Here and there I have scattered blog posts.
Everything in the garden is lovely - Obamalove from Matt Frei at the BBC.
The Historian-President - Obamalove from Ben Macintyre at the

[Spoiler coming up!]
My problem with the film: this guy Nero sees Romulus destroyed by a supernova. He then is zapped back in time to before it was destroyed. Great, he says, now is my chance to save my threatened planet and its billions of people!

Even granted that seeing one's home planet destroyed often makes one cranky, this seems an odd choice of priorities. He got his crew to agree to it, too.
