Marat Sade [VHS]
$14.95
I saw this film version of the Royal Shakespeare Production of Marat/Sade in a brief theatrical release years ago while I was in college, and was profoundly moved by it then. Several years ago I was delighted to find and purchase the DVD, and upon viewing it found it had lost none of it's punch, it's relevance or it's brilliance! It is visually striking, the writing is a feast for the ear and the mind, and it 'works' brilliantly on not only the level of watching a play, but drawing the viewer into the play, observing the immates from just beyond the bars. At the end when de Sade laughs at the chaos in the madhouse, it is our polite sensibilities he laughts at!
A year or so ago I had the great fortune of seeing a production of this play at the University of Texas, which again was wonderfully realized. I cannot understand why this DVD is no longer available from the manufacturer: I suppose that on the surface it seems of limited appeal - but the theme of the philosohical debate between de Sade and Marat is as important and relevant today as it was forty years ago, and it is presented so brilliantly through the writing, the staging and the acting in this one of a kind DVD.

Adidas Microbounce + Marat Running Shoes Mens 10.5
$110.00
These shoes are light, they're perfect for crosstraining at the gym. Although these do not have the thick cushion bouncy feeling of my Nikes, they're a lot less light os that makes for good walking. The design is good and the sole has a purpose. Delivery was fast, cost was cheap..been using these for a month now and they seem to have become a reason to gym, they're that comfortable with tracks or shorts. Can't wait for the summer when I put these to the plunge. Haven't cleaned them once, I need to do that, the laces aren't very long and a double knot is the max possible but then this is not a tie. Great for gym.
