I confess, I have not seen the film nor have I read any of the preceding.

I just wanted to comment on how, to me, the title "Good Night and Good Luck" is another point of recognition of a **Good Bye Culture**.

Something I noticed in pop culture a while back was some sort of good bye culture. I'm allways affected by that. It's like we're all perpetual saying our goodbyes to each other as the world changes and people are dying and ways of life will never be the same.

It's a specific emotion which is evoked.

"Good Night and Good Luck" sounds like a sign off in the romantic fatalistic good bye culture. The part about it being a spy movie (or, ??) evokes the current (real) intelligence community. Not the theater models, but the special ops information scientists who know more then can be said.

Maybe I'll accidently see the movie sometime? Ah, no time left..

So are you chicken just like the "LibbIes" you attack? Or should we entertain the art scenettes with our stroll through the exhibition?
Say you got em!!! Show you are a man not another right wing sissy!!!
I believe in you.

I think I understand why you're channeling Ann Coulter here, Bob... you just can't wait for Fitzmas to arrive. It's okay, just be patient and put out some milk and cookies.

I think he is just gutless.
Like most neo nutzis he runs when the challenge gets hot.
You need to see the new show Bob. It is a spit in your eye as far as right wing dogma goes. And it is not hidden in some Neo Nazi BookStore for White Men.

Come on you will have fun too Sam. A little gallery walk with someone does not advance the party line.

Do you know how much a trip to the Cities costs me in fuel these days? If it wasn't winter, I'd seriously consider biking the 20 miles round trip to work every day.
