My
contribution here is outside the mainstream of plot summaries and
production teams. I get into those things when it makes sense, but for
the most part I figure you can get that anywhere on the Internet or off
the magazine rack at your grocery store checkout line.
What moves me to write are the bigger
contexts into which movies and music and television fit. The specific
struggle of a meaningful character, changed by the process we go through
with him here. When you hear "I've Got You Babe" sung by Sony & Cher,
what is the "all" that comes down on you to make that experience?
I dunno about you, but I can
certainly share what it is to me. So I do.
Leave the high-brow stuff to someone
else. Nothing goes on my website because simply it's been labeled a
classic — by any source. To me, Dallas is one of the best story
lines of all time, and As Good as it Gets seeks to advance one of
the most reprehensible messages I can imagine among mainstream
interpersonal dynamics.
Talk radio is my favorite genre, and
I partake of it quite a bit. On that, let me say that Dr. Joy Browne is
far superior to Dr. Laura Schlessinger when it comes to fundamentals and
education. Dr. Laura, on the other hand, is a better public servant via
the radio.
Did I mention controversy
as piece of this area in my website?
Come on! analysis can be fun.
And if this place was like everywhere else, why spend your time here?
That said, you also have my promise that there's nothing gratuitous
here.
Now on to our Feature Presentations.
