pigs and battleships: In a Lonely Place (d. Nicolas Ray, 1950)
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-lonely-place-d-nicolas-ray-1950.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. In a Lonely Place (d. Nicolas Ray, 1950). In a Lonely Place. Bogie’s finest hour. Nick Ray’s most personal film. And the creepiest meet-cute of the studio era? And so that neighbor, Laurel Gray, is summoned to the police station. She confirms that Dixon showed the girl out. But why did she notice this particular neighbor, the detective asks? A woman who seen it all and knows what she wants - a woman who “won’t be rushed”:. Joan Fontaine spends the entire movie wondering if her ...

pigs and battleships: 03 August 2008
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2008_08_03_archive.html
Wednesday, August 06, 2008. The Dangerous Lives of Trolls. Though this reporter wrote the godawful Cautionary Tale of the Internet Poker Addict. Story that helped ransack the internet poker boom a few years back, I highly recommend his latest investigation into web-woe in the NY Times Magazine. An opus on internet trolls. That was a classic troll. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Grades for Movies - 2011. C ) The Artist. B /B); X-Men: First Class. Grades for Movies - 2010. C ); The King's Speech. Added: Celin...

pigs and battleships: Top 10 Movies from the Past - 2010 Edition
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2011/02/top-10-movies-from-past-2010-edition.html
Friday, February 18, 2011. Top 10 Movies from the Past - 2010 Edition. Hi It’s been a long time. Thought I’d break the ice by doing something fun. And what can be more fun than a top 10 list? Especially a meaningless list like this one. The following is list of older movies I happen to have caught in 2010 for the first time. In other words, it's a meaningless list. But hey, I want to start writing again, and what better motivation than to write about the things you love? 02 The Tales of Hoffmann. Almodov...

pigs and battleships: Inauguration Speech Thoughts
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2009/01/inauguration-speech-thoughts.html
Friday, January 23, 2009. Describe the speech as workmanlike, and that's probably on the mark. President Obama's inaugural address nestles passages of startling power among prosaic, almost progrommatic declarations. As a speech, it was a bit disjointed. But as a call to arms for a new era? Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor - who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

pigs and battleships: The last debate
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2008/10/last-debate.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2008. It's really funny that right-wingers think that they are the "true" Americans, because they're almost dangerously untethered to the mainstream, by now having created an alternative culture and media that chronicles an alternate reality. And more importantly, Obama looked calm and unflappable. McCain looked like a meth fiend, bulging his eyes, and moving around in his seat like a maniac. Is it any wonder McCain got slammed again in the snap polls. Grades for Movies - 2011.

pigs and battleships: Housekeeping
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2011/02/housekeeping.html
Saturday, February 19, 2011. As you can see, I've tried to remodel the place a bit. Probably will tinker with a bit more as the color scheme is all off. Sorry, Mike and Waz, I lost the comments from the previous post. That Echo commenting system is a bit forbidding, so I ended up activating the plain old blogger system.
