Eat your Fiber!

I have been regular lately.

There are two things that I wanted to write about today, and neither of them are me complaining. First off, Heidi and I watched Life Aquatic last night. It was an excellent movie and I especially liked two things (where's my fucking Ark?), the Bowie remakes played throughout the movie, and the ridiculousness of the action scenes. A good example of this is when Steve flips out and starts shooting at the Pirates who have taken over his boat. Bullets everywhere but the only two people are hurt: the intern, and the pirate who matchets him. This helps to emphasize the importance of the dialog while giving the view an amusing side show. Well done.

Second off, I am almost done reading Hocus Pocus and I am continuously surprised about how viciously the wealthy are describe in it. In the world of Eugene Debs Hartke the rich have sold all the property to foreign companies, then bought stock in those companies. This allows the wealthy to stay rich without having to be responsible for anything. The rich are a different species, they are no longer American, they do not care about Americans, they are detached. An example of this in the real world could be the growing number of gated communities (the idea behind these is to lock undesirables out so you no longer have to see them... for safety's sake). Anyways, I have to write a paper on outsourcing for my class and I think I might make a juxtaposition between how Sony runs the Athena prison in Hocus Pocus and how American multinational companies run their businesses in other countries. At the very least I may make a reference, just to sound intellegent.
