Luther Martin

“Hamilton got his face on the ten-spot and his surname attached to a hit Broadway musical cum Disney dreckfest, though the more cerebral of the Woke have woken to the fact that Hamilton is the most audacious act of theatrical fraud since Inherit the Wind” https://t.co/F3QWJOFgoP

Bill Kauffman on Kentucky

"Today's most consistent and articulate congressional critics of U.S. military intervention are Kentuckians: Tom Massie and Rand Paul. That they are regarded by their party’s leadership as eccentric renegades tells you all you need to know about the GOP." https://t.co/CD5p05kQdN

Bill Kauffman on Home

Bill Kauffman: It’s striking how seldom the word "home" is used in American political discourse. While "home" touches something in ordinary Americans, it means nothing to those who stride purposefully through corridors of power. https://t.co/Y9kwPCyZcJ

The University Bookman: Copperheads, Community, and Those We Have Lost

Copperhead opens in various theaters in the San Francisco Bay Area tomorrow - we are being encouraged to watch it opening weekend to give the release a push. It's a busy weekend for me, but I may try to see the movie tomorrow morning or on Sunday. Here is The Pittsford Perennialist's review.

Copperhead is Coming to the Area

I checked the theater listings and the movie will be opening July 19 at Blue Light Cinemas in Cupertino (the cheapie theater).

How did the theater determine there was enough interest in the movie?
