 Ever look around and wonder if anyone is actually thinking for themselves at all? We worry a lot about cloning, yet intellectually, you sometimes wonder if we haven't already had it. While we argue about liberal vs. conservative, who questions dressing in our designer clothes, driving our SUV's and all acting like good old mainstream Americans. Round here, we all look the same. PleasantvilleA film by Gary Ross A film of great visual beauty and wicked satire starring Toby Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, Jeff Daniels, William H. Macy and even an appearance by good ol' Don Knotts. The movie takes a look at our culture of conformity, its roots and the importance of being true to yourself. It illuminates the fact that all of us have a true self deep down trying to come out, if we only let it.  The OnionSatire at its finest From out in the dells of Wisconsin comes perhaps the funniest satire newspaper of our time. The Onion mixes dark humor and irreverence with a twist of absurdity to produce a product only a man with his jaw wired shut could fail to laugh at. And their comedy-tipped arrow has an extremely broad aim, targetting corporate America, the schools, the government and everyone in between. Watch out, you could be the next one in one of their "official" polls! |
