As The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest continues at The Varsity Theatre in Davis, what are women film critics saying about the dramatic conclusion to the Millenium trilogy? Despite being squeamish, I love the key elements of the series: busting up corruption, fighting abuse of women

Three Foxes by the Edge of the Field at Twilight
By Jane Hirshfield
One ran,
her nose to the ground,
a rusty shadow
neither hunting nor playing.
One stood; sat; lay down; stood again.
One never moved,
except to turn her head a little as we walked.
Finally we drew too close,
and they vanished.
The woods took them back as if they had never been.
I wish I had thought to put my face to the grass.
But we kept walking,
speaking as strangers do when becoming friends.
There is more and more I tell no one,
strangers nor loves.

My guest Nov. 17 live in the studio was John Merchant, the owner of Davis' own 49er Video. We talked about Blockbuster declaring bankruptcy, Netflix, Redbox, public libraries, cable and satellite television.

Criticism of Netflix is just a blip on the national radar, but censoring content is a serious subject. The movie in question is Trash Humpers, written and directed by provocateur Harmony Korine. Netflix refuses to stock the trashy little movie.

The things is, I saw this movie at South by Southwest 2010 and hated every second of it. Here's an excerpt of what I wrote for Boise Weekly at the time:

Erskine Hawkins
Don Byas
Glenn Miller
Frankie Trumbauer and His Orchestra (with Bix Beiderbecke)
Eubie Blake
Lena Horne
Charlie Barnet & His Orchestra
Louis Armstrong
Ella Fitzgerald & The Tommy Flanagan Trio
Gerry Mulligan
Grover Washington Jr.
Oscar Peterson
Mills Brothers
Ennio Morricone
Etta James
Herb Alpert
The Manhattan Transfer
