Daily Dose of Dust
Jozef Imrich, name worthy of Kafka, has his finger on the pulse of any irony of interest and shares his findings to keep you in-the-know with the savviest trend setters and infomaniacs.
''I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.''

What blogs can give American culture - what it desparately needs - is a reminder of the importance of informed public debate... Do you go to bars to talk politics? Are you part of a reading group?
Accurate or not, some biased dragons don't always tell the whole story, or even the most important part. Where do you find the most family friendly Movie Reviews?
Tracking Trends Great & Small: At the Movies Review: One star for the return of the odd SBS plastic
I'll give it ... one star. Why? Because the ABC has unwisely decided the no-frills format of SBS's The Movie Show was in no need of an overhaul. Another environmental 'truth' is born...
Oh man, to describe ABC @ the Movies as no-frills would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe the show as a piece of recycling performance by an expiry date couple would be to run the risk of a discourse that would cause strange hole in the Antipodian ozone. To describe it as an exercise in showing the dragon world how much the ABC management is out of touch with their audience would be too obvious. At the Movies is not going to be watched as usual by the MEdia Dragon family until some real characters are recruited from places such as NOVA radio stations of the 21st century world.
First it was the children current affairs program. Now our ABC is making us watch movie reviews @ SBS.
