FILTHY LUCRE

"Congratulations, America: Even as our currency continues to falter, it takes home top honors in at least one category—having the highest amounts of trace cocaine of any bills on the planet. This according to a new study by those party guys at Trends in Analytical Chemistry, which found traces of the drug on nearly every bill in circulation in every country. It bears noting that currency in Germany and Ireland showed significantly lower concentrations, presumably because their citizens prefer their countries' native liquid vices."

SONY FILM CLASSIC: PERSEPOLIS

I was very much skeptical on watching an animated foreign film in black and white for approximately 50% of the view time, it brought back too many memories of the animated television series of Madeline. Though skeptical of the film, at first, my initial views were swayed by my girlfriends persuasiveness. I try to be opened minded about things and it may of appeared to be hard to attend to at first glance but it was worth it. The film, Persepolis, is a 2007 animation based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel sharing the title. The film was written and directed by Satrapi with Vincent Paronnaud, french comic artist. The story follows a young girl, Marji, as she comes of age against the sceneries of turmoil during the Iranian Revolution, circa 1980. The Revolution takes a turn for the worst with Islamic fundamentalists, the beliefs held by those in movement, taking power and creating a new tyrannic theocracy themselves. The story concludes with Marji as a matured young expatriate of Iran. I give this film an 8/10.
