Hollywood
Drops Another Late Winter Crap Bomb
Even as a big
comic book fan (BIG), I’d have to admit that the original idea
behind Ghost Rider the comic, first published in 1972, was not a very
good idea. I mean, a stunt motorcyclist sells his soul to the devil,
forcing him to serve said devil as his deal collector (and part-time
super hero). Some Hell’s Angel’s wet dream? Perhaps. The stuff classic
literature is made of? Uh, no.

Dining
for your Future: NEW LINKS Etiquette Dinner shows students…
|
|
|
A motley mix of mainly first and
second year business and life sciences students self-consciously mill
around the William Doo Auditorium. They have been told by Leanne
Pepper, Certified Etiquette & Protocol Consultant and host of the
annual New Links Etiquette dinner, to mix with everyone and abide by
the proper introductory etiquette she has just outlined. Many people
fumble, awkwardly saying their name the very moment the other does,
and forgetting to study the imaginary business card they were just
handed before putting it in their pocket.

Napping
My Life Away
|
|
|
At a particular point in the
afternoon, on a particular kind of day, there is a particular patch
of sunlight that settles upon my duvet. It is perfectly placed and
sized to accommodate my extended frame; the warmed patch of comforter
seduces me every time. Besides, if it is not occupied, the dog of the
house will claim it as hers and proceed to nap through what is
evidently an identity crisis of the feline persuasion.

Why I Could
Never Really Write a Movie, or Kevin Costner, Beautiful Bastard
|
|
|
Everybody talks about their
“great idea for a movie;” some people even harbour delusions that
their Citizen Kane-esque masterpieces
will one day be made, and deservingly recognized by the academy. I’ve
heard every friggin’ kind of crackpot movie idea in my day, and I’ve
proposed a few myself, although generally in
jest. And let it be known here that I’m not talking about documentaries;
there are a million topics to make documentaries on, and these often
get done for real. I mean feature films, that have to be written and
cast and what have you.
