  • Mar 7 2015: I guess I won't be visiting the Dallas World Aquarium any time soon... or ever. newrepublic.com
  • Mar 10 2015: Coherence (2014): Dinner party. Comet. Parallel universes. Low budget movie cares about story, not special effects. Sci-fi at its best. B+
  • Mar 11 2015: Edge of Tomorrow (2014): D-Day meets Groundhog Day meets Alien vampire spiders. Not bad. Film 10 min, loop for 90. Clever cost reduction. B-

  • Mar 20 2015: Chillin' with Michelle Obama.
  • Mar 20 2015: 1493, by Charles Mann: Malaria, silver, sugar, maize and rubber. The globalization wrought by Columbus. Maybe too ambitious a topic. C+
