The 20 Greatest Best Picture Winners of All-Time
In view of the upcoming 94th Academy Awards, I decided to compile a small list. Having officially watched every single film to take home the prestigious Best Picture award, here is what I deemed were the 20 best to ever win it. (I limited it to presenting my top 20 since to say a word on all 93 films would prove tedious, and I also opted not to include Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans which would assuredly have been in my top 5).

The Complete History of St. Olaf, Minnesota (according to Rose Nylund)
St. Olaf Township, Minnesota, USA, is a real and, I'm sure, lovely place - but it's most famous for being the fictional hometown of Golden Girls' Rose Nylund, played by the incomparable Betty White - whose nonsensical tales of her backwards Norwegian-American homestead provided at least some explanation for how she grew up so adorably dim.

Whenever I’ve had a bad day, I put on a Lana Del Rey song and… well, it doesn’t necessarily cheer me up. But it does give my hiding-under-the-bedsheets-in-sweatpants look a certain sultry mystique. Maybe.

The original family surname is Stamatopoulos. Stamos worked in his father's restaurant and held other jobs that were common for teens in the 1970s.

Why Did Hollywood Stop Hiring Tall Handsome Actors
When baby-boomers were children, westerns dominated the three TV channels and the big screen. The men that starred in these shows were tall, usually dark, and handsome. They make Brad Pitt and George Clooney look average. This was before the feminist movement when men were men and women were women. The words girly-men and pussified hadn’t been coined yet.

Book Review: "Florence Stories" ed. by Ella Carr
I have always loved stories about Florence, set in Florence and a bunch of other things to do with Florence. For the past almost fifteen years I have been wanting to go to Florence and, for the first time in that period - I had finally saved enough money to go - that was in January of 2020. You can only guess what happened to my luck next. When Italy shut itself down, I wash crushed and before you ask, no I don't have the money to go anymore. But, I still have the want and I will go someday - or I won't, I don't know. It really just depends how Fate wants it to go. But one thing I can be sure of is that these stories were really exciting to read even though I had read many of the books they are from before.

Dwarves, Hobbits, Elves: A Personality Profile
In personality psychology, we use a model called the Big Five for analyzing personality. Unlike other models in popular use like the Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram, the Big Five Personality Traits, or OCEAN, are based on empirical scientific studies. Instead of placing individuals in boxes, it is actually a spectrum, and allows for almost infinite variation. The model is ever-changing, and psychologists always welcome new evidence and findings. However, the OCEAN model is currently the most common in use, and has high replicability, even across cultures. Today, I'm using the Big Five OCEAN model to examine three cultures we meet in JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
