Well he isn't exactly in control but that doesn't mean there is an organized cabal behind him.

Having read Brave New World several times and a bunch of Aldous Huxley (he's one of my favorite authors) Brave New World gets the shallow consumer culture that has its freedom removed, but the leaders at the top are very savvy manipulators and extremely intelligent people. That is certainly not the case we have now. …

Both sides of the aisle have been saying that about every president since time immemorial, granted Trump is the more image than human, but 1984 lacks the post-modern aspect of that. Besides Trump doesn't have a team working things from behind, he simply has warring factions of lackeys. Its a bit different.

Now we're talking!

I do recall that the libraries were open, people just didn't go to them….wait…..what that Brave New World?

I would prefer Shannon in the Montag role. Michael Shannon as a radicalized dissident is very appealing to me.

1984 is really not a good analogy for the Trump era. The surveillance goes back decades but the direct metaphor of a t.v. that listens to you and records everything you say has its beginnings in Bush and comes to full fruition under Obama. A president I mostly like. Be as self critical in your evaluations please.

At first i thought it was based off the same material but the Devils was based off of The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley

I have seen a nude seen of Kate Micucci, she's fantastic both with and without clothing.

I think I am the only person on earth who liked that movie.

This is a wonderful story. Cheered me right up. Thank you.

That's a good point. I also think leaving the very expensive city when you don't have a job and crashing at your friend's place is a smart way to regroup if you're using it to regroup and not avoid your own shit. WHich you're right, she was using it to avoid her own shit.

Yeah well maturity is a journey not a destination.

DOn't worry, Twin Peaks will be here soon enough to say To Fuck with the ordinary and day to day.

I am shocked, I thought he was around 32. Jesus christ, how much virgin blood is he bathing in.

I regret missing that movie in theaters last year. It is high on my list to see when I get some down time.

I like this show a lot but it often feels like its moments of brilliance are in spite of its creators and the creators are trying to convey the opposite of what the scene is really doing.

The most important lesson other writers need to learn from David Foster Wallace is don't try to write like David Foster Wallace, you can't do it.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I wasn't offend or anything, I was just wondering if it was a concious decision by the showmakers as a kind of fuck you to their trolls or if that's just the babies they had available for filming.

Agree that I would have liked to have more of an ensemble with my ensemble show.
