In Part I, I discussed how writers of television shows, books, and films often write with diametrically-opposing agendas. Today, I’m gonna use the exact same formula, because unlike Leonard Nimoy, I’m not a flip-flopper.
| I Am Not Spock |
I Am Spock |
 |
 |
| Leonard Nimoy’s first autobiography. |
Leonard Nimoy’s second autobiography. |
| Being John Malkovich |
V for Vendetta |
 |
 |
| In Being John Malkovich, everyone was one person. |
In V for Vendetta, one person was everyone. |
| The Sopranos |
The Godfather |
Goodfellas |
 |
 |
 |
These are not opposites of each other, but of their titles. They are the three contenders for the title of most cutthroat depiction of mafia violence with the wimpiest-sounding name.
| Schindler’s List |
The Making of Schindler’s List |
 |
 |
| A film about how Jews couldn’t control their own lives. |
A documentary showing indirectly that in Hollywood… you know what, nevermind. |
Well, that ended on a sour note! -Ed
