But to redress this problem we need a culture more respectful of history than our own. The politicians and the press have been treating a proposed $50 million pittance for the arts in President Obama’s overall stimulus ...

Our social media tend to define our culture. But, ideally, our media should also defy our culture. Media are very effective tools for instilling impressions and ideologies. Demonstrative and illustrative, film has the capacity and power to re-enforce the status quo, or to re-inform and reform. Subliminally and overtly, film relays and relates messages... about how we see ourselves and our reality. Humans are innate social ...

Most of the stories I’ve read/watched --science fiction or not-- are published/produced by sources/names acknowledged in a particular sphere of audience. Most of the stories are… not good. An author or project doesn’t necessarily have to be any good—he/she or that ...

"You have to grow and cultivate. It's like a garden. Takes time and care." Respectfully, I disagree. Ok, to a point, she's right. but the core of her fanbase should be all over this thing already. WC has been open for 2-ish weeks. Jess announced it on her site, twitter and email. This isn't an elite secret. It isn't as if her supporters don't know. And by their absense, the ...
