Various assertions
Quick roundup:
1. Antioch College is now defunct. The "boot camp for the revolution" has been destroyed by declining enrollment. Good. Antioch was the intolerant neo-fascist PC-totalitarianism at its worst. Not to mention faux-bohemianism. Want a real bohemian? The Dude from the Big Lebowski. Somewhere, the Dude is smiling. The Dude abides.
2. Tony Soprano is dead. The camera cuts establish a pattern of points of view, and the black shot at the end is when we were due to see Tony's point of view again, as per the pattern. Tony is dead. Paul is dead. I am the walrus.
3. The ending reminded me of two movies -- Taxi Driver, which also had a surprise cut, and the crappy The Rules of Attraction, which drops off the page. I couldn't tell at the end of Rules if the guy crashed his motorcycle (possible) or not.
4. Speaking of the Big Lebowski -- saw it again this weekend. Man is that a great movie.
5. I was totally wrong about Cleveland. The drought continues. I'm not even sure Cleveland rocks. Never been there.
6. That's all ... gotta get to work. Have a good one.
