“Norman Mailer and Marshall McLuhan expound on violence, alienation and the electronic envelope. The clash of two great minds. (1968)”

McLuhan is superb.

“An excellent documentary about the life and work of the Existentialist, Jean Paul Sartre.”

More of a fan of Albert Camus myself (read ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’). Apparently Jean-Paul had him pretty much destroyed by the literary scene of which he was king at the time.

“This is taken from the book. Having him read to you is something else. Enough said. Take a listen and leave comments please. Email this video to atleast one other person, its your moral duty.”

I second that. Beautiful. Politicians and businessmen should have their eyelids clamped open and be made to watch this.

I don’t support anyone or anything unless I think it is going to assist the world’s poor, hinder the world arms trade, expose liars and corrupt politicians and despots, promote peace and creative harmony among the world’s people. This post is in support of Naomi Klein’s critically acclaimed new book “The Shock Doctrine (The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism)”. Ignore the glitzy marketing, think of the information and the new generations that will gain access to it because of it -Ed.

“When I finished The Shock Doctrine, I sent it to Alfonso Cuarón because I adore his films and felt that the future he created for Children of Men was very close to the present I was seeing in disaster zones. I was hoping he would send me a quote for the book jacket and instead he pulled together this amazing team of artists — including Jonás Cuarón who directed and edited — to make The Shock Doctrine short film. It was one of those blessed projects where everything felt fated.” – Naomi Klein

One of my personal heroes. A funny, edgy, and original writer and orator. Documentary on the life of William S. Burroughs (1984).
