“In Conversation” Discusses Human Folly

Press Release: Triangle Television

To Climate Change And Beyond

“In Conversation” discusses the fruits of human folly.

If you think that climate change is the only big problem on the horizon then you haven’t really been listening. Dr. John Robinson is this week’s guests on “In Conversation with Noel Cheer” on Triangle/Stratos Television. Matter-of-fact, cautionary but not alarmist, John Robinson sets the facts before us.

While climate change is ‘flavour of the month’, we face a range of other potentially serious developments ranging from water and oil drying up to the melt-down of the ice-caps and the world economic order.

Werewolf: Nature’s Boy - On Terence Malik

It’s easy to think of Malick films coming in pairs. In the 1970s: Badlands and Days of Heaven. Before those, he grew up in Oklahoma and Texas as the eldest of three brothers, studied philosophy at Harvard and Oxford but quit before finishing his doctorate. Then he studied film-making and got Badlands out just before he was 30. More>>

Werewolf: Classics - Tom’s Midnight Garden (1958)

For anyone trying to write about it, Tom’s Midnight Garden poses a significant problem. The twist ending will be well known to anyone who has read the book, but first time readers would justifiably want to kill anyone who spoils the surprise, which provides one of the most satisfying and moving resolutions in children’s fiction.
