Thoughts on culture & politics, by Robert Stanley Martin
Click here for Pol Culture's Twitter page.
NEW HERE? PLEASE READ
This blog reflects my interest in politics, literature, and the arts.
Want to read the posts on one topic but don't want to scroll through the rest? A list of topics is below. Just click the sorting link for the one of your choice.
I'm interested in receiving media materials for review, particularly from comics, mini-comics, and graphic-novel publishers. Artist monographs and exhibition catalogs are also welcome, and Web-comics publishers are invited to send me links. Anything received will get careful consideration.

Agree. That was an odd decision, focusing on the domestic drama. It would have worked as a subplot, but I didn't care enough about their marital squabbles. It's a movie about a controversial political topic - don't be afraid to take a controversial political stand!
