good.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Lowe's, a store I used to shop at because their departmental staff actually KNEW what they were talking about, has slowly been becoming your average retail store. They hire only part-time college kids so they don't have to give them benefits, and staff the stores on a skeleton crew, even on the...

    What Are Your Favorite Books To Reread? / How Many Times? / Why?

    Fiction has always been deeply political and ideological. If you haven't noticed it, you need to consume more. Even the Lord of the Rings was heavily based on Tolkien's contemporary politics and experiences on WWI battlefields. The Orcs are portrayed in a deeply pro-British, anti-Kaiser way...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Stan Winston's Pumpkinhead. Not many movies are made based on a poem, or directed by the leading practical effects wizard in Hollywood, but that's what makes this movie so interesting. This is one of the few movies DIRECTED by Stan Winston, the visionary behind the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    No need, I know exactly how you know. I used to enjoy recreational mountain biking as a kid.

    Favorite '30s and '40s photos?

    I remember my mother regularly wearing stockings to work or dressy functions into the 1990s, and then *poof* they were suddenly gone.

    What's for Dinner?

    Had dinner with my parents at Pappadeaux. Had the rainbow trout, and it was delicious. Like candied fish.

    The ultimate bad-guys of cinema-history?

    Technically, it was Governor Tarkin (Peter Cushing) who came up with the idea of and carried through on destroying Alderaan. In fact, I would argue that Vader seemed to mildly disagree with it at first.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    I refuse to allow my work life and private life to mingle. They don't pay me to answer emails at home, so I refuse to have the work email server on it. Same with the work IM chat.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Never got around the Pet Sematary, but I might save that one for a later date anyway. Still got to Cujo and Children of the Corn, however. Cujo I have a love hate relationship with. I love the villainy of the movie, but don't much care for the characters. The mother isn't at all sympathetic...
