Radical Movies

I was just reading this post on treehugger.com about five great movies that need to be seen, and three of them aren't even available on Netflix.

WHAT?

Come on! Netflix is huge. I have to say, I don't think I'm a conspiracy theorist to wonder if there's not a reason for this. Netflix is huge, but Monsanto is huger.

Here are the films:

The World According to Monsanto
The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil
Food Fight

Now that I can't get them easily, I want to see them even more!

Class starts tomorrow! Gah! So exciting! I hope I get good grades this semester. I hope I kick some ass and write some good papers!

In case you're interested, as some people seem to be, here's the reading list for Sociology 802: Modern Social Theory taught by Robert Antonio this semester:

And here's the reading list for the other class I'm taking, Women and Gender Studies 689: Concepts in Human Sexuality taught by Charlene Muehlenhard

• Wiederman, Michael W. (2001). Understanding sexuality research. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. ISBN: 0-534-50958-4

I've read some of the Stombler book just this evening and it's really easy and accessible. I might just read the whole thing this weekend to get it out of the way and leave time for the other texts during the semester.

ROCK CHALK!
