That William Butler Yeats got taken in by this con . . . tells us a lot about William Butler Yeats.

The heck with movies and books! Start the kid on the basics of role-playing. When your kids are walking along (being torn away from their gadgets for the moment), say, "You're on the moon in a space suit. What does it look like?" Talk about low gravity, and how it changes movements. Or at the end of a walk, when…

Show him "Gravity," too. It's about how wonderful it is to get out of space and breathe real air and drink real water.

I've seen "He & She" on YouTube, after its recommendation by the A. V. Club.

Just curious. What was Cassidy's best role?

The voice acting was great. (Skip Hinnant was also in "The Electric Company"!) But the movie was both affectless and depressing.

Yay, John Moschitta! But I thought his best spot was on "Pinky and the Brain."

Odd that it's considered funny for an adult or bigger child to tickle a smaller child, sometimes until it can become upsetting for the younger child. It can become a form of abuse.

Give Daddy his medicine.

Technology ends many dire problems, yet human ignorance can still operate in its wake. Our own wonderful garbage collection system, operated by a few, can lead to an "out of sight, out of mind" problem. Garbage just disappears: so nothing will happen if I throw trash out the car window. There's no more polio (because…

Rudyard Kipling's _Kim_ as a premium cable series. A few episodes per season showing Kim following The Great Game, with ordinary folk, and on the road with the mystic. I'd like a lot of notable writers on the series, including some Indians. Kipling hinted at the dark side of the Imperial adventure, and I'd like it…

I wonder what millennials would say if they were asked about movie prices. I should think that's a reason a lot of people don't go to the movies.

And boxing may have contributed to his illness.

What — no comments here? I'll make quick work of that!

The Pre-Code version hasn't yet fallen into my hands, so I associate the later version with Comden and Green, and as a warm up for "Singin' in the Rain." Both "Good News" and "Singin'" center upon smart leads, one more educated than the other. Both have spoken songs. Both are period pieces.

Name = content.

Everything's bigger!

The circumstances of his coming to power are cautionary. This was the first "managed" election, waged by promotion rather than on the issues. William Henry Harrison was a war hero, and Tyler was added to ensure the anti-slavery party could get the slave states. The campaign offered good hard cider (rather than Whusky)…

One of the endless misreads which give my life such fun: "This is why legitimate publications still enjoy copy editors."

Is this by default adult? or would high school Juniors and Seniors get something out of this, in terms of moral challenges?
