http://bigtableblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/blarney-in-guard.html
Philosophers understand things until they happen. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Blarney in "The Guard". The new Irish film, The Guard. Just as Boyle presents himself to the American , The Guard.

I get passionate about deep literary and philosophical meanings. After seeing the new movie Get Low. So, as my friends and family, especially my wife, would no doubt be quick to say: Watch out! The Industry View of Get Low.

Philosophers understand things until they happen. Thursday, September 24, 2009. Features an epigraph extolling the combination of high and low brow cultures to the exclusion of middle brow. I tend to agree. I'll happily leave the middle brow to, for example, the Average Man. S proud tv-holic obsession with quality programming. Why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke? Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? I'll leave my argument for higher cultural highs for another post. About the "elephant in t...

Philosophers understand things until they happen. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. The Lowdown on Get Low, Part 2. I Profess: Christianity for Sinners and Secularists. Presents Christian morality as a mature reflection on innocence, which is a vision of happiness a non-believing literary academic like me can embrace.
