		<description><![CDATA[Mary and I are addicted to Mad Men on Netflix streaming (better late than never), but getting close to the end of the 4th season. We watched &#8220;The Beautiful Girls&#8221; tonight. The mix of comedy and drama was highly entertaining, and a serious departure from the tone of the previous episode. &#8220;The Summer Man&#8221; introduced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Reconnected Table by Daniel Michel functions as a brilliant critique of easy-to-assemble IKEA furniture, and as a nerdy ode to architects and structural engineers who challenge the concept of function to serve form. I&#8217;m thinking mainly of Antonio Gaudi and Buckminster Fuller.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother and I just went to a William Gibson interview (Chicago Humanities Festival: Technology&#8217;s Tomorrow: Sci-Fi with William Gibson) at Northwestern University. Through no fault of Gibson&#8217;s it was a near disaster: the microphones didn&#8217;t work properly and the interviewer was a pretentious mess. Gibson was asked questions about his writing process (something like, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an interesting meditation on how old stuff becomes new again, erasing its original history in the process. I especially enjoy the tongue-in-cheek backhanded praise of Mr. &#8220;Imma-Let-You-Finish&#8221;: Though he may pre­sent him­self as a crass, ar­ro­gant, self-in­dul­gent, pompous, vain, ir­ri­tat­ing, clue­less, and pro­foundly daft pop star, Kanye West&#8217;s video pro­duc­tions pre­sent the cabal&#8217;s most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow. Can&#8217;t believe I made it through this whole movie. It plays as though the director was taking notes while watching cable one night, flipping back and forth between Serenity, The Fifth Element, Children of Men, and The Transporter. In my scenario, he then fed his notes into Final Draft, looked in a mirror and [...]]]></description>

If so, you no doubt appreciated the film as a gorgeous-looking and satisfyingly meditative response to Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999). The two movies involve assassins of African complexion, but their characters couldn&#8217;t be more different. [...]]]></description>
