In the six lectures of The Great Gatsby at 100, you will join Sheila Liming of Champlain College to revisit the context and culture of the Roaring ‘20s, which inspired the story of the mysterious Jay Gatsby and his disastrous pursuit of Daisy Buchanan. As you’ll discover, while Gatsby is framed as a love story, it’s also a story of the American experience, revealing the unspoken rules of wealth and class and the false promises of self-made success in a world of Old Money privilege.

A couple fresh ideas
Revisado: 04-11-25
The author covers the usual perspectives of class, class mobility, the American dream, masculinity and gender, capitalism and consumerism. I enjoyed the addition of new to me lenses from wardrobe and music. Overall a thorough yet concise presentation.

Amy Nicols (Lizzy Caplan) was an FBI agent with a dogged need to protect everyone—until that instinct caused her to mishandle a crisis, lose innocent lives, and lose her job. Now a civilian working in private security, that mistake still haunts her. One morning on the commuter train, she overhears a young couple plotting a murder. Ignoring warnings from her family and friends, Amy’s instinct to protect and serve compels her to investigate. But the further she goes, the more she finds her own life in danger.

In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans—and all movie lovers—could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining.

Best yet
Revisado: 10-01-24
Exciting believable current relevant
Appreciate the protagonists maturation
Hemingwayesque finale reminded me of the old man and the sea, after a lifetime of daily battles with nature, man vs nature, man vs human nature, then deep rest.
Love the political characters who bear striking similarities to cali gov newsome, sen difi and her husband
Clever and complex plot with ever present corporate greed and megalomania together with both military industrial complex and technological industrial complex
Thoughtful treatment of AI exploring the possibility futures of a Skynet totalitarian outcome or a benevolent augmentation for humanity
Plus satisfying doses of life loss love and revenge
Bravo

Laid back, ultra–California cool, the former cop turned PI begins each day with the Dawn Patrol, a close-knit group of surfers, best friends who not only ride waves together but have one another's backs out of the water. It's the life Boone loves, all he wants. To him, "There's no such thing as a bad day at the beach." So when one of their own is murdered - especially an icon like Kelly Kuhio, a local hero - and another surfer, a young punk from the Rockpile Crew, stands accused, the small world of Pacific Beach is rocked to its core.

Very biased and incendiary
Revisado: 09-01-24
Could have been a fascinating and balanced examination of millennia of medical science, its history, its evolution, mistakes, learnings and course corrections, culminating in a greater understanding. Instead it is a culturally biased takedown of science, esteemed institutions of higher learning, and of local government and law enforcement, which borders on conspiracy theory that all these elements conspire over centuries to perpetuate a subhuman, slave and racist ideology. It is so blinded by the injustices of centuries past that it loses credibility

Surprisingly thorough examination of the GOAT film through multiple prisms
Revisado: 08-31-24
Scholarly and mostly insightful study of FFC and Puzo, and the beautiful ambiguity of The Godfather that explores many meanings of good and evil, of family, succession, honor, duty, revenge and the American Dream
The only thing I didn’t agree with was a recurring effort to find authorial intent. I find such inquiry irrelevant in any art. The only thing that matters is how the art makes us feel what it means to the us individually as the viewer. What separates all art from great art are those multitudes of layers, of symbolism and of meaning.
