16 Good Movies to Watch on Netflix This November
Features By Nathan Adams on November 3, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt's November, which means the air is getting crisp, fallen leaves are crunching beneath people's feet, and we're missing all of it because we spend all of our time sitting on the couch watching Netflix. Starting to run out of things in your queue due to your couch prowess? Don't worry, you won't have to go outside or anything. New movies are being added to the service all the time, and here we have a list of good ones that have shown up recently. As always, click on the films' titles to be taken to their Netflix pages. Pick of the Month: Django Unchained (2012) Quentin Tarantino's first few movies are pretty much universally loved. Not only were they great, they were also at the forefront of a new movement in Hollywood, so they're guaranteed to be remembered for a long time coming. Around the time he put out Kill Bill things started to change, though. His movies became more about style and less about substance, and the reactions to everything he put out from that point on began to vary quite a bit. Well, for my money, Django Unchained is the best thing this already legendary director has put out since the 90s, which makes it well worth your time. Not only does this movie have plenty of that patented Tarantino style to spare (all the riffs on Spaghetti Westerns, the carefully cultivated pop song soundtrack, etc…), it also deals with heavy subject matter that comes pre-loaded with emotion, […]
In Praise of Unoriginality
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on May 6, 2014 | Be the First To CommentLast year, Steven Spielberg postulated that sometime within the next few years, a series of subsequent major flops will, in effect, dismantle the blockbuster mentality that has dominated Hollywood since Spielberg himself became a well-known director. While this doesn't look like it will occur anytime soon – certainly not in 2015 – it's not hard to imagine that the culture industry of remakes, sequels, adaptations, umpteenth reboots and general unoriginality will one day go the way of the September 2008 stock market. It's happened before. When Hollywood attempted to compete with the rise of television, studios produced an onslaught of lengthy widescreen Technicolor historical pictures, all with massive star power and even bigger budgets. But this model of putting so much money into fewer individual films proved unsustainable, and now even massive hits like Cleopatra are remembered as flops in part because the stakes were so high and their productions were so troubled. It's hard to believe, but the series of epics that Hollywood produced during the 1950s and 1960s are a blip on the radar of Hollywood's history compared to the exponential bloating of budgets and expanding of franchises now. We've been swimming in the Blockbuster Mentality since 1980 and it's only intensified since. Hollywood has dug its heels in, only to continue reproducing the same existing properties – thus limiting both the imaginations of audiences and filmmakers – in a way that's unstoppable unless a West coast economic catastrophe happens. Well, at least, that's the conventional wisdom.
19 Things We Learned from 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on March 5, 2014 | Comments (3)At the tail end of 2013, Iron Man 3 received one of the biggest bitch-slaps of the year, courtesy of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The teen novel adaptation swooped in and eclipsed the Marvel superhero's spot as the highest grossing movie of the year, at least in terms of domestic box office. While The Hunger Games: Catching Fire didn't overcome the worldwide box office of Iron Man 3, it had its own victory by besting the first installment by more than $200m worldwide. As the movie-going audience prepares for the first of two final sequels releasing later this year, they can stave off their hunger by checking out The Hunger Games: Catching Fire on DVD and Blu-ray. Included on the discs is a commentary with director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson. Lawrence had already been working on the final two films at the time of recording, so his insight goes beyond the production of this film and extends into the grand finale. Even if you're not a huge fan of these films, you can take solace in the fact that the filmmakers behind them are striving for something better and deeper than the previous box office champs in terms of young adult fiction. (Yes, I'm talking about the thank-god-it's-over Twilight films.) Now, with that dig against Stephenie Meyer and all things sparkly out of the way, on to the commentary.
The Best Blu-ray/DVDs of the Week: 'The Visitor,' '12 Years a Slave,' and 'The Grandmaster'
Features By Rob Hunter on March 4, 2014 | Comments (3)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. The Visitor John Huston and Jesus Christ (Franco Nero) are in a never-ending war with Satan, and their latest battleground is Atlanta, GA, where the soul of a child holds the key to saving the universe. Probably. Lance Henriksen, Glenn Ford, Shelley Winters, and Sam Peckinpah join in the fun as Huston struggles to stop the girl's descent into evil and tendency towards causing bodily harm. It's hardly news to say that this thirty four year old movie is a mental fingerbang that bends genres and somehow teases both brilliance and stupidity, but I'm saying it anyway. Both highly derivative and wholly original, the film cherry picks elements from The Omen, The Fury, Phantasm, and more, and then swirls them together in a psychedelic mélange of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and pure nuttiness as it tells the story of good and evil battling over a young girl's potty-mouthed soul. Drafthouse Films brings this gem to HD for the first time, and while the extras are unfortunately scarce the film alone is enough to warrant a purchase. Read my full review.

Year in Review: Keeping Up with Katniss
Best of 2013 By Samantha Wilson on December 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIf you hadn't heard, 2013 is the year that a small indie production called The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, starring little-known commercial actress Jennifer Lawrence (am I saying that right?) stormed into theaters. In truth, the massive-scale production, bolstered by a months-long marketing campaign (step into a Subway sometime for a District 12 themed sandwich, because nothing screams "we're actually starving" like footlongs), has earned over $600M worldwide to date, and is expected to reach $800M by the end of its theatrical run. This is also the year that everyone and their producer attempted to find the next Hunger Games franchise and fell completely, utterly flat. Line 'em up: The Host, Beautiful Creatures, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters and Ender's Game all tried their hand at making the jump from page to screen, but nothing achieved anything near what Catching Fire created, both in terms of financial success and creative content.
10 Movies to Watch After You've Seen the Movies of 2013
Features By Christopher Campbell on December 8, 2013 | Comments (3)This week's list of movies to watch is not inspired by a single new release, because there isn't anything big enough out this weekend to warrant such a focus. Instead, I've got a year-end feature for you inspired by the entirety of 2013 in film. I can't sum up every title released this year with only ten recommendations, but the movies I've selected are, I believe, the best representatives of the more notable titles and trends seen in the past dozen months. Most of the selections are familiar. Chances are you've seen more than a few. But obviously this edition has to involve more popular fare because they have to be influential movies to have informed so much of this year's crop, even if unintentionally. Just take it as a call to watch them again, along with whatever you haven't seen before, as a special sort of year in review of the most important movies of 2013 released before 2013.

12 Movies to Watch After You See 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'
Features By Christopher Campbell on November 23, 2013 | Comments (3)It's too bad I already recommended The Running Man this month (for post-Ender's Game viewing), because even more than the first Hunger Games movie it really fits well with the new second installment, Catching Fire. But that's okay, you can still add that to this week's bunch of movies to see. I just won't include it below. The same goes for Battle Royale, the most obvious movie to highlight for being similar to this franchise, though that one does make more sense as something to recommend after the first movie. Should Battle Royale II: Requiem take its place now that we're talking about The Hunger Games 2? I haven't seen it and hear it's really terrible and it doesn't seem to coincide plot-wise, so no. Instead I've got 12 other movies better worth your time as you wait for the first part of Mockingjay to hit theaters and continue the abruptly halted narrative of the Hunger Games story. As usual, the list will probably involve some spoilers if you haven't seen Catching Fire.
Interview: How 'Hunger Games' Fans Influenced Director Francis Lawrence
Features By Jack Giroux on November 22, 2013 | Comments (1)For a variety of reasons, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is considerably unlike its predecessor. Structurally the sequel isn't a 180-turn, but the world itself, while keeping in touch with what director Gary Ross achieved with the first film, has a different texture to it. When the girl on fire is on fire, it actually looks like fire. It's a sequel, but also a new direction for the franchise, in both small and major ways. That's what clearly piqued director Francis Lawrence's interest. Catching Fire is only Lawrence's fourth film, but he's faced considerable storytelling and technical challenges in the past, making him an obvious choice for the franchise. From his films, music videos, and television work, the director behind I Am Legend and Constantine is more than up to the challenge of adding new shades to an already established world. We discussed adding new building blocks to author Suzanne Collins's creation, along with fandom, subversive blockbusters, and more:
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Review: When There's Nothing Left to Burn You Have to Set Yourself On Fire
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on November 21, 2013 | Comments (5)It's been nearly a year since Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) captured the hearts of the people of Panem by winning the 74th Hunger Games in extremely unorthodox fashion. Where there should have only been a single victor the two illusory lovebirds stood together as champions in defiance of both expectations and President Snow (Donald Sutherland). Fearing that seeds of rebellion are breaking through the hard earth outside of the Capitol, Snow carts the two from district to district pimping their celebrity in the hopes that it will distract the people from their day to day drudgery. Instead, the trip spurs more unrest and unruliness leading Snow to make a change for the upcoming 75th Games. In direct conflict with the life of wealth and peace their previous victory had earned them, two past winners from each district, one male and one female, will once again be chosen as tributes to fight until only one remains. Katniss and Peeta are forced to continue the charade that is their love affair as they reunite with their Capitol entourage and attempt to make allies amid the roster of past champions and imminent threats. The games are still about life and death, but this time it's the heart of the rebellion that the pair are hoping to keep thumping in addition to their own. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the second film in what has quickly become one of the biggest YA franchises yet, and while it features many of the […]
Your Guide to The 10 Must See Movies of November 2013
Features By Jack Giroux on November 4, 2013 | Comments (1)This November is a diverse month. Come Thanksgiving, there are all kinds of pictures to experience with your family: a boy preparing for war; a time travel romantic comedy; James Franco antagonizing Jason Statham; and Josh Brolin bashing a few skulls in with a hammer. If only every month had that level of variety, because this November has it in spades. One glaring omission from this list is Thor: The Dark World. I predict James Franco's performance in Homefront alone will make that Sylvester Stallone-written actioner more of a must-see than Marvel's biggest clunker to date. Despite Thor: The Dark World, there are still plenty other options to go with. Here they are:
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Trailer: The Fight to Stay Alive Is On
Comic-Con By Neil Miller on July 20, 2013 | Be the First To CommentUnlike some of the earlier teases for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, this theatrical trailer seems intent on showing you some action. It opens as the first teaser did, with a lot of political talk. In the wake of the events of the first film, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has become a symbol of hope for people around the country, the spark of a coming revolution. So Donald Sutherland must get rid of her in a spectacular, not-at-all suspicious manner. The solution: have a big 75th anniversary Hunger Games with the most deadly previous winners they can find. In the middle of it all: Katniss. Will she overcome the plots against her? Will she lead her people to revolution? Will her family pay the price? Will Stanley Tucci's character ever stop going to whatever bizarro hair salon he obviously frequents? Are there more ridiculous character names in the third book than what we're going to see in this one? I'm looking at you, Cashmere, Beetee, Wiress, Enobaria, Finnick, Gloss and Johanna. Wait, not that last one. Readers of the books know the answers to these and many other important questions, but the rest of us will have to wait for the movie. For now, lets enjoy the setup for one of the most anticipated sequels of the year.
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Character Posters Reveal Quarter Quell Competitors
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on July 17, 2013 | Be the First To CommentYou didn't think that just because society had transformed into a dystopian nightmare where children are forced to murder each other for sport while the rich clap along that we would totally abandon Twitter, right? If the newly released posters for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire that call for the citizens of Panem to #celebrateyourvictors are accurate, then some form of the social networking site is alive and well in the future. The new series of one-sheets [via First Showing] depict the group of Hunger Game victors who are now forced to participate in the Quarter Quell, as if winning that last tournament wasn't bad enough. Featured are: Cashmere and Gloss of District 1 (Stephanie Leigh Schlund and Alan Ritchson), Brutus and Enobaria of District 2 (Bruno Gunn and Meta Golding), Beetee and Wiress of District 3 (Jeffrey Wright and Amanda Plummer), Finnick and Mags of District 4 (Sam Claflin and Lynn Cohen), Johanna of District 7 (Jena Malone) and of course, Katniss and Peeta of District 12 (Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson).
Katniss Everdeen Channels 'The Lion King' in New 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Poster
Movie News By Kate Erbland on May 14, 2013 | Comments (1)She just can't wait to be tribute? The newest poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire seems to be nodding quite firmly to a most unexpected influence – Disney's The Lion King. While we can't quite remember any sort of magical jagged rock in Suzanne Collins' bestselling YA book series, it certainly looks like Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is hanging out on Pride Rock, surveying all the land that belongs to her, and plotting to overthrow her mean Uncle Scar – or is that just us? At least this new poster also includes a nice cloud-based nod to Katniss' budding wings, as it looks like our very own Mockingjay just might take flight, until you realize, nope, those are just clouds. Fine then, Katniss, do it your way. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22nd. [Press Release]
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Trailer Totally Rips Off 'Battle Royale II'
Movie News By Rob Hunter on April 14, 2013 | Comments (1)The Hunger Games was the third highest grossing film of 2012 beating out gigantic (and expected) hits like the final Twilight film, the first Hobbit, the latest Bond and the Spider-Man reboot. Hurray for originality! The film, based on the novels by Suzanne Collins, followed a teenager in a dystopian future where people are saddled with ridiculous names and a government that controls people through fear, force and dietary restrictions. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) finds herself in a televised competition to the death meant to distract the masses from their real miseries, and she surprises everyone involved by winning. The new film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, picks up the story with Katniss and her friend/co-victor Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) dethroned and forced to fight again by a president (Donald Sutherland) concerned that the duo are waking the sleeping populace towards rebellion. Also, I was mostly kidding about it ripping off Battle Royale II. Check out the first trailer for Catching Fire below.
Jennifer Lawrence Embarks on Her Other Victory Tour with New 'Catching Fire' Posters
Movie News By Kate Erbland on February 25, 2013 | Comments (3)Even in the fictional world of Panem, newly-crowned Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is a victor. In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson's Peeta set out on their official "Victory Tour" after having won the 74th Annual Hunger Games in stunning fashion (back during The Hunger Games). Of course, not everything is creamy goat stew with plums (or whatever it is that Katniss noms on) and high (read: bad) fashion, because the Capitol is none too pleased with their dual wins, and things are about to go from glitz and glamour back to televised murder. Nope, this Victory Tour cannot last forever, but let's enjoy the clean clothes and tossed rose petals while we still can. Check out another brand new Victory Tour poster after the break. So modern! So clean! So…not like what much of Catching Fire is probably going to be like!
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Teaser Poster Is Basically 'The Hunger Games' Teaser Poster
Movie News By Kate Erbland on January 14, 2013 | Comments (4)Who wants to participate in gruesome, bloody, terrifying hand-to-hand combat on live national television again? No, no, we're not talking about last night's Golden Globes, we're talking about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire! Forgive us for that terrible lede, but there's not much to say about the Jennifer Lawrence-starring film as of yet, considering we're still just working with scattered stills from the sequel and a brand-new teaser poster (released today). A teaser poster that looks almost exactly like the first teaser poster for last year's The Hunger Games. At least that fire looks a bit more realistic? Sort of? Maybe? And its central mockingjay has a bit more detail? Nope, sorry, it's pretty much the same poster. Snooze. Don't believe us? Take a look at a side-by-side comparison after the break.
Movie News After Dark: Time to Get Honest About Hunger Games and Inception
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 10, 2013 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a movie news column that cares. Bring Me Your Katniss! – We begin this evening with one of a few new images from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the holiday-releasing sequel to that other movie about a girl with a bow, an arrow and a will to live. The above image is our first look at Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee. Seriously, these names…
With Native IMAX Shooting, You Too Can Live the Terror of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'!
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 26, 2012 | Comments (1)Obviously the one thing that movie-goers desperately wanted from The Hunger Games was to somehow feel closer and more involved with the child-on-child murder-for-sport that played out before their very eyes. Isn't that what entertainment is for? Luckily enough, the Hunger Games team has heard our cries (some of them muffled by the blood that is filling our lungs, thanks to a hearty jabbing from a fellow Tribute), with Peeta Mellark himself (Josh Hutcherson, if you're not hip to it) revealing which portion of the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be filmed in native IMAX. Which portion? The best kind! The one with the killing! Hutcherson told MTV (via /Film) in a new interview (which you can check out after the break) that the Francis Lawrence-directed film will feature IMAX scenes in the arena during the games, saying: "I think, all the stuff in the arena is going to be IMAX. So when you go see it in IMAX, you'll see the regular movie when we're in the Districts and in the Capitol. When you see us go up in the pod in the games, it will open up into IMAX. It will be amazing. It's very cool." Jokes about murder aside, the arena used in Catching Fire is going to be awesome (should the film stick to the original vision of the book, which is sort of a no-brainer), and to be immersed in that world via IMAX should prove to be one hell of a time. Also, huge plus […]
Francis Lawrence Must Be Doing a Good Job; Lionsgate Brings Back Director for 'Mockingjay' Films
In Development By Kate Erbland on November 1, 2012 | Comments (1)Director Francis Lawrence has yet to even wrap his first Hunger Games film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but the helmer is apparently doing a stellar job, as Lionsgate has just announced that he is booked to direct the final two Hunger Games films. Lawrence will again be joined by stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth for the third and fourth installments of the already-massive YA franchise cash cow based on Suzanne Collins' book series. The second film, Catching Fire, is currently filming in Atlanta. From a script by Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt, that film will send heroine Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) and her possible paramour Peeta Mellark (Hutcherson) straight back into a brand new Hunger Games arena, mere months after the two barely escaped their last round in the battle-to-the-death. Catching Fire arrives in theaters on November 22, 2013.

Medical appliance maker Medtronic, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, U.S.) announced that it has received a leadership award from Frost & Sullivan for its external defibrillator product line. The award stems from analysis performed during the writing of the 2003 Frost & Sullivan report titled "The Global External Defibrillator Market." "Medtronic has optimized its external defibrillator product line by leveraging products with various price, performance, and feature points that are required by the market," said Katherine Shariq, Frost & Sullivan industry analyst. To select the recipient for this award, the Frost & Sullivan analyst team tracked all end-user requirements and market dynamics within the industry. This process included interviews with suppliers and industry experts. The product lines are compared with customer base demands, and the top-ranking supplier is then presented with the award. Frost & Sullivan made its selection based upon one or more of the following criteria: introduction of new products, strategically positioned to balance the product line; ability to accommodate different market segments, or different markets within an industry by re-purposing technology; enhancement of product offerings through optimization of packaging, service, delivery, financing, or other value-added services; and strategic technology or marketing acquisitions or alliances. Medtronic's external defibrillator product line includes: The LIFEPAK(R) CR Plus automated external defibrillator (AED) -- a fully automatic, external defibrillator designed for the minimally trained rescuer and requires just two steps and no other user intervention. The LIFEPAK(R) 500 AED -- designed for first responders, such as firefighters, police officers, and others trained in CPR/AED use. The LIFEPAK(R) 12 defibrillator/monitor series -- a multi-parameter device that combines semi-automated and manual defibrillation with external pacing, 12-lead electrocardiography, capnography to monitor a patient's carbon dioxide level during exhalation, and other monitoring functions. Its platform can be upgraded, allowing customers to add new parameters as their needs change and as new features are introduced. The LIFEPAK(R) 20 defibrillator/monitor -- the latest the LIFEPAK product. Using ADAPTIV(TM) biphasic technology, the device offers both manual and AED modes for hospital and clinic settings. The system offers monitoring and therapeutic functions and is said to help hospitals meet standards of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) to have resuscitation services readily available throughout the hospital.

How long do supernova remnants last?
I'm not sure if this question directly relates to supernovae, but could you tell me how long nebulas last for? I know they are formed when a star goes supernova, but do they ever die or fade?
There are many different types of nebulae in astronomy, none of which actually have much to do with each other! But I'll answer your question specifically in regard to nebulae that come from material ejected in a supernova, which are often called "supernova remnants" (SNR). A famous example of a SNR is the Crab Nebula.
SNR do fade away and eventually become invisible. The time for this to happen is on the order of tens of thousands to a hundred thousand years. The reason that SNR eventually fade is simply that they only have a finite amount of energy input to them at their formation -- this energy comes from the material that was ejected by the central star in the supernova explosion. As this material moves away from the center and collides with gas in the region surrounding the star, it will lose some of its energy as it heats up the gas. The heated gas then releases this energy in the form of light, so eventually all the available energy will be released and the SNR will not shine any more.
We can estimate how long a SNR will shine if we measure the temperature of the gas that is being heated up by the shock wave from the central source. If we know the temperature and can estimate the amount of gas there is, we can calculate the rate at which the gas is emitting energy as well as the total amount of energy available for it to radiate; therefore, we can estimate how long it will shine for.
Another effect to keep in mind is that as the shock wave from the explosion moves farther away from the center of the SNR, it will sweep up a lot of the surrounding gas. Some of the energy of the shock wave goes into accelerating the "new" material that is being swept up, so that overall, the speed of the shock has to go down. This means that eventually, far away from the center of the SNR, the shock wave won't be moving that fast and so it won't heat up the new gas that it encounters too much, and the SNR will not be as bright.
For more discussion of the phases of expansion in a SNR, have a look at this page from Imagine the Universe.
One final complication to the above discussion that is worth pointing out is the effect that the remnant of the exploded star's core, at the center of the SNR, might have on the SNR emission as a whole. If, for example, the supernova explosion left behind a rapidly rotating, magnetized neutron star (i.e. a pulsar), the pulsar can continue to contribute energy to the SNR long after the supernova explosion occurs. Astronomers think that this process is currently going on in the Crab Nebula.

'Five Year Engagement' Keeps Adding Amazing Actors
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on April 26, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI was already pretty pumped just at the announcement that Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel were going to be working together again. Their first film collaboration Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of my favorite comedies of the last decade and the idea of them reteaming for Five Year Engagement had me at hello. But since then they've just kept making this movie sound cooler and cooler. From the very beginning Emily Blunt was cast as Segel's love interest in the film. I defy you to find someone who doesn't like them some Emily Blunt. Score one point. movie. But it didn't stop there. The wonderful people behind this film then went on to cast the funny and adorable Alison Brie to play Blunt's younger sister. After that they filled things out by adding the ridiculously charismatic Rhys Ifans and the next big thing in comedy Chris Pratt for supporting roles. Could things get any better? Well, yes, and they have.

Should You Try To Change Your Partner?
By Karen Karbo
I was fun, but I was also funny. I was snarky and smart, born to be the wisecracking best friend of the homecoming queen. And so I was. I was also the friend of Mike, the boy who had a crush on the queen. Of course, I had a mad crush on Mike. This is the sort of tragedy from which you can only recover if you stumble upon a Mike-substitute as an adult, and make a huge mess of things.
I loved CB because he reminded me of all those long lost boys, and because he loved me. He was my Mike. And for a short time, I was the queen, and not the friend.
CB seemed so familiar. On one of our early dates, we were speeding down the freeway on a warm California night, and he said he wasn't sure what I saw in him. "I'm just a working class guy who likes video games and sex," he confessed, with a long slow grin.
I thought he was being self-deprecating (a word CB would never use in a million years). I thought it was adorable. I thought that phrase "video games and sex" was edgy and rock-lyric-like. I was a complete idiot. In the six years I knew him, CB had never said anything truer. This was who he was. And I did not believe him.
It is an old lesson we women continually fail to learn: you cannot make a person something he is not. CB was disappointing in many astonishing ways. But I refused to think it mattered, and that is my own damned fault.
Let me be clear, here: I like sex, too. But I also like the Russian novelists, particularly Dostoevsky and Nabokov. I like Dorothy Parker's poetry. I like The New Yorker, especially the impossibly long articles about the weather, or growing corn, or predicting earthquakes. I like Joan Miró and Chagall and the photographs of Lee Friedlander. I could go on, but you get the point.
Many Americans shrink at the idea of discussing class, and I am no different. To this day, even having learned the difficult and inescapable lesson I learned in my marriage to CB, I am somewhat ashamed to say it: I am educated and he is not. I won't say he's an idiot, and I won't say he doesn't think. But he has no use for the life of the mind. And, worse, he's suspicious of anyone with an education. In the end, we didn't come from the same pond at all.
In the early days of our courtship and cohabitation, I was happy with CB. Only my oldest friend had doubts. Kiki and I been roommates in film school; she'd introduced to me the concept of the "greaser-poet" (being immune to the allure of the surfer with a Fender Stratocaster). I said, "I don't have to talk about literature with him. I can talk about it with you."
Kiki said that was ridiculous. She reminded me of the Tolstoy Test, a personality assessment we'd only half-jokingly devised back in college. We'd ask our dates which character they preferred in War and Peace: Pierre (passionate, impulsive outsider) or Prince Andrei (disciplined, emotionally-aloof intellectual). Their answers, we felt, would speak volumes.
I assured Kiki that CB had never read Tolstoy. She said she was sure he had no idea who Tolstoy was.
I wish I could say that in the end, this didn't matter. I told myself that we were opposites, but opposites attract, right? I was an uptown girl and he was a downtown boy. I was Hepburn–bookish and clever—and he was Tracy— a working class hunk who knew the true worth of things. Letting go of this fantasy was sadder than letting go of CB.
One difficult winter, during the second year of our three-year marriage, I found myself jonesing for biographies of Henry Tudor and his many wives. I must have read 10 of them, just to pass the time. Meanwhile, in the other room, CB watched Star Wars, which he'd seen over a dozen times. I don't know if he felt lonely, but I did.
In any tortured relationship there are more than a few last straws. Most of them are Springer-worthy acts of stalking, lying, and crockery hurling (and in that department, CB and I certainly did our part to contribute to the tradition). But what I think of as the real end—the thing from which we could never recover, even if we wanted to—occurred a few weeks before we separated. Kiki and I were going to the movies, to see Pollack.
"What's Pollack?" he asked.
Somehow, I knew he would ask that. I stared at him.
I had to see if what I suspected was true. I'd always worked to downplay what I thought of as my brainy enthusiasms, but realized at that moment that my knowledge wasn't freakishly erudite. It was basic information known to any educated person.
"I can't believe you've never heard of Jackson Pollack," I said with the most disdain I could muster.
CB grabbed the newspaper from me and studied the movie ad for a long minute. "Oh, I get it," he snorted. "He's a tortured artist, just like you."
"Was," I said. "He's dead."
Marriages can survive more catastrophes than we could ever imagine. But they cannot survive contempt. It didn't end there, of course. I didn't throw my bag over my shoulder, march out to the theater to meet my friend, and return home to find he'd packed a bag and left a note. But the damage was done.
We fought some more. I moved out, even though we were living in a house I owned. He was unhappy with this arrangement. He said he was going to try; part of his effort was subscribing to the New York Times.
I lived at Kiki's house all summer. Once, when I returned to pick up something in the basement, I passed the newspaper recycling pile. It was a towering, several foot-high pile of unread Times, still captive in their blue plastic bags. Once I was gone, CB didn't have the interest or aptitude to slog through a daily newspaper.
I realized then that I could neither change my soon-to-be ex-husband into the sort of person who would be interested in the day's news, nor co-exist with someone who wasn't. To this day, the thought of that stupendous pile still makes me sad.
My current boyfriend and I have been together for six years. He's not a greaser-poet with working-class roots, but the nerdy son of an attorney who taught himself Latin in high school, just for fun. He is from Southern California though, and surfed at Malibu as a boy. I don't know if he owned a Sting-Ray bike. But he has read War and Peace, and favors Prince Andrei. I'm a Pierre person, myself, but as my friend Kiki says, I've always been shamelessly tolerant where my boyfriends are concerned.
