History of the beta movement. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
The Beat Movement, or Beat Generation, was a literary and social movement that emerged in post-World War II America, centered in the late 1940s and flourishing through the 1950s. It was spearheaded by a group of writers who, feeling alienated by the conformity, materialism, and restrictive cultural norms of mainstream American society, sought to redefine what it meant to be an individual in a conformist age. These writers developed a voice and style that resonated with a generation disillusioned by war and in search of authenticity, spirituality, and freedom. The movement’s influence eventually stretched beyond literature to shape music, art, and American counterculture.

Wolves
"Wolves" just isn't good! Stars George Clooney (Michael Clayton) and Brad Pitt star in a ridiculous silly movie about a cleaner, or fixer, if you will. What makes "Wolves" so bad is not as much as the weak story, but the stupid banter between Pitt and Clooney.

Who Eased Minds Best?
There are many things about being a kid that one never forgets. For example, I will never forget being 11 years old in the spring of 2001 and sitting in the passenger seat of my aunt’s black Nissan, eating my medium-sized cup of French Vanilla ice cream mixed with gummy bears. We were parked in front of a now long-gone Baskin-Robbins shop almost hidden inside a shopping center near Desert Inn and Sandhill, not far from the Boulder Station Hotel & Casino in the southeast corner of Las Vegas. The CD playing on the car radio was 1972’s Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits. Even 15 years later, I remember the powerful and dramatic crash that hit the la-la-lie chorus of “The Boxer.” I also recall setting my teenage romantic angst to the psychedelic sound and melody of “The Sound of Silence.” Finally, I still remember a wonderful kind of fear flowing down my spine while hearing the dramatic “Wall of Sound” force of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. It was a kind of power only matched by Art Garfunkel belting those infamous high notes in the song’s crescendo.
