...hope that he will choose to take measures to protect the environment and reduce global warming, instead of paying lip service to the natural bounty he will leave to younger generations. And we hope he will refrain from appointing Supreme Court justices who represent the views of a small subset of conservative Americans. Not everyone who voted for George W.

Maybe “masochistic” wasn’t so far off after all. And this is the point: the things that make films like Sideways and Election so painful apply mostly to a very specific subset of viewers.

It is using the “anti-gay” label to scare Satire V into removing its shirts and stifling campus debate, all over an issue of questionable merit. John Stuart Mill had it right 135 years ago. It?...
...also a Crimson editor, to defeat Hubert H. Humphrey for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. It is widely seen as the first foray into the politics of cinéma vérité (sometimes termed “direct cinema”), a subset of the documentary genre featuring factual portrayal of the subject’s activities, with minimal interference by the director...
