A Clockwork Orange (1971)
I was bored and decided to take full advantage of the Library, by which I mean its extensive film collection. I had heard of the film “A Clockwork Orange” briefly while studying Psychology; a supposedly dark satirical film, surrounded by much controversy, concerning a young man named Alex, whose principle interests are Beethoven, rape and Ultra-violence.

Insight from a newbie
Over the past few weeks I have began to accommodate myself with my new role, as a forum moderator of bungie.net. It has been a fairly enlightening experience; I have always felt I had a good grasp of the rules, however understanding the line you can cross as a member is a much more straightforward than deciding how to deal with those that cross the line. To use an analogy, it is much like learning to drive a car, in contrast to riding as a passenger. You see it done all the time and you can tell whether somebody is a good driver and yet, when you get the opportunity to sit behind the wheel, it is an exciting, daunting and fairly complex ordeal; until of course the process becomes natural (a feeling I believe I am nearing, but still have a fair way to go).
