    i never heard of them, you weren't joking

    Man, he can write though…Even this review for Jack and Jill, which doesn't seem like it could have any rationale, brings up excellent, and specific points about ethnicity in America. As an immigrant myself, I read the review with interest, because it did focus on an element of ethnicity that is unique to a person

    Do we really want our generation's John Wayne? A communist witch hunter?Gimme fucking viggo mortenson any day.

    not anymore. now anyone could be a shithead.

    the show can be pretty funny nowadays, and bill hader, fred armisen, kristen wiig are extremely funny in everything they do away from snl, and there pretty funny on there as well. I actually don't dislike a single member on the cast now, but it's not enough to make me watch it most weeks.

    Riff Raff, your very right about Chris Farley's sweet, empathetic sadness, and that Matt Foley and the Chris Farley show are absolute examples…
    and I think that this whole counterculture/conservative argument is illustrated through it. The other "conservative" on the show with farley was norm macdonald. Both of them

    MBS, I swear the only thing you have less of than impulse control is any genuine insight. Or at least, the need to stop for a second and tell me why Elvis Mitchell Suuuuuucks. He's a bit of a kiss ass, sure. But he's a smart guy that can devour and entire body of work, and place it in unusual but fitting context.

    I think Jesse thorne from sound of young america likes it…I forgot until just now, and it's good

    He had a great interview with Elvis Mitchell on the treatment, but that's a half hour show. He's an intelligent thoughtful person, and it comes through there, but Elvis has such a nuanced, original viewpoint in his asskissery, that artists love him. It's like James Lipton, if James Lipton was a genius.

    catherine hardwick has a real ear for dialogue, and understanding how people, especially teens, talk. Of course, she always goes into apeshit melodrama with it, but it does add texture to otherwise hysterical movies.

    i loved speed racer.

    I liked "O" well enough…and I don't think shakespeare should be treated with kid's gloves… he's become so much part of the cultural landscape, that it's impossible to tarnish his legacy…

    Kustarica and Bernal?
    I would love to see that, even if it was there version of Ghosts of girlfriend's past. I didn't realize Kustarica had done so much since black cat white cat.

    @ he convinced me(personally)
    Reading about his suicide, it sounds like it was connected very directly to his struggling with medication. It sounds like the Nardil did help him in that it let him get perspective on life.

    I do like Jennifer coolidge a whole ot, but in one episode ken marino admits to being hit in the face with a rake, and jane lynch's reaction was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

    I really liked bubble, probably more than any other soderbergh movies… and he's produced really good stuff the past few years, roman polanski wanted and desired, i'm not there, michael clayton.

    I don't know all about this "wasting talent" thing… it'd be one thing if he had great songs, but he was putting them away instead of this stuff. I'm sure every artist hits dry spells, and that it's comforting to at least go back to do hack work. Most people here have probably written inspired, insightful papers, and

    Oh I don't think he's in favor of it, just b/c he explicitly says he is at one point. He was making an argument about how easy it is to confuse an issue in the abstract…and how that abstraction can make you give up…but then when you look at the human drama underlying that abstraction, common sense comes into play…but

    winnebago man, I like vaughan as Dean Martin, or honestly frank himself, if size doesn't matter… if race doesn't matter, what about Irfan Khan? Put some whiteface, the ol' reverse ghandi. He's got the face and the range for it, I think.

    yeah, they mostly like pointing out hypocrisy and being topical… Nobody's mentioned that this week they point out that somalia is partly as horrible as it is b/c of international abuse (toxic waste dumping)
