Monday Morning Commute: the whirlybird of universal disconstants
Looking back upon my past, over the past (six months), of the past (several years), two questions have arisen. The first one, perhaps obvious, is: who am I? The second one, perhaps obvious, perhaps not obvious, is: who was I? It’s easy to sift through the wreckage, the diamonds, the wrecked diamonds of your past these days. Facebook and Timehop provide constant reminders of what you were doing, this day, year, years, eons, ago. A feedback loop of experience. Remembering the remembrances, especially if you share those memories of memories. A feedback loop of experience.
I don’t know if I’ve gotten older (slowed down) or I’ve gotten older (matured) or if I’ve gotten older-older. But, this much is certain: I do not recognize the Man piercing time-space from the Linear-Past. Or more accurately: I do not recognize when I stopped being the Man piercing time-space from the Linear-Past, and became the older-older, more haunted, more nostalgic CaffPow.

Ryan Coogler in talks ‘Black Panther’, starring majority-black cast
Ryan Coogler is a fucking director, man. Fruitvale Station had oomph, and Creed is in my top five of the year. So I’m stoked to see him officially directing Black Panther, with word also coming that it’s going to feature a mostly-black cast. Which, makes sense, but with Hollywood, man. Who knows. Look at Exodus, or that other Egyptian nightmare movie coming.
Ta-Nehisi Coates is the new writer for Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’
I got Ta-Nehisi Coates’s latest book, Between The World And Me saved in my “To Read” list on Good Reads. But it appears that even if I don’t get around to that soon, the writer and I may be crossing paths. Seemingly unexpectedly. In the funny book stands (?!?!).
Ava DuVernay has passed on ‘Black Panther’ for Marvel Studios
Whelp. Looks like a lot of people turned out to be wrong about Ava DuVernay directing Black Panther.
Maybe Confirmed: Ava DuVernay directing Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’
First it was reported that Marvel was courting Ava DuVernay. Then it was reported she was like, totally directing Black Panther. And now it stands at MaybeDefinitely. Only in the InfoAge, folks.
Marvel wants Ava DuVernay (‘Selma’) to direct diverse superhero flick
Why, just today I was shaking my fist at my perception that Marvel was going into some homogenous downward spiral. Well! Perhaps it was too soon. ‘Cause the House of Cinematic Ideas is courting Ava DuVernay to direct a movie.
