“Copenhagen was much worse than just another bad deal, because it illustrated a profound shift in global geopolitics. This is fast becoming China’s century, yet its leadership has displayed that multilateral environmental governance is not only not a priority, but is viewed as a hindrance to the new superpower’s freedom of action. I left Copenhagen more despondent than I have felt in a long time. After all the hope and all the hype, the mobilisation of thousands, a wave of optimism crashed against the rock of global power politics, fell back, and drained away.”

Speaking of white guilt...
Not only did Crash do a disservice to David Cronenberg’s Crash in terms of recognition and association, but it robbed Brokeback Mountain for best picture that year.
The worst part of it all is that Crash remains the #1-most rented DVD on netflix. What the hell is wrong with us?

Bachfest on WKCR
Everyone tune into 89.9 if you’re in New York or (like me) on iTunes if you’re out of the city. I always love this time of year, if only because WKCR turns up the hot jams, playing Bach 24/7 until Christmas. If this doesn’t get you in the spirit, nothing will. Time for more coffee. My thoughts on Avatar will be up later today.
