Oppenheimer and
a Necessary Truth

It's a great film. And as such, it continues to make me think long after the credits rolled about Oppenheimer, this immensely complex mind and also just an ordinary man with wants and needs.
Patrick Walsh

The Sabattier Effect
The Photography of Jon Rendell

Theatre in the Windy City
Another Visit to Chicago's Bustling Theatre Scene.

Participatory Fascism
MichaelBettencourt | Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.comRather than George Orwell's dystopian vision of a boot stamping on a human face, we should heed Aldous Huxley's caution. The real concern lies in an overripe, relentless American culture. 
Michael Bettencourt

The Good Ol' WGA
Arthur Danin Adler  Scene4 MagazineThey're back. Almost. The movies and series. The WGA took the Producers behind the shed and kicked their derrières. They got what they wanted, a bigger slice of the swollen pie.
Arthur Danin Adler

Friendly Follies
Claudine Jones | Scene4 MagazineSuddenly Ms Thing comes out of her house, boiling down the
sidewalk towards me. I'm trapped. She's up by the sidewalk,
I'm down the driveway.

Hank Williams at 100
Les Marcott | Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.com

Les Marcott

The Persistence of Memory
Gregory Luce | Scene4 MagazineIt was the summer of 1964, so I would have been 9 or 10. At the height of that season, the midafternoon was too hot for even a heat-inured Texan boy to play outside.
Gregory Luce

Patrick Walsh | Scene4 MagazineIt's a great film. And as such, it continues to make me think long after the credits rolled about Oppenheimer, this immensely complex mind and also just an ordinary man with wants and needs.

Shakespeare's Sonnet #130

It is the greatest of what have come to be known as Shakespeare's "dark lady" sonnets. Because we know almost nothing about the bard's personal life imaginations have run wild.

David Alpaugh

The Universe Is Good, But…     Altenir Silva  
It was then that I realized, if I hadn't lost control of my mind, I was walking in a parallel universe. Would it be real? I didn't know!
