``Eating Chocolate Is Healthy, Doctors Say''

``Flavonoids are thought to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, the number one killer in many industrialized countries, by reducing platelet aggregation -- when blood platelets combine into a sticky mass and form clots.

a small bar of dark chocolate contains as many flavonoids as six apples

You have to have a appropriately twisted mindset to understand the humor here.
Stuff that looks like a very professional advertisement, serious piece of journalism, etc.,
but turns out to be tongue-in-cheek humor.
Some people call this sort of parody
``culture-jamming'' or ``hand-to-brand combat''.

clearly Spielberg's best, most thoughtful picture since Schindler's List

Philosophically, the movie will intrigue
both Christians and non-Christians
for its presentation of the free will vs. determinism debate
... whose resolution (not coincidentally, I think)
depends on
the identical arguments used to argue
both sides of the current capital punishment controversy.
...
As a Christian,
I conclude that it is not, shall we say,
sympathetic to Christianity
...

...
will both entertain and provoke the viewer to
think about metaphysical, philosophical, and political issues

important to our culture and to our faith.

The "likely never reach" feeling is understandable, statism seems to
be in engrained part of how we act and think. I associate this with
the movie. As in our time line, but more so in the Porco Rosso time
line, statism is equivalent to humanity. Perhaps it was a loss of
love for the state, a direct violation of this fundamental equation,
that caused the cosmic aberration that created the fork in time (and
one side of the fork including a pig who flies cool variations of

Here is a list giving inflation-adjusted movie grosses (whatever that
means):
http://www.erank.com/movies/box_office_inflated.htm
The top listings:
1. Gone with the Wind (1939)
2. Star Wars (1977)
3. The Sound of Music (1965)
4. E.T. (1982)
5. Titanic (1997)
Of course adjusting for inflation is only one of several ways to reshuffle
the list. You could look at worldwide sales instead of domestic.
You could include video rentals. You could divide by the total base
population. I would say that among the different fair ways to count it,
both Gone with the Wind and Star Wars dominate, and other movies don't.

But according to Richard Chalfen,

...
family snapshots are anything but representative of real life.
...
In Western cultures, "Kodak moments" tend to fall into obvious groupings:
happy social events shared with kin;
proud new possessions like cars, houses, and boats;
athletic events and teams; and
moments of public acknowledgment like graduations or award ceremonies.
Snapshooters avoid recording commonplace activities like sleeping,
watching TV, or cleaning the house.
Given the amount of time spent earning a living,
surprisingly few photos are taken of people at work.
Nor do people document
dramatic experiences like divorce, illness, death, and poverty.
It adds up to a highly selective visual trail,
yet people still see their photo albums as their lives in sum.

In the end, we are left recognizing only one thing: that there is no such thing as an objective truth. It is a grail to be sought after, but which will never be found, only approximated. Kurosawa's most brilliant move in Rashomon is never to reveal what really happened.
