I was happy to see Beeswax get a big turn-out at the Boston Independent Film Fest this year. I guess they kind of consider him a home-town boy here. Still smile when I think of the line, "Maybe if you'd been a better girlfriend he wouldn't have killed himself." Whoops!

Wrestling Ernest Hemingway is nothing but gold. No one doubts this. Not even close to a flop.

I'm glad Ms. Personality got the boot and I think she was given it due not only to the coldness of dish temperature-wise but also to the lack of inspiration, which she alludes to a bit on the way out. I think she was playing it safe and deserved to pack her knives.

Thanks for that list, ZMF, it does indeed own. I know I'm wrong but Barton Fink still stands at the top of the Coen's list for be alongside Millers Crossing.

I'm un-following you as I write this.

Let us not forget his DePalma work — Blow Out and Raising Cain. Supreme creepiosity in there.

And here I thought it was widely known that it takes Padma 15 takes to get a usable line reading on Top Chef. I guess their banking on exotic good looks trumping being able to string words together in any sort of engaging fashion.

Tower records - 1994 - discovering the Silver Jews and Sebadoh (and pot). First (less cool) job was in 1993 at Stop & Shop Video in where we could only watch G (sometime PG) movies while on the job. Must have watched 2001 damn near a hundred times but always had to turn down the volume during the high frequency…

I felt the only real misstep here was the Kate Moss "Dirty Robot" (it's entirely unlistenable). The other tunes are really effective - the guy still has a great voice and he's always had at least one lovely slice of cheese like Beautiful on his albums. The GG Allin song is particularly creepy. Maybe it's because…

Let's all have a champagne jam!

I was at that show, Tex. David Cross and his Superpals (or something like that). I remember fondly how he pissed off a bunch of ladies at that show with his thorough take-down of The Vagina Monologues (which at the time was at the height of its popularity). Good stuff. The Girls Guitar Club also played.

A B- Woody Allen movie usually equals a B+ when stacked against the rest of the year's comedies. I'll be seeing you.

It makes my happy happy.

I'd like to add that these recaps could go further in-depth — if Rabin can get away with one million words on The Ladies Man, Deadwood should get two million.

It's great to see that this film is making its way to at least a few towns. McHattie is pretty damn badass in this little flick. Good fun.

I'd still like to see Tom Hanks play Dino — his version on an old SNL appearance was pretty great and the older he gets the better I think it would turn out. Here's hoping he's part of this project.

Thank you james, you're absolutely right. It's like going to the carnival. If you think a 80x100 foot screen can fit into an AMC, you deserve to lose your money.

Perhaps you'd like to read Mr. Rabin's dispatch before causing me some expensive, expensive dental work, Monkeylint.

I guffawed all over my slice of 'za when I read, "It's hard to see why Ryder is attracted to Bentley. Jeez, he's not even in a band." zipzingzammo

Draw me up some specs for your submarine car design and storyboard a couple underwater chase scenes and I'll get back to you.
