It was also refreshing to have female characters who were fully human and divine. How can we wrestle with the big issues of our own age if we see the past as a shallow caricature?
By the way, my grad school team was the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Trojans.

This is what America needs. Free trade! Osaka, Japan and Vancouver, Canada sent Kansas City their best last night to #TheRecordBar. #ShonenKnife and #ThePackAD played scorching sets that removed gloom from blocks away. There are no tariffs on amp shredding music!

It’s always a treat when @gregsestero.bsky.social comes to Kansas City to present “The Room.”
I got to read part of the original script. It make me want to check my reading glasses.

Today in 2001, I was driving to my job at the Department of Defense in Kansas City when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I lost coworkers that day. This beam is from the WTC. Every year I visit it. Dear Humanity: Stop doing things that require memorials.

I was returning a video and caught Mary Harron’s dark masterpiece “American Psycho” at Screenland Armour and met co-screenwriter and actor Guinevere Turner, who also worked on “The L Word” and “The Notorious Bettie Page.”
Twenty-five years later, Christian Bale’s grin is the stuff of nightmares.

Great movies remind me of why I’m still alive. It was a treat to see the new 4K edition of Akira Kurosawa’s “Ran” at the Screenland Armour last night. The second teaming of Kurosawa and Shakespeare didn’t disappoint 40 years later. This watch was designed by the cinema master.

It was delightful to meet @jamieloftus.bsky.social after hearing her talk about her meaty book on frankfurters, “Raw Dog.” She’s also got a podcast, “16th Minute (of Fame)” and contributed to two seasons of “Robot Chicken.”
She’s a guest of Rainy Day Books and is in town for our Hot Dog Fest.
