I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Stanley Kubrick's birthday Stanley Kubrick was born 75 years ago today, on July 26, 1928.
His great movies and intellectual rigor are well known. The precise chess-player's logic of, say, Dr. Strangelove impresses me as much as the brutal humor. He was dead on in the logic of why such a scenario would IN FACT have to be possible, as crazy as it was laid out to be.
His last finished film got mediocre to weak reviews, and a disappointing box office- especially considering the big name stars involved. I predict, however, that Eyes Wide Shut will be regarded as a classic 20 years from now.
Also not getting proper credit yet, the Kubrick mind can be seen all through Artificial Intelligence. Spielberg may have been the one to actually end up making the movie, but it looks to me much more like the thinking of Kubrick than of Spielberg. Either way, it's brilliant and terribly underrated. Again, it will be much more highly regarded in 20 years. Hear me now, believe me later.
