High Fidelity
I have never read this before, or seen the 2000 movie adaptation. Not a horrible read, featuring perhaps a slightly too believable narrative voice.

Censorship
The reality that the United States is not as free as one think. Art of all forms are often subjected to censorship. I have never heard of a piece of art assult anyone physically. If art offends thee, turn away. Simple means to protect your fluff for brains.

Back to the Future III
The trilogy began with Marty saving Doc from a bullet & poetically ends with the same mission. This time in 1885. Outlaws and cowboy hats adorn the screen as our hero’s work out how to return to the future alive. This time Doc finds love.

Mona Lisa
We pushed through crowds and finally saw her. The famous enigmatic smile shone from a glass enclosure. “She is so tiny,” I said.

Feedback Request - first draft
If everything happens for a reason, then what the hell could be the reason for this? I ask myself staring back at eight fully armed cops decked out in full tactical gear as they yelled at me, guns drawn, to both not move and raise my hands to the air.

Jaws
Who knows what lurks just below the surface of the water, eagerly waiting to eat you? The tension arising from the suspense is as tangible as the flimsy bathing costume that barely clings to your skin. Will it ever again be safe to go into the water for a swim?

Amos 'n' Andy 'n' Us 'n' Them
This TV adaptation ran from 1951 to 1953 with African-American actors. It was taken off the air, genius comedy and talent notwithstanding, because it inappropriately presented black "folks'" shenanigans as white entertainment. Brilliant, yes, but it was that perpetuation of the us-and-them motif in media that inclusion needed to end.
