  Mindhive: September 2004 Archives
The theme of the movie is the blurring divide between the living and the machine, and Mamoru Oshii illustrates it with supreme elegance.
Innocence has no plot to speak of; what it does have instead are breathtaking visuals punctuated by (or, sometimes, interleaved with) scenes of characters standing still and making faux-existential speeches at the camera.
Right after that, they fired most of their writing staff, and started work on a new World of Darkness, similar to the previous one, but set in a parallel universe or something to that extent.

 The End Of The Innocence by Don Henley Songfacts
It was truly the end of the innocence for me, and still to this day I can't look at a cornfield without bittersweet memories of a time when I really did feel like I lived in a safe fairy tale...with Mommy and Daddy standing by.
Just google "the end of the innocence" and "tired old man that we elected king." Henley wrote this song as a continuation in a sense of the message put out in "The Last Resort" when he was with The Eagles.
This song is not about the loss of individual innocence but a collective American innocence when in the 1980s many farmers had their farms taken away.

 Amazon.co.uk: The End of the Innocence: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
At the end of the 1980s, his awareness of society and what's wrong with it more acute than ever, on his third solo album Don Henley took up the theme of the closing song of the Eagles' classic "Hotel California" even more forcefully than on his two prior releases.
By the time he published "The End of the Innocence," Don Henley's name was as firmly established as that of a successful solo artist as it had previously come to be known as one of the driving forces behind the Eagles' almost decade-long success.
Henley is well-known to be a perfectionist and is sometimes criticized for allegedly overly "slick" productions; a statement usually going hand in hand with accusations of superficiality and occasionally even hypocrisy (his records did, after all, earn him millions; so how serious can he be about his social criticism?).

 TP: The End of Innocence
Up until the turn of the Third Millennium, we could say we were still more or less innocent, although our hands have been soiled over the past century and a half through ecological degradation caused by industrial technology and nuclear power.
What is more, as various genetically-based treatments become available, people will be encouraged to be careless with their health and over-consume, knowing that there will be some kind of cure available later when they get into trouble.
The future direction of genomic research, therefore, will end up going to where the money is. "Techno-health" has now become the order of the day, in where we obtain good health through technologically-based cures (which cost money) as opposed to preventive measures and a healthy lifestyle (which is more or less free).

 BookBlog: The end of innocence for Mozilla?
Dave Coursey laments the End of Innocence for Mozilla with the founding of a taxable subsidiary.
The danger of the Mozilla Foundation forming a for-profit business, Mozilla Corp., is that the result may be as nasty and political as your average nonprofit and as money-grubbing as your typical software company.
I can't help feeling that the foundation is crossing a line from which it can never retreat, taking with it a bit of the romance of software by the people, for the people.

 ‘The End of Innocence’ (R)
"The End of Innocence" is Dyan Cannon fodder -- a me, myself and I production about how hard it is to be a whole person and still get a man. Ostensibly an instructive feminist drama, this self-absorbed little film mainly proves that Cannon still looks good in tights at 54.
It's vain, but modestly so, nothing so catastrophic as Jack Nicholson directing himself in "The Two Jakes." Still it is a nose dive into the cuckoo's nest and it seems that "Innocence" will never end.
"The End of Innocence" is rated R for drug use, sensuality and profanity.

 "The End of Innocence"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
"In Britain, heterosexual Aids has probably never existed," is a conclusion of the BBC "Fine Cut" documentary programme "The End of Innocence", which was shown as part of the Red Ribbon series marking World Aids Day, on the 5th December 1995.
The programme examined in great and often moving detail the effect of the UK Aids phenomenon on homosexuals and the part that homophobia plays in the public perception of Aids.
The other is that the "Fine Cut" documentary, both in its length (90 minutes) and the detail of its research, is the first BBC Aids journalism to be openly critical of the Aids establishment and to challenge successfully one of its most dubious assertions.

To this end, impact will be examined in terms of viruses found both In the Wild [1] (ItW) and on the World Wide Web (WWW), as a function of time.
The data gathered before and after various types of high profile intervention is considered; in particular we are interested in any decrease noted in the graph of virus growth both ItW and on the WWW, and in online references to legal concerns.
As it seems unlikely that writing a virus that never ever is distributed would be made illegal in The United States, we propose that a suitable measure of the problem for a legislator is the number of viruses found "in the wild".

As though his prosecution of the war was not in itself a trouble of enormous and repellent magnitude.
