I wish I was able to say that I’ve been working on other projects, like the screenplay I said I’d write in April, or the follow-up to my Myst story. It’s been my firm belief that a poet’s worst enemy is happiness. Or at the very least, a lack of misery. and in this case, it’s completely true. Without a source to draw from, an object of unrequited desire or romantic bitterness, my poetic effectiveness loses potency; indeed, it becomes impotent.
Fortunately, something new has been uncovered to fill the void and become a focal point for scrutiny: The world as we know it.
Gentle readers, I want you all to watch this movie. I can’t say you’ll agree with its claims and themes; I’m not sure I even do. That is why I want to spread the word about this movie: So I can talk about it, see it from your point of view, and draw a better-rounded conclusion about what it claims.
The film itself is called Zeitgeist, and it is a documentary (in the sense that Loose Change was a documentary, anyway) that has something to say about Christianity, the 9/11 attack, and the Federal Reserve & international banks, respectively. The films claims seem rational enough, but I a withholding judgment barring further communal discussion.
Admittedly, the film is two hours long, and slow getting started for the first few minutes. But I urge you to watch at least the first half-hour. I promise you will be enticed to watch the rest.
