He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself." - H.L. Mencken"Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck." - Immanuel Kant"Human history begins with man's act of disobedience which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason." - Erich Fromm"This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves." - Robert G.

"Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them." - Pauline Kael"The head of the Film Liaison Office makes no secret of his goals: flattering the US Army, winning support for its actions on the battlefield, and encouraging more soldiers to sign up. In short: pure propaganda." - History Channel's Hollywood and the Pentagon I do Love films and consider them modern storytelling, as ancients did with folktales around campfires, but now with visuals provided by a screen of light. Today in America it is all about money, this is capitalism. Few movies make it through the Market-Researched, Corporate-Machine these days with soul or originality, but some try. In the end, it is all propaganda, and often more than we know... The plastic, superficial, greed-oriented world that is film, television (And more and more America), is a "beast which cannot be fed."And, with that said...Some of my favorite films: Bladerunner, 2001: A Space Odyssey , DUNE, Pink Floyd's The Wall, KOYAANISQATSI (Qatsi Trilogy), Magnolia, Brazil, The Abyss, The Fifth Element, Children of Men, Jacob's Ladder, AKIRA, ALIENS, Altered States, Matrix, Fight Club, Gattaca, Easy Rider, Godfather I-III, Goodfellas, Scarface, The Wicker Man(1973), The Man Who Would Be King, Steppenwolf, 13th Warrior, 300, K-PAX, The Lost Boys, Heavy Metal, Wizards, The Elephant Man, Natural Born Killers, Ghost in the Shell, Equilibrium, Dances With Wolves, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, Waking Life, 12 Monkeys, Donnie Darko, The Prestige, The Illusionist, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I Heart the Huckabees, PAPRIKA, Science of Sleep, City of Lost Children, Legend, Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, MirrorMask, Pan's Labyrinth, The Fountain, Secret of NIMH, Manhunter, Soylent Green, The Omega Man, The Island, Aeon Flux, Minority Report, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, What Dreams May Come, Last of the Mohicans, Where the Buffalo Roam, Wall Street, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Naked, BLOW, Stargate, Videodrome, Taxi Driver, American Psycho, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Dr. Strangelove, Existence, Punch Drunk Love, Sneakers, Willow, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Howl's Moving Castle, Edward Scissorhands, Contact, Scanner Darkly, Eyes Wide Shut, Vanilla Sky, Element of Crime, Crash, They Live, Back to the Future I-III, Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy, Yellow Submarine, Disney's Alice in Wonderland, and many more...DOCUMENTARIES (Click to watch!):

"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." - William Colby , former Director of the CIA "You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." - Philip Graham, publisher of the Washington Post , regarding availability & prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories."I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"TV is the opiate of the masses , I tend to just watch mostly films (which is like the coca of the masses), and a lot of documentaries. I do enjoy Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Science Channel, Comedy Central and Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. A few of my favorite shows over the years have included:MST3K, SNL, Flying Circus, Kids in the Hall, Black Adder, Penn & Teller's Bullshit , South Park, Family Guy, The Smurfs , He-Man , "V" Mini Series , Alien Nation: The Series , Jim Henson's STORYTELLER, BBC: Blue Planet , Deadwood , Dexter, Weeds, House, Colbert Report, The Daily Show..."One of television’s great contributions is that it brought murder back into the home, where it belongs." - Alfred Hitchcock"I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?" - Federico Fellini"The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominate political mythology." - Michael Parenti
