Never got the Snake Eyes love although I know it's a cult classic. Haven't seen 8MM, and City of Angels irritates me more every time I see it, although his acting in it is good. I first saw Ghost Rider with a high fever and a NyQuil buzz and it should be watched in that manner.

Plus, I love your stuff and have since I don't know when. It was sometime post 9/11 that I first heard of you, and I think you are an excellent writer.

Keep up the good word/work

I think the reference is to The Unbearable Lightness Of Being, the 1988 film.

When Democrats are in power, the greedy corporations know that they can get away with anything because they can pay off the Democrats to do nothing while railing against them. When Republicans are in power, greedy corporations are afraid that the Republicans will hold them to account and thus rein in their greed. Do I have that about right, Ms. Psaki?
