Movies and Films, Technology Disney to begin renting 'self-destructing' DVDs (Yahoo!)
What's to prevent them from putting all of their movies in this ridiculous format? « 11:56:34 PM »    
Movies and Films, Reference Matrix Essays
Essays about The Matrix

(How did I miss this spot of creamy goodness and lunacy? The greatest thing about The Matrix is all the hidden levels of narrative that are suggested. Whether they are really there or not. ) « 11:36:54 PM »    

Government, Politics Shocking statements from Texas Republicans (The Sacramento Bee)
Molly Ivins: "The way things got to such a sorry pass is that the R's have been running on rote, lockstep voting. No Democratic amendment gets considered on its merits, no matter how sensible it is. Shell bills get introduced, and then whole sections are amended on the floor, in a parody of legislative process."

(I've seen the future and it's in Texas. Politics in USA is supposed to be about compromise, but in Texas these days, one side decides everything. And since the general populace is generally apolitical to begin with, one side basically dictates the law. What kind of despotica world is that, because it sure ain't democratic?) « 7:07:24 PM »    

Entertainment, Racism `Matrix Reloaded' villains draw fire (MSNBC.com)
The villains in the flick are a pair of white-skinned, white-haired, red-eyed twins, and groups representing albinos say the movie unfairly stereotypes pigment-challenged individuals.

(The Man is at it again, keeping down the "pigment-challenged." This is not a white-and-black issue! ) « 6:46:34 PM »
