Of the new film Rollerball, critic Roger Ebert writes: “Someday this film may inspire a long, thoughtful book by John Wright, its editor. My guess is that something went dreadfully wrong early in the production. Maybe dysentery or mass hypnosis.”

“Picture a bright blue ball just spinning spinning free, dizzy with eternity
Painted with a skin of sky brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home to you and me” – The Grateful Dead, “Throwing Stones”
