After a couple of chance encounters with local independent filmmakers and a production company recently, I decided that I could do more to support and spotlight independent film in central Ohio...
“It is at least worth arguing that there is a modicum of the creative novelist in all of us, and that this absorption with how men get out of difficulties, single-handedly and alone if possible, is the stuff of which we weave the warp and woof of our...
There's a lot to recommend the ZOOM Family Film Festival this weekend, December 3-6, at the Wexner Center, and the fact that you're encouraged to show up Saturday morning in your pajamas for cartoons and cereal is the least of it. Well, you're encouraged if you're a kid...
I know that my stories are not the only ones on bookshelves today that feature female heroes — someday, indeed, I want to write a long, graphic essay or teach an arduous course on Real Heroines in Victorian Literature — but there are still far too few. There are still far too many stories in which the female lead is pa...id only lip service to her potential usefulness; who proves she is worth the hero’s time by being “spirited,” as if she were a horse to be broken to saddle, which is, in fact, a dismayingly frequent metaphor; or who is lucky enough to have the traditional, accredited female virtues of sympathy and patience and gets along just fine by being patient and sympathetic with the right people.

What I was trying to show was how people respond to change… The reason why I call that episode “The Grown-Ups,” is because it’s about who is in charge, who is behaving responsibly, who is capable of dealing with the real depth of change. I wanted this season thematically to be about things moving really fast, and a lot... of things you take for granted are disappearing. But are you going to freak out and become conservative and reactionary and angry and bitter? Or are you going to be excited like Don and say, here’s something new? Most of us are in between and a lot of things we lose, we mourn.
