The Moviegoer: Movie Making and the Politics of the Exfiltration Thriller

Last updated on: October 26, 2012 at 7:43 pm By Nick Olson

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. Let me set up a story for you. A CIA operative who specializes in “exfiltration” arrives in Tehran–the capital of Iran–to rescue six Americans who have evaded a mass hostage situation at the US embassy. Hiding out in the home of the Canadian Ambassador, these six escapees grow more wearied with each passing day as they are haunted by the thought of impending capture and, most likely, execution. But... Read more

Iran’s Cyber-Retaliation

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 11:58 am By C. Ryan Knight

Most of our attention to Iran has been on an amateur sketch of a nuclear bomb and talk of red lines during Presidential debates. Many are worried America will soon take military action against Iran over the issue of nuclear proliferation. Military action is dangerously close – and not because of nuclear weapons. U.S. banks have experienced cyber-attacks recently. Back in August, the Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco suffered a cyber-attack. Here’s a description of the attack from Nicole Perlroth, writing for...

The Noose of Popular Opinion

Last updated on: October 24, 2012 at 10:10 pm By Erin Straza

It used to be that only large companies with generous funding could afford messaging via mass comm. But today, we have social media tools, opening access to the marketplace to anyone who cares to send a thought into the world. We can send our opinions through Web sites, blogs, Facebook, and Twitter, and we can even gain a following of loyal readers who find our thoughts insightful or amusing. But those on the receiving end are no longer content to... Read more

Virtual Economics, the American Dream, and Our Lust for Stuff

Last updated on: October 24, 2012 at 10:04 pm By Drew Dixon

Videogames are no stranger to economics. Role playing games have long given players markets, work, and currency and given players some agency in managing these things in order to buy and sell goods. I recently wrote on this subject with regard to a recent game called Torchlight II and Patricia Hernandez recently wrote something similar but more personal with reference to Borderlands 2. I think this is an important issue to consider with regard to games, so I thought I would... Read more

Citizenship Confusion: Billy Graham and Speaking of a Mormon President

Hahne, who has been illustrating for us for the past year and a half. Basically, we offer him a draft or a pitch for an upcoming feature and give him somewhere between two days to a week to come up with something.

A Qualified Endorsement for Romney

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 7:49 pm By C. Ryan Knight

It’s not often you hear about a group making a qualified endorsement. But Log Cabin Republicans, a pro-equality group in support of LGBT rights, issued a qualified endorsement for Mitt Romney yesterday: If LGBT issues are a voter’s highest or only priority, then Gov. Romney may not be that voter’s choice. … We believe Gov. Romney will make cutting spending and job creation his priorities, and, as his record as governor of Massachusetts suggests, will not waste his precious time in... Read more
