Sortes Musica

The Romans had the Sortes Virgilianae, a form of bibliomancy by which fortunes were told by randomly choosing a passage from Virgil’s Aeneid.

Modern man has the Sortes Musica. Set your mp3 player to random, think of a question, then interpret the next song until it fits your preconcieved notion of the immediate future.

How I Feel Today

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is in limbo. Damn you Activision, for postponing the most promising video game of the holiday season and screwing up my own promising coverage. Damn you. Damn you. Damn you.

The number one grossing movie of all time is still Titanic. As of this moment, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is number 100.

The Dark Knight will boot Snow White off the Top 100 in a matter of days. I think that is a pleasing juxtaposition.

Dark White?

Just a Dog Chasing Cars

I saw it today. It was amazing. It exceeded my, frankly, incredibly high expectations. I can’t think of a single thing that is wrong with it. I dare not say more, except that you should see it in Imax. That is all.
