since I just saw a movie alone the other evening for only the second time in my life, I enjoyed this read at The Bygone Bureau.

Jonathan Lethem, in discussing his childhood obsession with Star Wars (he saw it 21 times in the theater), professes a spiritual quality to the experience. He says, “I still go to the movies alone, all the time. It’s as near as I come in my life to any reverent or worshipful or meditational practice.”

also,

…or Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (if being assaulted by “shit happening” for two and half hours counts as a movie)

hear the band talk about some influential tracks. More than for the band talking I watched it to enjoy a great collection of songs.

  good, interrobang, language

I enjoyed this piece by Anne Trubek on GOOD about the interrobang punctuation mark created in 1962.

Might we describe our current cultural zeitgeist as surprise superimposed over curiosity, mixed together with attitude? Is the interrobang a 1960s, type-based version of WTF? A certain informal, witty, knowing, WTF way of approaching the world? Many clever Facebook status updates and comments could be defined, as Wikipedia does the interrobang, as “A sentence ending with an interrobang (1) asks a question in an excited manner, (2) expresses excitement or disbelief in the form of a question, or (3) asks a rhetorical question.”

Could the interrobang be the punctuation mark for our age‽
