Here\u2019s some really good news: \u00a0A number of Cinemark theaters \u2014 in, I believe, Orem, Provo, American Fork, Draper, Midvale, Farmington, West Jordan, and Salt Lake City \u2014 will be running sneak previews of Six Days in August<\/em> on the evening of Thursday, 26 September. \u00a0 That\u2019s next week. \u00a0Tickets for these special screenings are already on sale right now<\/em>: \u00a0Six Days in August<\/em> \u2013 Early Access<\/a>. \u00a0Click on Thurs 9\/26<\/em> and then click on the 7:00pm<\/em> button, and you will see a seating chart.<\/p>\n

Also: A new article of mine has just gone up in Meridian Magazine<\/em>: \u00a0\u201cA Presidential Divide: The Fight over Who\u2019ll Be Next.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 It\u2019s probably not about what you might think<\/em> it\u2019s about.<\/p>\n

And, once again, don\u2019t forget about next Wednesday\u2019s major event: \u00a0\u201cSix Days in August<\/em> Fireside at the SCERA Center for the Arts\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry to clutter up my blog with further attention to the Hulu miniseries The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em>, but articles about the wretched thing keep clogging my news feed, and sometimes I relent and read one or two of them. \u00a0These two purported to be more seriouser than most of the usual entertainment coverage so . . . \u00a0well, I admit that I looked at them. \u00a0And they\u2019re pretty discouraging. \u00a0I was hoping, from its title, that the second article \u2014 from the student newspaper at the University of Pittsburgh, in the general vicinity of which a new temple was dedicated<\/a> just this past weekend \u2014 might register some reservations about the show and about the chosen lifestyles of its stars. \u00a0And, to some extent, it did. \u00a0But by far its most severe condemnation was aimed at the church that has victimized those stars, and against whose oppressive strictures and teachings these noble and idealistic young women are heroically struggling.<\/p>\n
