Art by Tracy McCusker.
After a long (loooong) hiatus, Playtime is back in action with a new look, a new address, and two new articles. First, our designer, editor, and all around awesomeness generator, Tracy McCusker, has composed some new poems that are part of a cycle she’s calling Poems in Space. They’re lovely, so please read them. Next, my compadre, Alex, and I discuss the relative merits of The Dark Knight Rises. I’m a fan, he’s not. We dig into aesthetics, politics, Frank Miller, and whatnot. If the idea of reading two passionate, intelligent guys go at it over a Batman movie, you definitely need to check it out. Personally, I’m incredibly grateful to Alex for his thoughtful, provocative responses; it made for a stimulating and rewarding conversation, and I couldn’t ask for a better sparring partner. Many thanks again to Alex, for doing the roundtable, and to Tracy, for editing it together so handsomely. Later on, we hope to do another roundtable — this one on Peter Jackson’s upcoming Hobbit adaptation. There are other ideas in the pipeline, too. Stay tuned. ☕

Congrats to PT and its far more appropriate URL change! The hardest part I’m sure is bringing new eyes to it/increasing demand.
