I read The Coast of Utopia last year and it's a total gateway drug for 1800s Russian intellectuals.

I'm cool with that. You know what else is fantastic? Homosexuality. And materialism, love me some shiny commodities.

I suppose this will have to do for now.

She does, and I buy what she says that she's trying to find an apartment.  There are a lot of people in cities who get stuck in motels (which are actually more expensive) because they don't have the savings for first and last month rent deposits.  Ex-junkies tend not to have bank accounts or good references.  (The…

V for Vendetta is another work that is very close to a defense of terrorism.

Some of the exposition in Inception worked for me, because I always enjoy professionals talking about their profession. This becomes a challenge when, as Nollvane would say, the profession doesn't so much exist. But Dileep Rao and Tom Hardy both had the feeling that they'd been in the illicit drug and forgery…

"generous soupçon"

DING DING DING we have a winner!

He'd have been better liked if he wore a nice retro outfit, maybe a blazer.

Tell me something beautiful you've seen.
