Political Memes

Countless artists, whether they are filmmakers or not hope to have the level of creative liberties and dedication to the craft that was possessed by David Lynch. Even those who were not fans of his work have to admit there are only so many directors that have had enough of an impact that their surname…

Awards season can sometimes feel like election season, with lots of big personalities competing for the attention of the American public with TV appearances, interviews, and everyone constantly trying to create the most memorable sound byte.

The Star Wars franchise is full of wisdom. The classic tale of good versus evil contains so much good advice that pertains as much to our Earthly realm as it does to an intergalactic, generations-long space conflict.  For example, when Poe Dameron says, “The First Order wins by making people think they are alone. We’re…
