As someone who actually sat on a local library board, I can say definitely that 90% of the challenges to books in the collection came from religious conservatives, usually campaigns waged by local churches. — PolitiTweet.org

Looks like Balthazar from Bresson's film, which I watched again last night. You can see why it divides so many people, from those who argue it's one of the best ever made to those who say what the hell was that all about? The final sequence is one of the most stunning in cinema. — PolitiTweet.org

Where's the parallel? In the first cases, the publishers fought govt censorship. In the others, the estate of the author decided not to reprint racist images for an educational audience. Perhaps Douthat saw Ulysses as manual for masturbation & Lolita a how-to-guide to pedophilia? — PolitiTweet.org

Someone who knows Godard's intimately told me today that La Chinoise, where he proclaims "images should replace vague ideas", then unloads 90 minutes of Maoist ranting, was intended as JLG's version of Dostoevsky's Demons, which infuses the film w/ a new level of meaning & irony https://t.co/enD6WVcGK6 — PolitiTweet.org
