I loved network for how ridiculous it got, from a pretty straight place. I think it showed how things can change into farce.

yes and no, mbi. Supporting non governmental organizations that provide things like eye surgeries to the local population. Financially supporting the work of feminist humanitarian workers who are under constant threat. They don't show that in the movie, b/c it would be overbearing. But they do show that when…

I don't understand keep on saying it feels inauthentic. Slumdog is a fable, which is made clear by it's structure and storytelling devices. But the trials and tribulations that the young kids go through are based in reality, at least according to my pakistani parents. All the most horrifying parts are real, and can…

that song, and that line in particular, match up pretty well with slumdog millionaire. I was real reluctant to get into MIA but she wore me down.

has anyone heard harold budd's as long as I can hold my breath, the hour long song that comes with avalon sutra? It' s one of my favorite pieces of music, it almost sounds like an orchestra breathing.

The fisting may seem unnecessary. But a couple of nights ago i watched the documentary "deliver us from evil," and the priest in that fucks a 9 MONTH old baby. In real life. It's almost too horrible to comprehend. So fisting probably does happen, when you have the kind of disconnect, that these pedophiles do.

I swore I would never watch happiness again after the first time I saw it. I literally gagged at least 3 times. But I did watch it again, and it became one of my favorite movies. Solondz is great at ratcheting up a character so at first you say, "nobody can be like that to another person, so belittling,…

That clip is disturbing, and really captures the tenor of the movie. What Scott Tobias said about following the victims complex trail is right on. Never before this movie did I understand how conflicted this whole episode is for an alienated, gay kid, as Levitt is in this movie. Molestation is horrible, and it…

The great thing about mad men is that it explores the dimensions of the dissatisfaction
that people felt. That the whole setup back then took what were happy, young,
intelligent, and eager people, and wrecked them. I know it helps me, as a man,
understand the benefits I've felt on account of feminism. When I see how…

adam elliot's previous work is great
I really loved Adam Elliot's previous work, to the point where I bought the dvd even though most is available online. Sweet and sad is the perfect description for his work.

DFW's work, Infinite Jest in particular, for a certain type of person, meant so much. He broke me out of my first depression, he clearly spoke to what was bothering me, and he gave me what I immediately needed to move on. I've met others who've had the book do the exact same thing. He created a world that's so sad,…

He fell in love with Betty
except for watching Joan on the floor, the saddest moment of the episode was seeing young don talk about loving Betty for her sense of joy, and seeing young don so aw-shucks happy. He wasn't calculating about finding a perfect wife, they both got confused once everything started going their…

Directness often comes immediately before forcing yourself to change
I think this episode may have gotten to me because of the directness, and I acknowledge that seems odd for a show whose strong suit isn't bluntness. But before you move on, you often externally acknowledge what's wrong, and that your going to do…

hey dick, you need to watch a movie before you can compare it to garden state. I don't think this movie's got that kinda horrible in it. Not with this director.

didn't anyone look at that b4-4 or ryandan stuff?
Frosted tips oompaloompas trying not to touch each other.watch the interview on ET it's really real.

He Was Licking Meeeee, never before have I loved a name and loathed a comment more. You know, lots of bjork's work after vespertine uses some of the same instruments as Ravenous' soundtrack does.

Wait a minute:
That clip just ridiculed bjork and praised paris hilton. We should be outraged

MANY people get boners for jean weir. Her character always had a sexual energy when talking to Joe Flaherty. I'm so glad to find out I wasn't the only one to catch on to that energy. She was much Sexier than Martin Starr's mom was.

Tool fans are notoriously dickish, though. I've heard they booed Mastadon before they were a big name in their own right, and they were not welcoming of Melt Banana in st. louis. Melt Banana put on a real good show, too, even getting kind of boredomes-y and having a laser show.
