A luddite blog, a geeky movie

Saturday, October 1st, 2005
I read the book “Man without a country” by Vonnegut today, in about an hour. It appears to be a $32 leftist blog entry.

I saw the movie {Proof} today. I’d kinda forgotten how obsessed those right-wing academians are with ownership of ideas. It’s based on a play. I thought it might be geeky/nerdy, but it could have been written in 1863. Ditto for Vonnegut.

I sort of liked {Proof} despite its flaws, and the presence of a grand total of 10 people in the audience. It was worth going to, if only to see the trailer for Memoirs of a Geisha – note the online trailer is the same, but it *must* be seen on a big screen to be appreciated.

There, I just saved you 50 bucks.
