When Everything Changed
I enjoyed reading this book by Gail Collins, who's one of the New York Times columnists I read regularly. It's not so much a comprehensive scholarly history, as a collection of the stories about women's issues in the last century. They're well-told. And even if you lived through it all, you've probably forgotten even some [...]
Repulsion
I think this movie was Roman Polanski's first movie in English. I'd say it's a good one to start with if you like arty European movies and don't want to bother with subtitles. And if you don't mind movies about mental illness. The most artful aspect of the movie is the urban sounds. The beginning [...]
Bonnie’s keepsakes
In the course of cleaning out Bonnie's house, of course I threw out all kinds of stuff that would have been necessary if someone wanted to write a biography of her. Of course, if someone did want to do that they should have come and taken all the stuff off my hands, and they didn't. [...]
Roman Polanski
I know every other blogger weighed in on this a few weeks ago, but I had Wanted and Desired, the documentary about the original trial, in my Netflix watch now queue, and I wanted to see it before I pontificated. I got around to watching it last night. I was pretty sure the current difficulties [...]
Hobson’s Choice
I watched this movie last night, and enjoyed it a lot. It's about a woman who does all the work for a family with a mostly absent father and two lazy sisters. Not that I believe the fairy tale about getting capital for your business from the first person you ask and paying it off [...]
Anna Karenina reread
Anna Karenina (free Gutenberg text) is one of the books I reread fairly regularly. In this case I was inspired to reread it sooner than I would have otherwise, because of looking at the chapter about using a scythe. I had remembered reading that, but not how detailed the description of how you swing it [...]
Michael Pollan's view of cooking in the past
MIchael Pollan wrote an article in last Sunday's times which makes a number of points about "convenience" foods and current cooking shows on television. I enjoyed the article, but found myself being increasingly irritated by his overgeneralizations when he was being interview on NPR's Fresh Air yesterday. I agree with his general points: A lot [...]
More about the Gates arrest
I guess I should have expected it, but it surprises me yet again that there are so many people trying to hard to sympathize with the policeman rather than with Professor Gates. Both the comments on the news items and the conversation after band rehearsal last night reveal a remarkable portion of the population (mostly [...]
