		<description><![CDATA[I watched the documentary film Until the Night Takes Us and was disappointed. I really think it fails on every level. Neither a true &#8220;history&#8221; of black metal (Norwegian or otherwise) nor a revealing portrait of the genre&#8217;s main innovators (Fenriz of Darkthrone and Varg Vikernes of Burzum), the film never even raises the questions it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received an email from a fellow named Igor. I assumed it was your garden variety, botnet-generated spam. It did, however, include a link to a Youtube video and, feeling secure that the Russians or Estonians or Ukrainians or whoever hadn&#8217;t jacked Youtube (yet!), I clicked on it. This is what I saw: If you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a &#8220;thought ronin&#8221; for going on a year now. In the same way that the lone gunslinger is a staple of the Western, ronin (&#8220;masterless samurai&#8221;) have been staple figures, and frequently protagonists, in samurai films from the very outset of the genre &#8211; an early epic of which was in fact entitled [...]]]></description>

I thought it would have been so much better if they had discovered that the All-mother, Eywa, was actually an evil AI and the Na&#8217;vi people were really her slaves or her batteries, like in the Matrix, and that the &#8220;attack&#8221; by the &#8220;sky people&#8221; was actually [...]]]></description>

This tendency reaches the stage of decadence, however, when said artist produces, either actually or metaphorically, said wounds himself.]]></description>

Apparently, Picasso was so taken with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I may be late to the party, but I always have a good time. See, I final caught Heath Ledger&#8217;s swan song in The Dark Knight and, like many people, his performance as the Joker really got under my skin. Weird, damaged, and menacingly off-kilter, Ledger&#8217;s Joker embodies everything that Western rationalism apparently opposes and [...]]]></description>
