Michael Chabons Pulitzer Prize-winner and the Cohen bros brass balls !!


I couldn't put this book down. I thought about them during the day, I would dream about the characters at night. I think the Cohen Bro's are doing these because its just the right thing to do. I love film makers that go against the the politically correct.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay 
The tale of two boys who write comic books during the Golden Age of comic books in the 1940s. The two cousins invent a superhero named the Escapist who wages battle against a series of villains. Author Michael Chabon employs fact and fiction to make the story larger than life as his characters meet real life people such as Salvador Dali, Stan Lee, Orsen Wells, and Harry Houdini. Chabon's other novel Wonder Boys was turned into a film starring Michael Douglas. Scott Rudin is producing the film with Paramount.

Dennis Hopper the human conditioner

(Gene Ripoll) This one is a personal favorite.




A legend in life. Self destructive, maybe? I think he was an explorer that didn't limit himself to ...what others thought and yet, the need for general acceptance plagued him at the same time.
"Its the way we were born, screaming and kicking with no regrets and that's art kid! "Dennis Hopper".



My best wish is that you finally became yourself.
