		<description><![CDATA[A brief hiatus from my rants about poetics, to rant about the fact that Fantastic Mr. Fox isn&#8217;t making money. This movie is both beautiful and important.  If you have a brain, a conscience, two hours, and ten dollars, then you should go to see it.  In the year of Avatar, for God&#8217;s sake, something good &#8230; <a href="http://theschmidt.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/fox-and-scoundrels/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theschmidt.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3316355&amp;post=220&amp;subd=theschmidt&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some reasons why Blake&#8217;s &#8220;The Tyger&#8221; (see below) is super-awesome. 1. The first and last stanzas are (almost) word-for-word the same.  They&#8217;re about the Tyger himself, and they&#8217;re set &#8220;in the forest of the night.&#8221;  The second stanza and the second-to-last are both set in heaven, where someone (who knows who?) made the tiger.  The third &#8230; <a href="http://theschmidt.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/asymmetrical-beast/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theschmidt.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3316355&amp;post=217&amp;subd=theschmidt&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
