Scorsese by Scorsese
It bout Scorsese.

Bradbury can be hit or miss but I think Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles are pretty great.

i never finished Fahrenheit 451 but i remember liking it quite a bit, although not as much as A Clockwork Orange.

The audiobook version I listened to was fantastic, especially the bit added on at the end by Bradbury himself. Discussing how he should not be constrained by the whims of others.

Almost finished Brave New World now. Stellar stuff, cutting right at the heart of Social Constructionism.

I think I disagree with Bradbury's "the TV's gonna eat me!" philosophy too much to get into his writing. I consider him Ayn Rand for technophobes.

Maybe, but there's no denying the reality of "seashell radios."

Arrived in the post today - having a wonderful time reading Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces and The Power of Myth.

It's inspiring wonderful discussions of mythology, dreams, Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis, cultural ritual and tradition, legend, and lore.

An excerpt shared by the J.C. Foundation to FB last night:

"You can tell what's informing a society by what the tallest building is. When you approach a medieval town, the cathedral is the tallest thing in the place. When you approach an eighteenth-century town, it is the political palace that's the tallest thing in the place. And when you approach a modern city, the tallest places are the office buildings, the center of economic life."

Found this today at my local dump/recycling center. I'll probably crack it open later tonight.

As is Something Wicked This Way Comes
You're talking about the book, right? :laughing:

My biggest complaints about 451 are that the ending felt tacked on and that his wife is just too much of a cliche and has little dynamic.

Also the fact that everyone takes away that censorship is the main theme is annoying and surface level.
