I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.
We can escape the commonplace only by manipulating it controlling it thrusting it into our dreams or surrendering it to the free play of our subjectivity.
I really think the Patriot Act violates our Constitution. It was it is an illegal act. The Congress the Senate and the president cannot change the Constitution.
