9/11 report graphic adaptation free online

Slate has The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adapatation by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon for free on its website, here. They're excerpting a chapter each day. All the earlier ones are still available—at least for now.

Flicks: Yay or Nay

Yay!!!: Das Experiment: this depressing but moving film holds lessons for recent prison abuses in Iraq (read my post on this)

Yay: In the Mood for Love: tender and moving, but it didn't blow me away, like it did a couple of my movie buff friends

Yay: 2046: the sequel of sorts to "In the Mood...," I liked this one better; edgier and with an existential sci fi story embedded in it.

YAY!!!: Me and You and Everyone We Know: read my review here
