		<title>My Dad Visits Me Once Every Other Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was just telling a close friend who had recently lost his dad that my father comes to me in my dreams at least once every two weeks. It&#8217;s been 14 years. Most of the time, it&#8217;s some situation as in a vacation, an outing, some crisis, an action sequence, or a scene of high [...]]]></description>

		<title>Klaus Kinski: Jesus Christ Erloser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For years, clips of Klaus Kinski&#8217;s onstage rampage in Werner Herzog&#8217;s documentary My Best Fiend haunted me. I had been familiar with this actor&#8217;s eccentric, tantrum-filled personality. After all who can forget his endearing lines to Walter Saxer &#8211; &#8220;Come on, lick my **s man, we&#8217;re making a movie!&#8221; &#8211; during the filming of Fitzcarraldo.

		<title>Photographic Portraits and the Art of Storytelling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cesar Romero beat me to saying &#8220;The camera never lies. It lies everyday.&#8221; At the photo studio, I&#8217;ve been watching and photographing some of whom would be considered  &#8220;beautiful&#8221; girls, who came in to have their portraits taken. The magic of photography is its ability to trap time and stun that unstoppable force in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Word to You is All I Have, And Trust Me: It&#8217;s Good.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My word is always good. A recent event made me think about my commitment to my word. A friend had the bad luck of someone backing &#8211; accidentally &#8211; into her car. The culprit got out immediately and pleaded with her not to notify his boss, for fear of giving his superiors a reason to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Haute Couture&#8217;s Diffusion &amp; pyramid marketing schemes, and Swedish Furniture made in Mexico</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Kanye West&#8217;s Auto-Tune malfunctions in the studio, he resorts to the next best thing: wearing Cher&#8217;s Uninhibited. I was at that rat&#8217;s maze some of you know as Ikea. Normally I go there to play &#8220;gay couples vs. mail order brides,&#8221; tallying up which group has a higher head count before my visit is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fake Photo of Dead Osama Bin Laden, and the Birth of Skepticism in the Digital Age</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Talking about the making of Fitzcarraldo, Werner Herzog once explained his decision to haul an actual full-sized boat over a mountaintop. &#8220;I wanted the audience in a position they could trust their eyes. I want to take cinema audiences back to the earliest days, like when the Lumiere brothers screened their film of a train [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s NOT talk about my Asian mother.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a slew of books coming out about Asian mothers. It&#8217;s nothing new. Asian-Americans have been banking on airing their family&#8217;s dirty laundry for years. I noticed this genre first coming into prominence with Amy Tan&#8217;s Joy Luck Club. Asians stereotype their hospitable nature (&#34;don&#8217;t rock the boat&#34;) by accommodating the host of the country [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rocky I and the downward spiral of Sequels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For 20 years, friends of mine have been appalled that I have neglected to watch The Godfather installments.  I finally saw it a few months back.  Honestly, it didn&#8217;t make much of an impression.  Over the weekend, someone casually suggested I watch the original Rocky, if I hadn&#8217;t yet seen it.  (I haven&#8217;t at that [...]]]></description>
