Re: “How I Lost My Respect for Rex Reed”
Similar to the basic point of the article here, criticizing the audience rather than the film, in 1982 Rex Reed wrote of his choice not to either see or write a review of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," while in the same paragraph stating that "Star Trek" fans wouldn't be able to read it anyway. A ridiculous comment since Trek fans have from the beginning been a demographic of the most enlightened and well-read members of the viewing public. In a later column he somewhat apologized stating "hell hath no fury like a Trekkie scorned." He eventually did review "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" and gave it three stars for its comedic focus when he was on "At the Movies," and added that he wondered how the Trekkies felt about it not taking the series seriously, again not realizing that humor has always been one of the strongest aspects of "Star Trek," as evidenced by the original series episodes "The Trouble With Tribbles," "I, Mudd" and "A Piece of the Action." Only Reed can say if he eventually did see "Wrath of Khan" or whether he acknowledges what a magnificent adventure it is, and Reed's listed reviews for the New York Observer have not included the two J.J. Abrams reboot entries so far released.
Re: “RIP to the Best Used Bookstore in Brooklyn”
It was always a pleasure to drop by. But it seems the only way to keep a book store open these days is to attach it to a bar.
Re: “Every Blue-Eyed Person Ever Is Descended from the Same Original Blue-Eyes”
I think it is extremely distasteful to rant on about the supremacy of "the blue eyed people", not only for the general gauche-ness of claiming anyone with a particular physical trait they had no control over is superior but for the blatant disrespect of our modern history in which tens of thousands of people were killed in the name of a blue eyed "race."
Re: “Maybe Laughing at Fat Diabetics Makes You an Asshole?”
As a type 1 diabetic I think I could kiss you for writing this. People really don't know a lot about diabetes, other than than they think you have to be fat or a sugar junkie to get it. That it's no big deal and not that serious. Without going into details, it is a big deal, it completely changes your life. It takes the kind of discipline that most people who joke about it couldn't possible understand, oh and the complications are scary and horrible. Not to sound too melodramatic, but you've reminded me that people are capable of empathy and kindness. Thank you

There is one more type of extreme tourism which is associated with traveling to destinations where one can participate in one or more adventures or activities which pose potential threat. There are many types of activities available under this section. http://www.whatisall.com/travel/what-is-ex…
Re: “Brooklyn Has The Most Racist Pot Arrest Record in the Entire U.S.”
Isn't this interesting? Especially given that agents of gentrification so indulgent suffer no such scrutiny? Of course, let's line up this article and its implication about policing disparity between "hipster/s" and "locals" with one bemoaning how "hipster/s are targeted by everyone."
Re: “An Open Letter to J. Crew: Please Stop Trying to Deceive Your Customers”
You poor, poor souls. How ever will you go on with your lives without your perfect clothing? There are people who have to get their clothing from dumpsters, and this is what you're complaining about?
Quit whining about what you claim is "dishonesty" and start praising what you KNOW is capitalism at its finest!
I work for J.Crew. I'm sorry if you had a bad experience, but this is an example of some of the biggest arrogance in American culture: the notion that, if an individual had an unpleasant experience with a company, the company MUST be going down the shitter. In reality, J.Crew doesn't need you. J.Crew continues to grow, despite your unfortunate body type, or your one pair of squeaky shoes.
Any issues you may have with the company, stop blogging and commenting about it, and send it to 24-7@jcrew.com.

Re: “John Cage and Mushrooms”
Mushroom cuisines are world famous and why not they are so tempting. But to get to enjoy varieties of mushrooms would really mean something. Not all of them are readily available in super market and trust me you wouldn't want to go out looking for them in forests because you will never know which one to pick and which not. Here at http://growyourownmushrooms.net/ you will get articles about growing mushrooms and some mushrooms kits that you may try.
