Now there's a Herculean task if ever there was one —- DO IT!!!

spot-on — the same qualities seem to rear their heads in the Mount Kailash segment of Wheel of Time, such a deeply Herzogian moment of obsession that it made my eyes bleed salty water (I agree with Pierce's assertion that this segment stands many heads and many shoulders above the rest of the film surrounding it).

Bells from the Deep is fantastic but it seems to be overlooked because it lacks Herzog's funky narration and follows more conventional documentary trends. None-the-less the people crawling across the frozen lake, the sweet little old lady whose hand got bitten off by a pig and the orphaned dude jamming on the church…

That dancing chicken
gets me every time (I like to imagine that the chicken never stops dancing).

Tim Burton has squandered what little talent he ever had
so much so that it's worth wondering if he ever had any in the first place.

Jungle Exotica Vol.2 was my gateway. Probably not a great place to start but it has a little more zany variety than most Martin Denny sides and Midnight Limbo by The Tides is the sort of song that could easily steer psychedelic era nerds down the windy road towards something a little more suit & tie.

Sentinel does. I hate those.

Do these films even need a writer?
Couldn't a temp just jot-down 80 pages of revving noises from a NASCAR rally?

Let the masturbation metaphores
CUMENCE!!!

I still love Nathan Rabin's description of Kristen Stewart as "a talent vacuum".

fuckin' keyboard malfunction! ggrkjrn

Imagine Gob from Arrested Development reading the line
"Help me randomly slather paint on my wall, 'cause I've decided to be an artist" and this film sounds like it could be fun.

When Anthony Hopkins is denied the aid of CGI to ruin his performance he can always resort to hokey accents - come to think of it, he almost managed to make do without the CGI in this film too.

While I can't say that I particularly enjoyed the film at all - in contrast to my adoration of the book, which is almost like the high-literary cousin to film comedies like Bad Taste and La Bete - I think it's greatest crime was not being long enough. Cronenberg should have spent more time layering the sterility and…

Brave New World
I would love to see an adaptation of Brave New World (even though Equilibrium pretty much rips-off most of the premise, in addition to just about every other distopia story in existence). It always seemed to me to be a natural companion of 1984.

** High Five **

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't notice my own pun until I re-read it. I'm really, sincerely depressed by the onslaught of 3D crapiness and only 3DD-CHUNGA-LUNGA-Vision will convince me that 3D shouldn't go as quickly as it came.

don't get excited about an Emily Blunt Werewolf. That little thing is part of a storyline obviously deemed unimportant in the editing room. Every appearance of that little thing in the film is already included between the two trailers.

I'll be first in line when this comes out
Though Neill Mashall doesn't seem to have a high opinion of the Scots. Any character to go North of the border in his films ends-up like chopped liver.
