This argument can only be made with 50 First Dates and You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

And this is why Liars is the best of the bunch.

Here, they are safeguarding British cinema, not so different a purpose.

The right snacks are Funyuns, you don't need a whole article to tell you that.

The plot always seemed to me an excuse to get to the character stuff.
It is gripping, tightly constructed, and has enough regular doses ownage that it is immensely entertaining. But there are so many things that I'm going to assume do not really bear too close scrutiny.
To be fair, I don’t know much about the drug…

The Straight Story is worth your time, if not very Lynchian.
If you want to dive in, Lost Highway is very good.

I haven't seen it since it was released (I miss living in France, pretty much anything will get a decent release), and hadn't really thought about it since then, but the discussion on gay cinema a few days ago made me remember it.
I won't try to argue it's a criminally overlooked masterpiece, but it was indeed a very…

I haven't seen it since it was released, but it was very good. I'm not even mad that you didn't pick Blue Gate Crossing or Fucking Amal.

They have their "Behind the scenes"/business interview series for music, they should make one for movies as well, or just extend the Random Roles to really anyone (editors, DP, make-up, etc.).

I still need to catch that.

I know Man Man has been in studio recently, but have they actually announced a date?

@avclub-eee10e3b1f440f8e5dde6138c35e4a4b:disqus , well, she's learning.

Or region free dvd player. You can find sets of his movies for very cheap.

Isn't it a lot scarier to know that someone who looks like this did that instead of the blood thirsty animal some would have us believe anyone who has a problem with the US is?
