the media empire:

cin-o-matic
cin-o-matic is the best damn movie site on the whole triple-dub. Fully customizable critic reviews, showtimes, watchlists, Netflix® integration ... all easily scannable with powerful filtering and sorting tools. As Yahoo! says: "Take the guesswork out of movie night."


Rational 
Enquirer
The Rational Enquirer is a daily newslog chronicling the folly of U.S. foreign policy, with articles taken only from wire feeds and mainstream news organizations, including FOX. (Currently on hiatus, but the Perpetual War Portfolio is updated every 5 minutes.)


dack.com
A personal web site and sporadic weblog launched in 1999. It's still the 2¢ of Dack Ragus, a guy living in Minneapolis Edina, MN who likes to golf, cocktail, and watch movies ... in that order.

And Now for the Most Alarming Thing You Ever Heard

Survey: 80 Percent of Americans Believe in Miracles

Most Americans believe that angels and demons are active in the world, and nearly 80 percent think miracles occur, according to a poll released yesterday that takes an in-depth look at Americans' religious beliefs.

There is no god. There is no higher power. No angels or demons or miracles; just science. We're all just here for a few spins around the sun, so make the most of it.

All My Guys Are Dying

Really having a shitty week here at dack.com. First Sydney Pollack died on May 26. Then William Odom on May 30, and finally Yves Saint Laurent on June 1. Getting old is really the pits. Dying even worse.

And You Thought John Paul II Dying Was Bad

New Pope

The only thing worse than a pope dying: a pope visiting the United States.

Luckily, if all you watch is Bravo, you're somewhat insulated.

I am taking up skateboarding with my 6 year-old son, and it is painful. Scrapes, bruises, twisted ankles, sore ass. But Gen X gotta represent.
