I recently watched the 2009 film, Paranormal Activity. This is a haunted house horror film that employs a hyperrealist approach reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project, where the actors do their own filming using a digital video camera, the acting is virtually improvised, and the result is presented as “found footage.”
The story is simple: a [...]
My earliest childhood literary experiences involved the likes of Brothers Grimm, Alexander Afanasiev, Charles Perrault, Astrid Lindgren, Hans Christian Andersen, and, of course, Lewis Carroll. Nowadays, these books are customarily shoved to the back of the children’s section at the bookstore (if they’re stocked at all). (I checked. Many times.) They’ve been displaced by unoriginal [...]

More of . . . A Conversation About Race
A Film by Craig Bodeker
Denver: New Century Productions, 2010
I can’t praise Craig Bodeker’s path-breaking 58 minute documentary A Conversation About Race too highly. As I explained in my TOQ review, it is an excellent tool for getting white people to begin thinking about the most [...]
My wife and I just finished the first season of Friday Night Lights (the television show, not the movie). The show is a teen drama that follows the ups and downs of the fictional town of Dillon and its obsession with its football team, the Dillon Panthers. Dillon’s fictional locale is somewhere in [...]

A friend tricked me into seeing the new movie, Avatar, and sort of waited , grinning I think, for my reaction.
First, let me warm up your neurons a bit. Think Tarzan, Bladerunner, The Last Samurai, fantasy comic books, Pocahontas, made for TV movies, and especially Edmund Connelly on “Reel Bad White” movies. Think tree-huggers, New [...]

The film Avatar is a huge commercial and cultural success. In White Nationalist circles, however, the blockbuster often is labeled as anti-white. (See here, here, and here for examples.) This interpretation of the film illustrates four problems currently manifest in the White Nationalist movement:
The tendency to see only skin color [...]

Tea Party is a very informative, beautifully crafted, and often inspirational and funny documentary about a growing right-wing political movement that now enjoys more public approval than Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.
Tea Party tells the overall story of the Tea Party movement, but it is not just a bloodless recitation of facts. It also [...]
To a certain degree a book, a poem, or a movie can mean what we want them to mean. That is, in addition to the objective thing, there is our subjective reception of it. If a poem, particularly, means something to me, then I am satisfied with that meaning even if the poet had no [...]

The blockbuster film Avatar has just been released. It’s about a group of humans who wish to mine the resources of the planet Pandora. The humans are portrayed as white, industrial society imperialists and the Pandorans as pre-industrial, close to nature indigenes. One of the whites is rescued by a Pandoran woman, taken up by [...]
