I think all Monday's should begin with e-mail from Leticia Aguilar and Kra Krarosaline. It's a good way for the day to begin.

I want to be immersed, and I go to each film as willing and open to the experience as possible. If I have too many reservations beforehand, I usually don't see it. I want to live the story. Movies (and a little television) is the last "story" I really have left to me.

I unfortunately don't, however, think the film will make much of a cultural/political ripple, given that Bush's approval rating is in the toilet and has been for months, even many Republicans are starting to distance themselves from him, and the movie is actually (accidentally) being released at a time when the majority of Americans will agree with it. It will be a Sin City-sized cult favorite on DVD; sadly, the Larry the Cable Guy movie will probably knock it off its #1 perch next weekend.

Fortunately, this hasn't happened to me. Yet. I live in fear of it.
It doesn't surprise me that you have issues with reading now, epecially given how much you write. I think you write more than any other writer I know.
If I do say so myself, I'm inclined to agree. Well, I can think of a couple who probably write as much. But only a couple.
