We infer the poster of the above appears to view it is a genuine attempt at metaphysical, motivational, meaning-of-life guff, rather than deliberate parody. Yet there is magic held within. Both comparatives, for me at

"The best thing about the film is its cinematography" The overwhelming reflection of critics, here voiced by the Ebert website. Impossible to separate the just-released film (at request of affected family) from the tragic fatal accidental shooting - as surely anyone with even a passing interest in pop-culture will know

The current American President crosses their '1st 100 days' timecheck. Unescapable screenfuls assessing his performance, as is the custom these days at such signpost, follow.

According to a survey just conducted in England by one of the world's Big Banks, the salary you need to be 'comfortable' is staggering. £213,000. That's almost double what the lower threshold of the country's Top One Percent earn (at 1.775x £120k). And, depending on what you take

"It reminds me of the time I helped plan the Moon Landings whilst producing one of David Bowie's albums and launching the Big Mac." I chuckled reading this comment the other day. One of many all along similar lines. Deriding the plausibility of a mainstream media article. Supposedly recounting the
