This is a series about the present. About our reality. It’s about how mega-corporations and states feed us information through various media, the kind we want to hear. To warn and frighten us, then to console and encourage us, reassuring that they are there for us, with the power to help and protect us….
Uh, the situation is not easy either for the film we’re discussing today or for me. How to stay objective in a review of a film from which you have great expectations, simply because it’s made based on one of your favorite books? But, what must be done, is not hard. 🙂 Let’s…

The first rule of Fight Club – you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club – you do not talk about Fight Club. … The eighth rule of Fight Club – if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight. Honestly, I’m…
As time marches on, I am increasingly convinced that people harbor unrealistic expectations when it comes to books in the field of what I’ve dubbed ‘populogy’ (a term I’ve coined for “popular psychology”… maybe I should trademark it?).
