'The Running' Man and the Funny Thing About 'Woke' Movies.
The Joke About “Woke” Art Something that never fails to amuse me in the endless online outrage about so-called “woke” art is this: the movies that get tagged as “woke” are almost never showing us anything new.

Wicked for Good is a nonsensical term being marketed to our youth in a Disney film
Wicked For Good Does Not Compute In John Milton's poem Paradise Lost, Satan states, "Evil Be Thou My Good." This lets us know that good and evil are polar opposites. Whenever serial killers are discussed, the words evil and wicked are used to describe them. Why then is Disney blurring the lines with the new film Wicked For Good?

Book Review: "Scoop" by Evelyn Waugh
Yes I'm back to rereading some Evelyn Waugh. Scoop is one of those books where anyone who's read it has something nice to say about its wittiness, the way it tells the story and of course, Evelyn Waugh's amazing cast of characters. Often regarded after Brideshead as his best work, I've often read about this book in other texts by people like Christopher Hitchens who have hailed this book as a seminal text of the 20th century. Scoop, I can honestly say is a fantastic book that is a lot of fun to read. It has not only great wit and intellect, but also contains a storyline which is both immersive and one of those experiences that is practically unforgettable.

Plainclothes (2025)
Plainclothes is my kind of film. I take along my 1940s imaginary screenwriter persona, and she complains about not being able to smoke in cinemas. But I reassure her, reviews have been mostly positive, and it won an award at the Sundance Film Festival. I knew I wanted to see it from the trailer. It is a small budget, independent film, with a small cast, telling a story that could easily be overlooked or dismissed. My kind of film.

Book Review: "My Oedipus Complex and Other Stories" by Frank O'Connor
I'm going to admit it: I've never read any Frank O'Connor before and I'm not really sure what to think of him. I was kind of avoiding it because of the title - not sure I wanted to read more of this stuff after having recently encountered The Holy Sinner by Thomas Mann. Anyways, at least this book was remotely funny which is more than could be said for the Thomas Mann text I read. I wasn't really looking for a short story anthology and to be honest, I'm biding my time until Tim Curry's autobiography comes out. I'm writing this on the 9th of October 2025 and so, there's not long to wait now. Oh fine, back to Frank O'Connor.
