losing it at the movies: the fury (brian de palma, 1978)
Jun 15, 2019 · For me, that was The Fury. In 5001 Nights at the Movies, Kael wrote of The Fury: Brian De Palma’s visionary, science-fiction thriller is the reverse side of the coin of Spielberg’s Close Encounters. With Spielberg, what happens is so much better than you dared hope that you have to laugh; with De Palma, it’s so much worse than you feared ...
Steven Rubio's Online Life: negamco and me
Aug 24, 2020 · negamco and me. Monday, August 24, 2020. My grandson just turned 8, and he never seems to run out of things to do or to think about. Part of this comes from his parents, both of whom know a lot of different things that they love to pass along to him.

Steven Rubio's Online Life: revisiting the constant gardener
When John le Carré died last month at the age of 89, I thought to read one of his novels.

Revisiting the 9s - Steven Rubio's Online Life
Apr 4, 2024 · [This is the twenty-first in a series that will probably be VERY intermittent, if I remember to post at all. I've long known that while I have given my share of 10-out-of-10 ratings for movies over the years, in almost every case, those movies are fairly old.
Steven Rubio's Online Life: get back some more
I finished Get Back on Sunday, when the final episode turned up. It's a treasure trove for Beatles fans. I'm not sure how much it would appeal to non-fans ... it's better than the average "behind the scenes" documentary, but I'm still not a big fan of the genre (I've always thought Don't Look Back was overrated). If I were to introduce someone to The Beatles today, I'd play the music and show ...
Steven Rubio's Online Life: ok, maybe it wasn't my fault
