Notes From A Tunnel: October 2011
http://notesfromatunnel.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 8 October 2011. Somewhat less pensative times, as most of the time and energy is now transferred towards establishing an internet presence for Aquasport. So the blog is coming along nicely, of course the crux of it will be continuous flow of content. Let's see how that goes. But it's building up here. And let's hope there'll be plenty of successes, too, to report there. Posted by Levente Toth. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Communist Vampires - the website. CRAP: A Guide To Politics.

http://notesfromatunnel.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 6 December 2010. Old habits die hard. In the current flood of WikiLeaks, which more confirm our suspicions rather than susprise or shock, it is quite easy to see how regimes of yesteryear still have their tentacles in the current day reality of post-communist countries. Recent data, coming from outside the streams of WikiLeaks information, shows how surveillance techniques are used in Romania as an ordinary routine to monitor people’s interactions. Parallels with the former Soviet Union (and curr...

http://karlhessclub.blogspot.com/2014/10/bobby-shriver-for-la-county-supervisor.html
Affiliated with Los Angeles's libertarian Karl Hess Club. Friday, October 10, 2014. Bobby Shriver for L.A. County Supervisor, 3rd District. Two progressives are running for Los Angeles County Supervisor in the 3rd District - Sheila Kuehl. As a libertarian, I endorse Shriver. Both Kuehl and Shriver are longtime Santa Monica residents, as am I. So I have watched their political careers for many years. I have no illusion about Shriver being a libertarian, but he is the more libertarian choice. And you thoug...

By Thomas M. Sipos, author of Horror Film Aesthetics. And Horror Film Festivals and Awards. Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Implied Gore in Offscreen Space. A long-running debate in horror film criticism is the merits of explicit vs. implied threats. Which packs the greater emotional punch?

http://horrorfilmaesthetics.blogspot.com/2014/07/dual-use-of-wide-angle-lens-in-concrete.html
By Thomas M. Sipos, author of Horror Film Aesthetics. And Horror Film Festivals and Awards. Saturday, July 12, 2014. Dual Use of a Wide-Angle Lens in "The Concrete Captain". Wide-angle lenses expand space. If the lens's angle is wide enough, it even noticeably distorts space. Horror films have found many applications, both aesthetic and pragmatic, for wide-angle lenses. Among its uses, a wide-angle lens can. Depict the subjective POV of a person who's drugged, drunk, tired, or insane. In the above scene,...

By Thomas M. Sipos, author of Horror Film Aesthetics. And Horror Film Festivals and Awards. Monday, March 17, 2014. Poor Grooming Hinders Suspension of Disbelief. Sometimes a filmmaker can't achieve something on screen because of a low budget - but sometimes it's due to laziness. And a lack of artistic commitment. It would have been just as cheap to shoot a scene correctly, but the filmmaker - or the actor - couldn't be bothered. This cop from Edge. Above) has a full beard. Fodder. This is why low-bu...

A blog by Los Angeles area libertarians. Friday, July 4, 2008. Libertarian Democrat Eric Fine.
