The American Ruling Class (2005) -- This "astonishing," "coruscating" satire poses the question:  Is it better to rule the world, or to save it?
"Entertainment Tonight" (1981): : -- Kurt Vonnegut, Aldous Huxley, Tennessee Williams and many other famous writers not only knew how to put pen to paper, but also brush to canvas. Martha Teichner explores the unknown sides of author-artists.
2081 (2009) -- Based on the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by celebrated author Kurt Vonnegut, "2081" depicts a dystopian future in which, thanks to the 212th Amendment to the Constitution and the unceasing vigilance of the United States Handicapper General, everyone is "finally equal...." The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. It is a poetic tale of triumph and tragedy about a broken family, a brutal government, and an act of defiance that changes everything. Featuring an original score performed by the world-renowned Kronos Quartet (Requiem for a Dream) and narration by Academy Award Nominee Patricia Clarkson (Far From Heaven, Goodnight and Good Luck), "2081" stars James Cosmo (Braveheart, Trainspotting), Julie Hagerty (Airplane!, What About Bob?) and Armie Hammer (The Social Network).
Second Cup Cafe: I Nine -- South Carolina rockers I Nine got their unique name not from the interstate, but from a Kurt Vonnegut novel. They stop by the Second Cup Cafe to perform material from their latest CD.
