I bet Billy Barty could've acted the hell out of being a Roman general.

Yeah, the whole post-confession torture of the cookie thing just didn't work.
The blocking business I was fine with because, logic be damned, it was creepy.

Taking of Pelham 123 is one of those movies I can always watch, no matter what mood, like Conan The Barbarian, Road Warrior, Seven Samurai, Good the Bad and The Ugly, etc.
It's an aces piece of entertainment, cinema comfort food.

He doesn't have to worry about Hollywood.
He has to worry about himself.
It's really weird how success has made Jackson completely fucking tone deaf.
Kong and Lovely Bones were horribly stillborn, and he fought to make a thin children's book into a massive, bloated, and boring epic.

In all fairness to Conan, any response would sound good when the dude before you said,"The wind in your hair."

Also, somehow, 100% cocaine.

Yup.

I don't know nothin' about nothing that the article was rambling about, sports, rap, Dj's, whatever, is all alien to me.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

LOVED: Nightcrawler, The Rover, Under The Skin, and Borgman.
LIKED: Whiplash, Birdman, The Babadook, The Missing Picture, Blue Ruin, The Wind Rises.
DISAPPOINTING: Snowpiercer, Godzilla, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Immigrant, The Raid 2.
NEED TO SEE: Ida, Noah, Dance of Reality, Force Majeure, Only Lovers Left Alive

Yeah, I really enjoyed Nightcralwer.
It's a weird commission to me as it pretty much fires on all cylinders.
I certainly would place it higher than something like The Immigrant, which is going through the motions, drama miserablism.

Watching that trailer on a laptop made me a little nauseous.
I'm afraid all that loopy fisheye will have me barfing in the theater.
It's like Malick was inspired by South Park's "Close-up Animals with a Wide-angle Lens Wearing Hats."

Yeah, again, like I said, it's about the context.
My humor's as black as they come, and I agree with you that South Park and the Daily Show are good examples of topical humor done right.
But, often I feel people knee jerk into silly parodies and bad taste one liners that are less wittily riffing and trying to actually…

We live in a culture where sincerity and seriousness are often instantly mocked or even devalued.
It's often not even irreverent, it's just snarky.
Serial is a pretty heady subject matter; I personally don't find anything mockable in examining a true life, possibly unsolvable murder and possible wrongful conviction (or…

I found Barbarella weirdly dull.
It's like a work of camp done by someone with no sense of humor or love of action.
The visuals and Fonda look great, but it's just inert, like it would have worked better as a picture book/magazine spread than a feature film.

I agree with Bowie as a friend and a guy you could take in a fight (Hikeeba!).

You could crash a starship through the gaping plotholes in Into Darkness.
And, I'm not meaning fantasy logic either, it's just filled with outright nonsense.
Then when you add in the allusions to 9/11 and the war on terror (and to a lesser degree the Wrath Of Khan riffing), ugh, the flick just left me feeling icky and…

Yeah, but has Lindelof apologized for the abominations that were the Prometheus and Cowboys Vs. Aliens scripts?
No?
Then fuck him too.

I saw Lichens live and he was really good: drone synth and voice, tantric kind of music, complete with swirling psychedelic video backdrop.
He didn't fit the cliched image of a metal dude, thats for sure.

He was pretty awesome.
He possessed that kind of rare, tough guy charisma that needed about a split second of screen time to take affect.
He could just walk into frame and you knew, "Okay, that guy probably chews bullets."
