Mr Brooks
I went to a late show to see this with Thomas and Robert. I was not feeling well when we got to the theater. The movie was really good. I have been spending my time on the evolution of the murder weapon–hatchet, shovel, scissors–in some way this appears to be a domestication of murder or…

2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl
This book has some really really good stuff. Unfortunately, it breaks down with Pinchbeck’s sexist explorations of his base sexual desires. All the tripped out crop circle, calendar prophecy, and other weirdness get caught up in this kind of personal moping about a failed relationship and his criticism of modern relationships–something that he knows nothing…

St. Macarius the Great

Spider Man 3
I went and saw this with Gloves and Bobblehead–I liked it a lot. Medium Popcorn with way to much butter, great seats in the middle of the theater, and fantastic cross talk. The special effects were insane, the suffering of Peter Parker was great, and the death of Hobgobblin could not have happened soon enought.…
