Tucker The Man and His Dream

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. With Jeff Bridges, Joan Allen, Martin Landau, Frederic Forrest. The story of Preston Tucker, the maverick car designer and his ill-fated challenge to the auto industry with his revolutionary car concept.

Jeff Bridges was a fantastic choice to play Preston Tucker, a man who I honestly couldn’t tell from the movie if he was a con-man at all or just a really hopeful person that always had a thought on how to movie forward, regardless of the stumbling blocks put in front of him. Of course, it turns out that the incumbent car manufacturers were working day and night to prevent his success, even going as far as to pull him in front of a court to determine if he was fraudulently selling shares of a company that was nothing more than a pipedream. This is a situation that’s about as American as apple pie, but this example wasn’t one that I knew, but happy to have learned about.

A sidenote, one of the 50 Tucker 48s that were made lives in the same town I do at the Tallahassee Auto Museum, a fantastic visit for anyone passing through town and wanted to see fabulous cars (and pocket knives) all while supporting an absolutely bonkers MAGA guy.

$3 for “Lovecraft Country”

 

The New York Times bestselling book behind the HBO Series from J.J. Abrams, Misha Green and Jordan Peele (Director of Get Out)

A chimerical blend of magic, power, hope, and freedom that stretches across time, touching diverse members of two black families, Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff is a devastating kaleidoscopic portrait of racism – the terrifying specter that continues to haunt us today.

Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing, twenty-two year-old Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied by his Uncle George – publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide – and his childhood friend Letitia. On their journey to the manor of Mr. Braithwhite – heir to the estate that owned one of Atticus’s ancestors – they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours.

At the manor, Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret cabal named the Order of the Ancient Dawn – led by Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb – which has gathered to orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus. And his one hope of salvation may be the seed of his – and the whole Turner clan’s – destruction.

Spider-man Movie Title Dream Board

Freaky

Directed by Christopher Landon. With Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton, Celeste O’Connor, Misha Osherovich. After swapping bodies with a deranged serial killer, a young girl in high school discovers she has less than 24 hours before the change becomes permanent.

Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton do a delightfully horrifying body swap slasher that starts with bloody murderous action, keeps the gore going, then ends exactly how you’d think it would. I enjoyed the ride though, so that’s definitely no knock against the film.

The Demon-Haunted World

A prescient warning of a future we now inhabit, where fake news stories and Internet conspiracy theories play to a disaffected American populace

“A glorious book . . . A spirited defense of science . . . From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought.”-Los Angeles Times

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.

Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today’s so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms.

Praise for The Demon-Haunted World

“Powerful . . . A stirring defense of informed rationality. . . Rich in surprising information and beautiful writing.”–The Washington Post Book World

“Compelling.”–USA Today

“A clear vision of what good science means and why it makes a difference. . . . A testimonial to the power of science and a warning of the dangers of unrestrained credulity.”–The Sciences

“Passionate.”–San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle

Only $3 on Amazon right now, this is one of the best books you can read if you’re wondering why religion had such a strangle hold on humanity, and how we’re going to move past it.
