The Broad View: March 2005
http://lisarosman.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Last night, for what seems like the billionth time but just may be fourth, Yancey. Tried to get me into Deadwood. HBO’s very own Manifest Destiny drama. Typically, if he tells me I’m going to dig a show, I do, if grudgingly. The Wire. Is the classic example — and thank our lucky stars that it’s been renewed for the fourth season, praise be. But although I admire the painstaking research that goes into Deadwood. Or Eastwood’s revisionist Unforgiven. May provides ample insight into the current mindframe do...

The Broad View: June 2005
http://lisarosman.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
For My Uncle Al. My grandmother. Self-taught, she went to school only till her early teens herself but read everything under the sun and did crosswords every day of her life. She and Al got into science fiction, and that was the only real connection I ever formed with the both of them. I’d read their old paperbacks when I’d go over to Grammie’s, and eventually they got me my own subscription to Isaac Asimov Magazine. But I can write this, for better or for worse. So here’s to you, Big Al. Gentle, so ...

Strange What Love Does: Two Movies
http://strangewhatlovedoes.blogspot.com/2009/02/two-movies.html
Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Friday, February 6, 2009. Last week, after what I think was exactly a calendar year of not going to the Film Forum. For no other reason than sheer laziness (well, also not living in NYC for five months of 2008), I saw two films at the Film Forum. They were Silent Light. Directed by Carlos Reygadas, and Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Directed by Chantal Akerman. It was my first time seeing both movies. But it too has a deep lov...

Mannen utan åsikter: juni 2014
http://mannenutanasikter.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
En plats för anspråkslösa tankar kring litteratur, kultur i allmänhet och möjligtvis en smula politik. Onsdag 25 juni 2014. Coetzees 'The Childhood of Jesus' och falska spår: en fri reflektion. För mig finns här stora frågor: Vad är ett samhälle? Vad är romanens, litteraturens uppgift? Men detta är bara en aspekt i en vindlande, krävande text som åtminstone gör vad jag personligen ser som en av litteraturens uppgifter: att plantera frågor i läsaren som följer med en också när sista sidan blivit läst....

Oh My God Berlin: Heil, Y'all!
http://omg-berlin.blogspot.com/2013/11/heil-yall.html
Oh My God Berlin. Thursday, November 21, 2013. Rob arrived late to the job interview. He’d planned his day to get there on time, but things had kept piling up between him and the time of his appointment. By the time he’d found the address, narrowly avoiding a light pole as he Google-Mapped and biked at the same time, he was breathless. 8220;Hi, I’m here to see.um, Jean. From the production department. Is this, uh, do I have the right place? Rob stared down a beanbag, wondering whether it would hold him.

Oh My God Berlin. Friday, July 26, 2013. And Remember Never to Smile. I n Germany, Wal-Mart stopped requiring sales clerks to smile at customers — a practice that some male shoppers interpreted as flirting — and scrapped the morning Wal-Mart chant by staff members. 8220;People found these things strange; Germans just don’t behave that way,” said Hans-Martin Poschmann, the secretary of the Verdi union, which represents 5,000 Wal-Mart employees here.

Oh My God Berlin: 5 Thoughts on Moving to LA
http://omg-berlin.blogspot.com/2014/04/5-thoughts-on-moving-to-la.html
Oh My God Berlin. Friday, April 11, 2014. 5 Thoughts on Moving to LA. People in LA communicate more through windshields than they do in person. This is terrifying. My own relationship to driving has evolved considerably since arriving but IS THAT REALLY A GOOD THING? Yesterday, I came across a social media job application that asked, "Are you a huge fan of Lloyd Alquists's Epic Rap Battles of History? And "Do you listen to PewDiePie on your way to work? Are you really living in LA now? Thank you for taki...

Oh My God Berlin. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. This Play-Doh Applicator Needs More Flair. Play-Doh is deleting comments from their Facebook page after parents expressed outrage over a new penis-shaped toy. Saw your sketch for the applicator tube the other day. Looks stark.needs more flair. Don't think kids will be able to hold it well, either. Can you make a ridge that circles up the tube for easy grippin'? It does look a bit plain, huh? I'll make that ridge for ya! Nope, can't say I do, Bob! Sorry, tha...
