This year I'm making a TurDawesen.  It's Dawes inside of a turkey, inside of a unicorn, inside of a magical gnome, inside Jesus, inside more Dawes and finished with a pan seared side of Dawes gras.

I liked 'Contact' a lot.  A bit long and populated with some stock characters (Matthew McConaughey as a devout priest?  Bwahahhahahaahah.) but overall a well made, well acted (Jodie Foster is really fantastic) film.  I think this is one of the times (for me at least) where obvious, emotion-tugging scenes actually sort…

Yeah, that's really sort of disturbing.

I LOVED 'Hanna' and that tracking shot you're talking about is fucking awesome.  I remember being half way through it the first time and thinking to myself, "shit, he really isn't going to break this shot."  Probably one of the best choreographed scenes I've come across in a long, long time.

The last time I had you two over there was some. . . unpleasantness.

No, ironically it's at the shore.  In November.

Yeah, I've been working on the toast for a few weeks now.  Scared shitless about how it'll go over.  I should be fine.

Hey!  You know what's really super tolerable?  THANKSGIVING!  And my brother's getting married this weekend!  So much tolerability I think I'm going to explode!

I saw it in the theater and after loving Donnie Darko, I expected something great.  Southland tales managed to take two of my most favorite things- T.S. Eliot and Jane's Addiction and still make one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen.

I liked all of I Am Legend.  I don't know why that movie gets shit on because, dumb CGI zombies aside, it was pretty fucking cool.

There is no excuse for 'Southland Tales'.  None.  One of the only films where I've actually been so pissed that I yelled at the screen.  The Timberlake scene made me want to punch a hole in my seat.  I rarely, if ever, get overtly animated about movies but in this case I was all out angry.  What a fucking dumb,…

No shit.  That man has his faults but I'll lay down money knowing some hokey plotline or ending is in store but for the most part I'm content to eat my popcorn and watch whatever he's decided to put up on the screen. The time for expecting him to craft a perfect gem of a film is long passed.  Personally, on a lazy…

I love Garden State and will defend it to my own death.  Grew up about a half hour or so from where the film is set, so I'm a bit biased.  But any film using 'The Only Living Boy In New York' gets a nod from me (and yes, I realize the film takes place in New Jersey)

"When film messes up, it's beautiful. When video fucks up, it's just an ugly, pixely mess."

@ThatWesternSkyline:disqus If that's the case, then it's a shame.  This is a shot in the dark but if any of the moderators or writers happen to read this comment, please think to reinstate his account.  If anything was said that was obviously so repugnant that he needed to be removed, then by all means keep it as…

Yes, please explain.  If you really got banned then that is some fucked up shit. Honestly, you never said anything (to my knowledge) that was worthy of being kicked off outright or would even be considered offensive.  Some of the deletions around here as of late have been way too PC.

This video doesn't have any wizards but for some reason I think it should:  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I'm sorry but I've read a thousand Dawes jokes around here and I laugh every fucking time.  I find the fact that someone registered the name 'That Laurel Canyon Sound' to be absolutely hilarious.

Are we talking strictly breakfast toast here?  Because I'll throw down with anyone who doesn't like some bruschetta with a nice garlic olive oil.

I really like Surf Solar and most of the rest of that album, too.
