King Kong's effects have aged terribly

I thought the guy from 24 Hour Party people did a better Ian Curtis than the guy from Control

I'm not gonna lie - I watch sports for the names

You slithered out of your mother's filth…

I don't think I would be so bothered by Jimmy Buffet if it weren't for the fact that he's the shrewdest, most calculated motherfucker alive. He preys on the balding and the pasty and I hate his guts. He's the closest thing to a white Tyler Perry

Yeah, pretty much. I think XTC is my favorite band to embarrassingly sing along with while driving and that's saying something because I do a shit-ton of bad singing in the car. Making Plans For Nigel is the tops of the tops

The Beatles is the obvious answer because everyone has every song from their last six or seven albums so thoroughly ingrained in their pop cultural psyche and listening to them makes you feel like you're thirteen

Listen to Age of Consent or Temptation or Ceremony and try not to feel something, you bastard

New Order

Spluh?
How do you have a trailer for something you won't even start shooting for months and months?

HULK SIT ON MOUNT PIOUS AND UNSUBTLY MORALIZE TO THE UNWASHED MASSES WHO PAY TO WATCH MY FILMS

And on the rare occasions when the truly exceptional popcorn movie does come out, the AV club definitely gives it its due. Didn't they all seem to like District 9 last year?

It's a nice balance between the two extremes. It's closest cousin is probably something like Slant and I think that's a better example of

What's more disgusting than a dead baby in a plastic bag?

Agreed, can't stand Korine

And like Clueless points out, the turnover in the news cycle doesn't lend itself to the production time a documentary requires

The best docs are the inherently personal ones, though, so I'd say the absolute tops they can be is an editorial supplement to a news story, not out-and-out reportage

Good call, Eponymous - love that movie
