After having a disturbing number of conversations in which people informed me that their favorite director is Christopher Nolan, it occurred to me that there’s a long, long list of directors that most people aren’t, but everyone should be, familiar with.
In our polarized political climate, most major policy proposals are instantly rebuked by the other party for political gain regardless of merit or how the policy fits with the opposing party’s ideology. Think of the Republican party’s about-face on market-based healthcare reform, including the individual mandate that forms the core of Obamacare—an idea originally proposed by the conservative Heritage Foundation.
The term “March Madness” may be colloquially tied to college basketball, but heading into the last weekend of the regular season, it feels like that phrase was tailor made for college hockey, especially in the WCHA.
What’s the best way to celebrate a Grammy for rap album of the year? Drop a video about how successful you are. Obviously. Drake’s “Started From the Bottom” is one of the more ridiculous videos I’ve seen in a while—including a whole minute of it that has absolutely nothing to do with the song.
Ben Affleck’s “Argo” took home the prize for Best Picture at the Oscars on Sunday night. While I am pleased “Zero Dark Thirty,” Kathryn Bigelow’s film falsely portraying torture as central to uncovering Osama bin Laden’s hideout, went home virtually empty-handed, Affleck’s film likewise comes packed with ideological baggage. Namely, “Argo” peddles in the same old Orientalist tropes long prevalent in Hollywood: bearded, wild-eyed, raging Iranians incomprehensibly attempting to inflict harm on benevolent, good-hearted Americans. Such a Manichean portrayal does no service at a time when understanding, not demonization, is required to avoid future fiascoes in the Middle East.
Talking to my friend Marina last week, I confessed to her that just an hour before I had checked out a staggering 13 books from the library. I had rushed out after an exam to return a few and then schlep the new load back to my dorm room in a Trader Joe’s bag. They were piled up requests, some of which I had forgotten I requested, all various sizes and styles, and now they were lovingly stacked alongside some of the other books I had checked out from the library before.
It's just a show, deal with it...
Wednesday marked the would-be 46th birthday of Kurt Cobain, the indie kid that drove punk rock from the sweaty underground to the heights of MTV without sacrificing a shred of dignity. In just over five short years, he was transformed from an outsider weirdo recording under the name Fecal Matter to the messiah for an unfulfilled generation–the posthumous ideal of a tortured artist, fated for perennial evaluation and reevaluation. What more can be said for the guy that hasn’t already been rendered banal by every entitled fan or controversial critic in the last two decades?
Since the pope surprised the Catholic community by announcing his resignation last week, several even more shocking revelations about his future plans have surfaced.
The University of Wisconsin System recently released data confirming what students attending the state’s public universities already knew: The Great Recession and subsequent cuts to the UW System hurt students, and hit low-income students the hardest. In an era when Wisconsin should broaden both financial aid to students and funding to state universities to help students stay in school, the legislature has narrowed both—and not without consequences.
I’ve done it before. And I’m willing to bet you’ve done it before, too. In fact, it should be obvious by now that the vast majority of young Internet users have, at the very least, some experience in illegally consuming digital media.
A red panda at the Henry Vilas Zoo died this weekend due to health issues, according to a press release from Dane County Executive Joe Parisi.
Record of the Year: ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ by Gotye featuring Kimbra
So last week I started into my (very one-sided) discussion of this year’s Oscar field, and I spent most of that time looking at Tom Hooper’s adaptation of “Les Misérables” and little of that time talking about Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” and Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln.”
Beautiful waterways and tree-lined landscapes surround declining northern Wisconsin towns that are recently seeing fewer jobs and increased conflict.
The United States of America Committee convened Thursday seeking to relieve Wisconsin of its control over the weather, potentially ending years of meteorological irresponsibility by the alcoholic state. The committee was forced into action Tuesday when a drunken Wisconsin passed out at the weather control panel, unknowingly catapulting regional temperatures to record highs and allowing a rogue thunderstorm to cross state lines.
Ah, award season, that magical time of year when the film industry gets together to congratulate itself for how great it is while the rest of the country sits around and watches. And sometimes people sing. It’s a special time.
In 2010, Local Natives released Gorilla Manor in the United States, their debut album that, despite its energy and ingenuity, slipped through the cracks of the rising indie/post-punk/psychedelic scene. Sandwiched in among new albums from Vampire Weekend to LCD Soundsystem and released only about eight months after The Temper Trap’s Conditions, Gorilla Manor unfortunately got lost in the mix.
More than a hundred protesters gathered on the Capitol steps Saturday to voice their opposition to a proposed mine in northwest Wisconsin’s Penokee Hills, as well as a recently introduced bill they said would loosen Wisconsin’s environmental standards regarding the creation and maintenance of mines.
In a hilarious take on the traditional Christmas show, Broom Street Theater’s production of “Tales for Another Millennium” is a comedic work of art. Written as the third and final installment in the “Tales” trilogy, Brian Wild finally closes his 15-year project with the final journey of Jesus and company. Even without the context of the first two installments of the trilogy—“Tales for a Millennium” (1997) and “Tales for a New Millennium” (2002)—the show still makes plenty of sense and follows a very individual storyline.
