Television:

My Non-Network Bills: Maher and Moyers for reminding me what's at once great and contemptible about these 50 States; a great HD documentary on Discovery Channel called 'Planet Earth' to remind me what's at stake; and the consistency of 'Austin City Limits' to take me away from it all.

Books:

THE INDIVISIBLE REMAINDER, Slovak Slavoj Zizek's schizo-reading of German Idealist Schelling (literally Hegel's roomie!); BAMBI VS. GODZILLA, Mamet's latest self-righteous thesis; CATCHING THE BIG FISH, more Lynchian commodification (happy to contribute); and the periodical PORTFOLIO, Conde Naste's shameless love letter to Neo-Plutocracy (digital version preferred)

A full appreciation of Elia Kazan's THE ARRANGEMENT, the schizophrenic godfather of mid-life crisis pictures, demands the viewer to go slightly mad along the way. You feel a rambunctious Kazan rolling...
