This line-graph series is the result of my wondering if there's any pattern to the number of print serial subscriptions held by public libraries in relation to the increasing number of public access Internet computers provided by public libraries since 1999. (Earliest year for which Wisconsin statistics are available.)

Note: The 1996, 1997, 1998 Wisconsin public library annual reports asked for the following information: Libraries with Internet access. (Answered yes or no.) Libraries with electronic services. (Answered yes or no.) In 1999, public libraries reported the number of public access Internet computers for the first time in the annual report.

Foxcatcher Creates No Excitement

Count your blessings that you didn't end up here today.

Although a reviewer for the Washington Post got suckered into Sony Classic Pictures' hype.

‘Foxcatcher’ Steve Carell’s performance as an aristocratic oddball represents a breakthrough for someone more associated with comedy and winsome drama. Ann Hornaday writes, "'Foxcatcher' exerts a mesmerizing pull, not only because it affords the chance to witness three fine actors working at the height of their powers, but also because it so steadfastly resists the urge to clutter up empty space with the filigree of gratuitous imagery and chatter."

Mesmerizing??!!

Here's the real scoop, folks.

Messy, at best.

Let's write a screenplay about the most boring people imaginable and then film it as a snooze-inducing, pretentious movie.

In a most laughable turn of events, Steve Carell received a Golden Globe nomination for "Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama", a performance that would clearly be the nadir of any actor's resume.  What's was he -- or the director -- thinking?

Overall, the movie is a criminal waste of talent and further evidence that Hollywood can no longer tell a coherent story.

Interstellar.

Need I say more?

The movie should have been listed here.
