So if you like to see David Duchovny getting laid, Californication‘s your show, I suppose. Showtime: No Limits. Why don’t they just call the show Duchovny’s Dick and get it over with?
I haven’t meticulously examined Adam Gopnik’s lengthy take on PKD yet, but when I do, I hope to offer a lengthy response. There are many things that need to be addressed here.
” all, this book paints a punishingly bleak picture.” Leave it to Janet Maslin to demonstrate all the subtlety of a 16 ton weight’s impact upon a reader’s skull. Please, Maslin, go back to film reviewing. You were good at that.
In this preposterous article, Arthur C. Brooks argues that adjusting our society for income disparity is unnecessary, because studies show that the level of happiness hasn’t changed since 1972. Obviously, Brooks is unaware that people often prevaricate when asked “How are you doing?” or “Are you happy?” The more interesting question is whether the General Social Survey accounted for this discrepancy. Are people more conformist in 2004 than they were in 1973? And, as such, are they more inclined to say that they are “very happy” when an auspicious surveyor presses them on the subject? Furthermore, by what stretch of the imagination is improving social and financial conditions for all a bad thing? Why does Brooks naively separate opportunity from income inequality? It’s not a matter of being envious, but of ensuring that more people have a chance to live legitimately happy lives. Moving cash around from the haves to the have nots so that more income can be redistributed for the benefit of a society is a start, seeing as how government is currently disinclined to do this.
UK broadband customers are going to be paying the price for the popularity of online video. Will American providers attempt something similar?
I’m with Scott. It seems patently absurd to invent bullshit genres around current events. This blog, incidentally, by way of operating presently in August 14, 2007, is a post-9/11, post-Katrina, post-Rove resignation blog. I will do my best to write with angst and importance, but I can’t promise anything.
Between this and the Hitchens review, I really want to know what fumes NYT staffers are inhaling at the new building. Seriously. (via The Gurgling Cod)
Duchovny’s dick?:) All i saw was T & A:) That said, i loved the pilot. Can’t wait for the next ep. For sure Weeds is just as sexual as this show in MHO.
I’m not pessimistic about the future of literature. What I am pessimistic about is the future of Henry Kisor.
