The Unintentional Tom Wolfe
I updated my bio this morning....
and when I looked at it, I realized that I've sort of been doing what Tom Wolfe has done over the years....gone into subcultures, met people, interacted, and learned enough about them to write about them.
Only thing is, my intention wasn't Wolfeian. It just hit me that it might be while I was eating lunch. Perhaps it was something in the stroganoff.
Life is strange--you never know what landscape you're going to land on once you start living it.

Rollerball is one of those BILM movies (Before Industrial Light and Magic)-- Like Westworld and Logan's Run there was alot that was left to the imagination when it came to special effects. I think, because of that, those three films came very close to depicting events that might actually happen.
I am struck by the computer in Rollerball where all the information in the world is stored, and they lose the entire 14th century. I always argued that computers were great, but when the electricity shut off, I'd still be able to read Marx by candlelight because I had a hard copy.
And, director Norman Jewison also made Jesus Christ Superstar which I had to watch ad infinitum for my thesis and truly learned to hate.
