Dollhouse Hearts Boston
I encourage all Dollhouse supporters and friends to donate to The One Fund set up by “Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino […] to help the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston.” Donate here.
Get on it.

One of my favorite Roger Ebert quotes
“I was instructed long ago by a wise editor, “If you understand something you can explain it so that almost anyone can understand it. If you don’t, you won’t be able to understand your own explanation.” That is why 90% of academic film theory is bullshit. Jargon is the last refuge of the scoundrel. Yes. But if a work seems baffling yet remains intriguing, there may be a simple key to its mysteries. I doubt that James Joyce’s Ulysses had a big opening weekend. You start it and start it and start it, and you shore up in uncertainty and dismay. Then someone tells you, “It’s an attempt to record one day in the life of some people in Dublin, mostly focusing on Leopold Bloom. It uses or parodies many literary styles and introduces a new one, the stream of consciousness, which defines itself. Try finding somebody Irish to read the tricky bits aloud.” Voila! And now we celebrate Bloomsday, June 16.”
-Roger Ebert, reviewing Synecdoche, New York
