Stanley Kubrick missed it all too- just like your mother Chris.
His lack of faith in the human race was fully justified..

I'm studying Robert Anton Wilson's book Prometheus Rising right now (one of several books I'm immersed in) and it's amazing. He's taught me a lot about myself with that book, how the left and right parts of the brain work. I'm even trying to teach myself to write with my left hand, like Aleister Crowley taught his students to do. It's weird how these kinds of "alternative" books land in my lap...Wilson is pro-weed/LSD (consciousness expansion), pro-cinema, pro-Jung & Burroughs & Beethoven...he's a brilliant man, and I only just found out about him 2 months ago.


Oscar, I have the exact same gripes about seeing Avatar.
Just sitting in a theatre waiting for a movie to start is enough to make me flee. All these kids jabbering away about nothing.
As Nobody said in Dead Man: "Talk much. Say nothing."
Texting is just lame.
Twittering is even lamer.
Egomaniacs use that junk, not real people. (just my opinion)
But I guess I could be accused of the same- I text on a website!
Do I have a halo? Nope.
