The New Theater

We here at DHAIP certainly do all we can to encourage the arts. However, if one is to believe all one hears, the US military were the ones who truly found the cutting edge. Abu Ghraib or Avant-Garde?

It comes in eleven parts. Here is part one. The rest are linked thereto. The digressions are many. We advise sticking with it. His observations on Casablanca and Vertigo should please any true film buff.

Curiously enough Congressman Chris Shays (R-CT) has recently provided an eerie echo to this idea, claiming the incidents at Abu Ghraib to be pornography rather than torture... a rare case of an American conservative preferring sex to violence. Not a trend, we're guessing.
