... the Soul Nibbles Back

If one Googles "Movies Eat the Soul", one finds that it pops up on at least page 2 of the results, which is some kind of improvement, mostly due to my obsessive editing. In celebration, the Virg reviews a movie from this decade, Contagion, and even adds a rip-snortin' update to his Young Man's Guide to the Austen Movies pages slinking down the right side of the blog. I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Pride & Prejudice.

9-11

As much as I would like to rant and rave, I can't imagine doing it any better than this.  "As Mayor Bloomberg’s office has patiently explained, there’s “not enough room” at the official Ground Zero commemoration to accommodate any firemen. “Which is kind of weird,” wrote the Canadian blogger Kathy Shaidle, “since 343 of them managed to fit into the exact same space ten years ago....Upon arrival at the foot of the towers, two firemen were hit by falling bodies. “There is no other way to put it,” one of their colleagues explained. “They exploded.”


All else has been sanitized for your emotional protection.

I hope someday we can justify ourselves to this guy.
