Been a while, hasn’t it? Since the start of the semester, we’ve had a slew of new DVDs show up in in the library. You might be most interested in big names like The Great Gatsby<\/i> and the second season of HBO’s Girls<\/i>, but the past few months of acquisitions cast a very wide and intriguing net. Perhaps you’re interested in Midnight’s Children<\/i>, based on the Salman Rushdie novel. If history isn’t your think, consider the documentary about legendary transhuman futurist Ray Kurzweil. Or you may want to watch a lecture about privilege from noted activist Tim Wise.<\/p>\n

Dare you go out on a limb and watch Executive Koala<\/i>, the bizarre Japanese film about a white-collar koala?<\/p>\n

Read on for a full list…
