:: Affinity Deep in thought yet caught in action I come to think about divinity and such infinities as to which my mind is inclined. Irrefutable, irresponsible, unencumbered and endangered; clumsy words, yet words by which a deity stands defined. And yet it goes, infinity, and goes and goes down roads and pines that stretch up high and low. Hidden in the subatomic, supercosmic, on...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution :: Video Game :: 2011 :: Eidos Interactive :: After being burned by the sexed-up sequel to Deus Ex, one of the greatest games in history, I was skeptical about the much-hyped prequel—but this game really hooked me; quite subversively, in that before anything else I found myself actually caring about my character, Adam Jensen, and found it easy to relate to him...

:: “I want to rip my skin off and explode with pure fiery energy but all I can do is grunt and gesticulate.” Anger. Everyone’s got it. There’s nothing wrong with it, as long as it’s directed towards the right things. It’s a powerful and destructive force, but still a part of you. I yell at electronics.

Encounters at the End of the World Film :: 2007 :: Herzog :: Werner Herzog takes us on an expedition to the barrens of a frozen Antarctica. Here, the inhabitants seem to be sort of lost but found. They have spent their years traveling the globe and they all happened to end up in—or were strangely attracted to—the same place: McMurdo. The people Herzog interviewed all seem to have...

Me and You and Everyone We Know Film :: 2005 :: July :: This is a warm, quirky masterpiece. Miranda July writes, directs, and stars in this comedy about connecting with people in the strangest ways possible. It starts off with an unlucky shoe salesman who is going through a painful divorce (for him). He packs his things, moving into a one-bedroom apartment with his two kids, and to make sure...
