The Death of Roger Ebert

by Jim Kopetz

I remember it well. We'd wake up early on Saturday morning and watch various cartoons, whether it be T.M.N.T or Looney Toons or Tom and fucking Jerry, but when 11:30am rolled around, it was time for Siskel and Ebert at the Movies. It was Roger Ebert who put me on a quest to see Pulp Fiction. To see Jurassic Park. Etc, Etc, Etc...

Why I Love Robert De Niro.

Robert De Niro may have been the butt of many jokes for the past decade, but the actor reminds us what makes him such a talented artist. His humanity.

Attention Parents! You May Be Destroying Your Child.

by Jim Kopetz

A recent article in The Atlantic opines on the nature of the parent's/parents' role in the academic growth of their children, or rather how they affect it in a negligent/false-positive way. I, as you dear reader should predict, thought they did not go far enough.

With the Mayan Long Count ending in a week, we must all examine our lives. Our time is  melting, shifting and shrinking with every passing second. Let us not waste it.

UPDATED: The Horror, The Horror: A Tragedy in Newton, CT

by Jim Kopetz

18 20 dead children. Nothing evokes the final words of Colonel Kurtz in Conrad's Heart of Darkness than the atrocity committed on this day in Newtown, Connecticut*.

Power Ball vs. Power Balls

First a quick shout out  to the lucky winners of Power Ball. You statistically defied and beat the odds in a monetary game, and won...congrats! Hope your monetary gain sparks a humanitarian cause. Call it the socialistic side of me, that is, however, where my heart takes me. But I will save my political and humanitarian wishes for another post. Here and now, I'd like to focus on another kind of win, so to speak, and surely akin to my humanitarian views!
