Election - film by Alexander Payne now Relevant as Ever

From Roger Ebert dot com:There’s an ongoing theme in Alexander Payne’s films -- the people we think are the antagonists aren’t actually bad people; we simply force ourselves into the corner of seeing them that way. From the simple-minded and unfortunately coiffed future in-laws in "About Schmidt" to the adulterous characters in "Sideways" and "The Descendants," to the animosity of the student-teacher relationship at the heart of "The Holdovers," these films all feature cases of the protagonis...

Medieval Legal Dramas - Justice in Icelandic Sagas

By Declan McClean Law is not universal. We comprehend that different countries have different legal systems, and sometimes laws are varied even within countries. However, the universal nature of the modern state has largely eroded the cultural responses to law and enforcement that were present in previous ages, and we often consider elements of corruption or extra-legal affairs to be maimings of some sort of super-national universal justice, rather than the effects of western legal syste...

Supreme Court to Hear Warhol Copyright Infringement Case

The US Supreme Court today announced that it will rule as to whether Andy Warhol’s use of a photograph taken by Lynn Goldsmith constitutes fair use. The case centers around a full-length black-and-white portrait of Prince that Goldsmith shot in 1981, working on commission for Newsweek. Three years later, Warhol appropriated the image for a silk-screen illustration accompanying a Vanity Fair article titled "Purple Fame," boosting the portrait’s contrast, altering the palette to include deep or...
