Justice Talking: Censoring the Web
Leading Advocates Debate Today's Most Controversial Issues
Kathryn Kolbert
Zak Mettger
Prominent attorneys debate web censorship and school vouchers in the first two volumes of a compelling new book-and-CD series inspired by the popular National Public Radio program Justice Talking
Freedom of speech, one of the most hotly contested issues in America, has entered a new battleground: cyberspace. The very qualities that make the Internet an ideal tool for communication are those that facilitate the exposure of children to potentially harmful material, typically protected for adult use under the First Amendment.
Now, in the first volume of a remarkable new book-and-CD series published in conjunction with National Public Radio's acclaimed Justice Talking program, Nadine Strossen, president of the American Civil Liberties Union, goes head-to-head with Bruce Taylor, executive director of the National Law Center for Children and Families, in a debate about web censorship. Moderated by the popular NPR host Margot Adler, this is a thoughtful, informed discussion of an emotionally charged subject that doubles as a primer for those who want an engaging and accessible way to get up to speed on this cutting-edge issue.
The compact disc contains the complete audio recording of the debate; the accompanying book contains the transcript, along with a history of related First Amendment law and a comprehensive overview of the arguments for and against the Communications Decency Act, and other laws regulating sexually explicit material on the web. The books also contain a range of supplementary primary source documents.

The Summer of '82: Poltergeist
Fante's Inferno revisits the Summer of 1982, considered the greatest movie summer for fantasy and sci-fi fans.
Directed by Tobe Hooper; Screenplay by Steven Spielberg, Michael Grais, Mark Victor
Starring: Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, Beatrice Straight, Zelda Rubinstein
View the original trailer here.
"The house looks just like the one next to it, and the one next to that, and the one next to that."
I always remembered that line from the original trailer for Poltergeist. Watching it again this week made me remember why it worked on so many levels. Jaws could make people afraid of the water. Poltergeist could make you afraid of your house (or clowns).
As I've pointed out in my previous posts on the films of The Summer of '82, I have a preference for old school special effects over today's CGI. Watching Poltergeist 30 years later, I'm amazed at how little there was in terms of special effects for the first two-thirds of the film. With the exception of an animated hand poking out of the television, it's mostly flashing lights and invisible wires moving furniture until the cause of the disturbances make themselves known later in the film. Funny thing is, these low tech effects still hold up very well. Heck, for most of the movie TV static is one of main elements of the story line, even a character in the film. Talk about a cheap special effect!
Tobe Hooper is credited as the director of Poltergeist, but there has been some debate over how much of the film he directed. Produced by Steven Spielberg (he also has a writing credit), Poltergeist could easily be mistaken for one of his directorial efforts. The Freeling's neighborhood in the opening credit sequence of Poltergeist looked more like Elliot's neighborhood in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and several close ups and the use of flashing lights in the film are reminiscent of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Watching the film this week I noticed for the first time that A Guy Named Joe with Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne is playing on Steve and Diane's bedroom TV early in the film. Spielberg would remake this film into Always in 1989.
Poltergeist spawned two sequels (Poltergeist II: The Other Side) in 1986 and Poltergeist III in 1988). Sadly, two members of the original cast suffered untimely deaths: Dominique Dunn (Dana Freeling), the daughter of Dominick Dunne, was murdered prior to her 23rd birthday several months after Poltergeist's premiere, and Heather O'Rourke (Carol Anne Freeling) died due to an illness in 1988 at the age of 12.
Watching Poltergeist brought me back to the Summer of '82 more than the other films I've revisited. It was one of my favorite films that year and I've lost track of how many times I watched it on cable TV. Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams were perfect as Steve and Diane Freeling, and their son Robbie Freeling's room could have easily been my room growing up with all of the Star Wars and NFL merchandise. Thirty years later Poltergeist is not as dated as I thought it would be. Two elements of the film that might be considered dated or confusing to a young viewer would be the opening shot of the Star Spangled Banner playing on a television late at night, and a household that doesn't have cable TV.
One thing that did make me feel old watching Poltergeist is the fact that both Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams were younger than me when they played their roles in this film. Sigh.

With the anniversary upon us, I've been seeing quite a few articles proclaiming the summer of '82 as one of the best summers for movies ever. This Yahoo slideshow sums it up pretty well. My first thought regarding the summer of 1982 is usually, "Holy crap, has it been 30 years?" The second is: "Holy crap, that was a great summer for movies!"
I turned 10 that summer, and in addition to going to the local movie theater, most of that summer was spent reading Marvel comics, playing video games (on the Atari 2600 and at our local arcade) and playing Dungeons & Dragons a couple of times a week. In short, it was heaven.
I'll admit, scanning through these 15 films, there are a few that don't really resonate with me in 2012 (The World According to Garp, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Night Shift), but most of the rest are still favorites of mine and it boggles my mind that they were released over the course of a few months. Several fall into the category of "when I flip through the channels and it's on, I watch it to the end."
My favorites from the list:
Conan the Barbarian (5/14/82)
The Road Warrior (5/21/82)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (6/4/82)
Poltergeist (6/4/82)
E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (6/11/82)
Blade Runner (6/25/82)
The Thing (6/25/82)
The Secret of NIMH (7/2/82)
TRON (7/9/82)
Pink Floyd: The Wall (8/6/82)
One film that surprisingly isn't on this list is Clint Eastwood's Firefox (6/18/82).
I'd like to revisit each of these films in blog posts corresponding to the week they were released, but as you can see I'm a bit behind schedule with the first six, but the 30th anniversary of the release of Blade Runner (one of my favorite movies of all time) is coming up, so I'd better get cracking on that one.
