i was a bit skeptical when i first heard about it, but it is possible for a director for hire to add their own signature to a film. Cronenberg did it with The Fly, for instance, and it sounds like Refn did so here.

Valhalla Rising was one of the best movies of the past year.

sounds Tarkovskian. which is a good thing.

yeah! fuck, you asshole!

yeah, you guys are just threatened by a successful woman! how dare you not treat her and every other celebrity with the proper reverence!

NPR, even? man, when the backlash hits, it's gonna hit HARD.

sorry, but Keyhole sounds pretty awesome. plus, it sets up what has to be the easiest porn title joke ever.

…why?

"dreams of being a glamorous waitress". this makes no sense. if i understand you correctly, this is not a joke but an actual plot point?

looks like i got my answer below. thanks guys!

Lydekker is Karla Ha Ha, right? i need to update my flowcharts.

i really kind of wish both Clooney and Matt Damon would go away for a while. not forever. just a while. a long while.

Wings of Desire is very fucking good. so is Paris, but those are the only two of his i've seen.

yeah, a friend of mine sent me that on mp3 before i had seen the movie and i found it really catchy, like if Wire had been racist circa-Pink Flag.

guess we'll have to take the Jag.

you're defending Madonna. Madonna. think about it for a second.

i'm more bothered by the fact that you expect "serious or substantive comments" about fucking Madonna.

is it another concept album? i did like the new tracks but maybe they need to cool it with the concept albums.

The Endless Blockade!

so, uh, Whitney Cummings. we hate her, right? i mean, i wouldn't know, as i don't follow standup very much.
