Video

• Dr Strangelove's 40th anniversary

  Besides being the greatest movie ever made, the timing and immediate circumstances of the release of Strangelove involved some weird Robert Anton Wilson Illuminatus synchronicities or conspiracies or something.

• Seabiscuit

  Seabiscuit was nominated for seven Oscars, and I can't say that I understand most of them.

• Night of the Hunter - 1991 remake

  In 1991 they managed to turn this into a Lifetime Movie Network flick, with every worst possible connotation.

• Howard Dean puts the fear of God into Kim Jung-Il

  If I were sure this was true, I might would consider voting for Dr Dean. The ability to intimidate our enemies rates pretty high right now as a presidential asset.

• Please Sherry Palmer, (don't?) hurt me

  Maybe it's the badass Lady Macbeth thing that makes her so desirable.

Music

• Po Girl, Rich Music

  In these days of an over-corporatized music industry, it's harder and harder to find great music. Poor music aims only to sell, good music achieves its aim to be highly listenable, but great music excells at communicating the human condition.

• Ripples in the Nanoblogosphere

  My recent rantings have rippled up and down the nanosphere and have had a far larger influence on the public debate over nanotech's future than I had ever expected. Scary. I'll take it from the top, but stay with it until the end, since there's a narrative flow with a bizarre ending.
