sam riley is pierre curie, the partner in whose shadow marie is initially forced to dwell, but upon whosely unruly picture which abandons the classical biographical storytelling of 1943's madame curie starring greer garson, and instead embarks upon a more anarchic vision in which past and present, triumph and guilt, advantage and harm collide. with her own background in graphic novels, satrapi displays an inventive eye for detail, lending a surreal air to scenes bathed in the eerie glow of discovery. hallucinatory images fill the screen as the film strives to take us inside curie‘s mind, an experiment that's only partly successful. the result is very strange indeed, impressively inventive, occasionally ridiculous, but always anchored by pike's central performance. and the worst picture of the decade is showgirls! i want to watch this thing over and overand overagain. i think we're still talking about showgirls because we're not done with it. i'll leave you with news of a new documentary that aims to do for showgirls what tim burton's ed wood did for plan 9 from outer space, the punningly

bill gates, sally ride, marie curie, pablo picasso, toni morrison, they all throughout the checklist and ignored the plan. so many say i cannot expect to be jane austen or frank loyd wright but what we can embrace is a plan not of checklist but fragments of the expectations of a society and most of its expectations is not worthy and that requires courage passion in lieu of plans. that's a new one. and this is a new world. as we explore a new world instead of clinging to the old one? or are we smart and strong enough to become that we seek what is correct because we are afraid. caution is nothing but fear dressed up as common sense. the road less traveled is a popular palm and unpopular life choice the well-traveled road is so much safer but do we want our lives to be a resume or an adventure? don't let fear rule you. fear is what has poisoned our culture and community and national character. the very worst thing done in this country are done out of fear. phobia, sexism, sexism zeno phobia, desperate send demagogues they all arrive and tell us how to fear which is unknown or different

bill gates, sally ride, lin-manuel miranda, marie curie, pablo picasso, toni morrison, they all threw out the checklist. they all ignored the plan. so maybe you're saying to yourself, i can't expect to be jane austen or frank lloyd wright. but i think what we can embrace is a hand-crafted life. not one made up of plans or checklists, of fragments of the expectations of a society that, honestly, in most of its expectations is not worthy of you or any of us. and that requires courage. not compliance. passion in lieu of simply plans. that's a new way and this, right now, is is a new world. so are we strong and smart enough to explore a new world instead of cling to the old one? are we smart and strong enough to become who we might be were we not afraid? because that's the problem, isn't it? i mean, we slavishly seek what is correct because we're afraid. caution is nothing but fear dressed up as common sense. the road less traveled, yeah, it's a popular poem, it's an unpopular life choice. the well-trod road so much safer, but do we want our lives to be a resume or an adventure? don't let
