It was an inspiring observation. The electronic screen is intruding in all human activities; that of performing arts, friendships, relationships especially family relations. The more we are conscious of this intrusion of technology, the better this globe for inhabitancy. Thanks for the article. I could read at this corner of the world, thanks to the devil of technology!!

I am beginning to believe that Kathi Wolfe is the new Peter DeVries. Her brilliant humor surpasses anyone of her generation because it has CONTENT, FORM, and BEAUTY and from now on, my favorite color is corduroy.

I concur with everything that the author said in her story. I saw Graham Greene in those two plays in September and he was awesome!

Graham Greene is the most under-appreciated actor I have ever met. Those of us who have been his long time fans have watched his excellence in his craft get little recognition or few greatly admired alocades. As for those of us who recognized his immense talent in Dances with Wolves, we have had nothing but wonderful preformances time and time again. He has been worth every ounce of praise we have given him.

Freaks
I am part of the proverbial choir Andrea Kapsaski is preaching to in her recent article, Living in Los Angeles, I am surrounded by and bombarded with this region's collective consensus of what beauty is and it saddens me. Besides the stereotypes of peroxide blondes with big boobs, no butts, pouty lips and bones protruding from skin, there is the insidious overtone that if a woman doesn't have a similar look to a mass produced Barbie doll, a twisted plastic surgeon's version of Huxley's Gamma-Delta-Epsilon, she has no worth. Individuality, unique imperfections, character lines... these are not embraced by American culture. If only there would come a day when women are taken for who they are and not how they look, when skin color is no longer a divider, when people who don't fit societies "normal" aesthetic are made to feel part of the herd and not outside of it, and intelligent compassionate thought is cherished and praised over shallow physicality. Ah, a beautiful freak can dream!

Miles David Moore is probably the most intelligent film critic in our country. I am amazed at the overlapping concepts and arcs of meaning he can bridge from film to film, within one article.AND still adhere to theme. The articles show acute knowledge of art and a consummate literary skill. Moore's reviews and the New Yorker reviews are the only ones I'll bother with. And this current review I will reread with pleasure, just for the masterful turning of its language.
