Comment Moderation
I want people to be able to leave comments without anyone having to “approve” them – so they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason puts all comments (including my own!) into the spam folder. I have to go in, see a comment in spam, mark it “not spam”, then “approve” it. I have checked and rechecked the WordPress settings and do not understand why it’s not letting people post comments that appear immediately. I apologize for the inconvenience.September 2010 S M T W T F S « Aug 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 -

“They are striking against power”
If I were to list my 10 favorite books there would be one science-fiction novel on that list: The Dispossessed by Ursula LeGuin. It tells the story of Shevek who is a physicist on Anarres which is a nonauthoritarian communist … Continue reading

“V” (2009) and virtue versus(?) morality ethics
The new “V” series totally rocks. In a recent episode Father Jack, Erica, and Hobbes have a prisoner – a human ex-soldier who works for the “V” and recently shot and killed a human supporter of the Fifth Column. They … Continue reading
And now something completely different – original Star Wars movies in 4 minutes
I thought this was just brilliant. It helps to know this is a remix of a rather good song “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z with Alicia Keys. Which itself incorporates an original song “Empire State of Mind” by only … Continue reading

My wife and I watched “Stargate SG-1″ religiously. Religiously?!? I sorta kinda got into “Stargate Atlantis” after a while. Now we have “Stargate Universe”. Great concept. And some friends said to check it out it’s pretty good. This weekend I … Continue reading

REVIEW – "Moon" (2009)
What does it mean to be human? More specifically what does it mean to be a person? How do we find meaning and purpose in an apparently absurd universe? It boggles my mind that critics could rave about how “Moon” … Continue reading

I almost did not go to see it. Most of the conservative blogs/websites I follow criticized harshly the movie “Avatar” directed by James Cameron. In a nutshell – that it is a silly and predictable leftist anti-American anti-capitalist rehash of … Continue reading

"V" is (not really) about Obama administration
This will be a short post. The script for “V” was written during the Bush administration. So those who think it is about the Obama administration are mistaken. That includes those who think “yeah! sock it to them!” and those … Continue reading

REVIEW – "Terminator Salvation"
In a nutshell – I thought it was much better than the mediocre or even negative reviews led me to expect. I read enjoy and respect Big Hollywood. John Nolte was not kind to “Terminator Salvation”. What a crushing and … Continue reading

REVIEW – "Star Trek"
Wow. Personally I thought it was fantastic – primarily in terms of “when you sat there watching it did you enjoy it?” Exciting. Touching at times. (Got choked up in a couple spots – I refuse to show tears in … Continue reading

American troops give early buzz on "Star Trek"
The director and cast of the forthcoming “Star Trek” movie graciously traveled to and visited with American troops serving in Kuwait. The troops were given the opportunity – in fact two opprtunities – to watch a “special premier” of the … Continue reading
