...posted “RIP Holden Caulfield” on his Facebook page. But Holden will survive his creator. He’ll be just fine if he lives on, always 16, to keep offending book banners who, generation after generation, see him as a corruptor of American teenagers...
...evidence to this date, Anna seems like a curious production. Although Jodie Foster's talents have long been well established, Chow Yun Fat's popularity is questionable (he's best known for two mediocre movies in the states, The Replacement Killers and The Corruptor). This not to say that Chow Yun Fat is not a well known commodity in some circles. Aside from Sean Connery and Steve McQueen, Chow is probably the manliest man you would ever want to meet, having collaborated with director John Woo in brutal yet poetic action films like The Killer and Hard Boiled in their...
...politics, money doesn't just talk ? it gives speeches. It speaks loud, from a lush rented banquet hall, or wide, from the face in a slick campaign ad on national television.

...television daily. It hammers them like malleable gold; it takes and does not give; it bludgeons man, and voraciously relieves him of whatever sensitivity he timorously guards. Television has been described with varying enthusiasm as the great galvanizer, tranquilizer, hypnotizer, pacifier, stupefier, paralyzer, agitator, commentator, activator, adjudicator, erupter, corruptor. It provides a daily vindication of American technological genius, a daily spectacle of panoramic American social and political epiphanies, so that watching it is in part an act of self-congratulation. There is information given out in abundance. Yet consciousness of wrongs serves for moral conscience, and all social problems...
