Shit, now my face is red and it's got egg on it. HEADLESS WOMAN was only released this year in the UK, where I saw it.

Why no HEADLESS WOMAN?
I seem to remember Keith Phipps praising THE HEADLESS WOMAN a great deal in the summer movie wrap-up of A.V. Talk, yet it doesn't appear on his ballot or anyone else's?

That's a pretty good point, actually.

I've read a recent draft of the screenplay
and it looks like like the inevitable Charles Manson biopic we should have had a long fucking time ago. I hope it doesn't get buried in a straight to DVD release.

West Berlin 1998 - 1993
I'd have to be close enough to the wall to see it come down and to cross into East Berlin. Ignoring the awesomeness of the music and arts scene emerging in West Berlin and mixing with the East, I'd want to be there to photograph and document one of the greatest events of the 20th Century in one…

Both of those things would be more plausible plot developments than half the shit that happens in EastEnders. I'm waiting for them to reach the terrorist/hostage situation stand-off/plane-crash heights of last days Brookside.

The is UK has colour television
The US has color television

Corrie is ten times more interesting when high - especially because Manchunian accents are pretty damn funny to begin with.

Master & Commander
My wife's assessment of Peter weir's Master & Commander adaptation, one of the most exciting and stunning period films of recent years and proof positive that Russel Crowe is in fact part of God's plan, was:

Is that an A that I see?
Nice change from the C+ line-up so far.

Valhalla
is about to get the most awesome paint job

Apes are assholes. Monkeys, on the other hand, are A-OK

Following in the footsteps of "Shit My Dad Says", "Shit The Daily Mail Says" should be optioned for a Kilroy Silk career revival vehicle.

Don't worry about Christensen
He's going to be Number 12 in my human centipede - right in front of Ashton Kutcher but behind Danny Dyer.

If you hang out with wombats enough
you'll find Michael Jackson and dog limericks funny too.

9 — fuck!

NaFF is an unfortunate abreviation
if you're English

GET DOWN!
!!!!*BOOM*!!!!!!!

I'll bet this was one of just 5 foreign language films that most academy voters watched this year
Argentina is currently home to the world's most exciting and stimulating and unforgettable filmmaker, Lucrecia Martel, but I doubt most academy members would make it to the end of any of her movies.

Zack is right about cigarettes
when I watched The Man Who Wasn't There in the cinema I was close to pulling my fingernails out with my teeth by the time the credits rolled. When I finally had a cigarette outside the theater it was one of the sweetest, most relieving smokes I have ever had.
