The Feminists by Parley J Cooper - an infinity plus review (Pinnacle, 188 pages, paperback, $0.95; 1971.) I should stress right at the outset that this paperback original was published in 1971. Why a review in 2003 of a relic from sf's hoary past? Well, I think the reason is to be found in the front-cover blurbage: The Feminists ...They rule the world, and top dog is a bitch! Yes: The Feminists is clearly what sf publishers are constantly telling us is "a forgotten classic" -- a cutting-edge dystopian work to rank alongside Nineteen Eighty-four, a dire-warning if-this-goes-on tale about a horrific future in which the weaker sex have usurped the laws of Nature and taken over the reins of political power. Tremble in your locker-rooms, oh heedless males. The future is distant 1992, and everything's gone to hell in a handbasket since the female coup (often for reasons that are not immediately apparent: for example, I cannot understand why a drop in industrial production to virtually zero should have caused devastating global pollution). Fortunately.

About the Blog & the Man behind it | 28 Dates Later Hiya, my name's Willard Foxton, and welcome to 28 Dates Later. This is me, looking vaguely serious, because I'm a journalist (I write for the Daily Telegraph & make films for the BBC & Channel 4) and normally I investigate things. You can usually find me on twitter @willardfoxton The reason the blog is called 28 Dates Later is because, on my first ever online date the woman I was meeting bit me so hard she broke the skin, in the restaurant. The idea of the blog is to explore the strange world of online dating. The objective - to go on 28 online dates, off 28 different dating sites. All the dates on the blog know I am writing a dating blog (with the exception of the 1st story) before they agree to going on a date; I put a link on all my dating profiles. If I do find my true love, I'm more than happy to leave the project unfinished.
Why Are Romantic Comedies So Bad? - Christopher Orr Columbia Pictures/Everett Collection The romantic comedy has fallen on tough times. After a decade of essentially printing money, the genre abruptly ran out of box-office steam in 2012. As the producer Lynda Obst, a rom-com doyenne (Sleepless in Seattle, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), told New York magazine’s Vulture blog in December, “It is the hardest time of my 30 years in the business.” In a departure from Februaries gone by, the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day this year were devoid of a single helping of romantic froth featuring Drew Barrymore or Kate Hudson or any of the multitude of Jennifers. No 50 First Dates. But this line of inquiry misses the point. A few years ago, A. This is certainly true, but it in turn begs the question of why today’s genuine stars (with all due respect to Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey) no longer bother to find the time for romantic comedy. No, there’s more at work here than the vagaries of stars or studios.
It's Not Too Late to Save the Rom-Com From Itself Do you have any recommendations? I have a soft spot for French movies. Please name some of these??? Interested! The Girl on the Bridge: gorgeous modern black and white film that uses knife-throwing as a metaphor for sex and trust in a relationship. L'auberge espagnole: this is sort of a romcom? Romantics Anonymous: I LOVE this movie so much. The Heartbreaker (L'arnacoeur): this is the most Hollywood of the romcoms I've seen. Other ones not on streaming: Jeux d'enfants (super wacky with an Inception-esque ending), Amélie (but I think most people have seen this one already), and Jules et Jim (an old Nouvelle Vague film that is as much about friendship as it is romance) Whew! Other ones not on streaming: Jeux d'enfants (super wacky with an Inception-esque ending), Amélie (but I think most people have seen this one already), and Jules et Jim (an old Nouvelle Vague film that is as much about friendship as it is romance).
The Wachowskis explain how Cloud Atlas unplugs people from the Matrix | Film | Interview For most of their shared writing/directing/producing career, siblings Andy and Lana Wachowski have steered clear of media attention; when they wrote, produced, and directed the groundbreaking 1999 film The Matrix, they had a no-press clause expressly written into their contract. And they’ve rarely spoken in public about their other films: 1996’s innovative lesbian neo-noir Bound, the 2003 Matrix followers The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, and 2008’s Speed Racer. They’ve broken form by engaging the media over their latest film, Cloud Atlas, a nearly three-hour adaptation of David Mitchell’s 2004 novel, which they scripted and directed with Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer. The Wachowskis have always been ambitious innovators, but Cloud Atlas is on another scale entirely. The A.V. Andy Wachowski: We’re not fond of doing press even now. Lana Wachowski: [Laughs.] AVC: Has your experience with the press for Cloud Atlas been pretty much what you wanted to avoid in the past?
Chris Colfer's Religion and Political Views | The Hollowverse Chris Colfer was born and raised in Clovis, California. Colfer grew up in a conservative Christian family –two things which he appears not to be. He comes from Irish stock, so one could assume he was raised Catholic, but that is purely speculation. Regardless of denomination, however, we do know they were religious enough to send him to “Jesus camp” as a youngster. Colfer doesn’t talk about religion much, so it’s tough to say exactly where he stands now. I drop things on my foot and scream “Jesus.” In the more credibly-sourced quote department, he showed his willingness to joke about religion, if nothing else. The higher the hair the closer to God. As far as I can tell, Colfer does not appear to be a religious young man. Whatever split Colfer had with the religion of his childhood, he made a more dramatic shift away from its politics. After Barack Obama announced his support for the legalization of gay marriage in 2012, Colfer said he was happy the president finally came around.
Songs of World War 1 The recordings of some of these songs were made either during or soon after World War I I'll make a man of you (music hall recruitment song) The Army and the Navy need attention, The outlook isn't healthy you'll admit, But I've got a perfect dream of a new recruiting scheme, Which I think is absolutely it. If only other girls would do as I do I believe that we could manage it alone, For I turn all suitors from me but the sailor and the Tommy, I've an army and a navy of my own. On Sunday I walk out with a Soldier, On Monday I'm taken by a Tar, On Tuesday I'm out with a baby Boy Scout, On Wednesday a Hussar; On Thursday a gang oot wi' a Scottie, On Friday, the Captain of the crew; But on Saturday I'm willing, if you'll only take the shilling, To make a man of any one of you. I teach the tenderfoot to face the powder, That gives an added lustre to my skin, And I show the raw recruit how to give a chaste salute, So when I'm presenting arms he's falling in. On Sunday I walk out with a Bo'sun.
