I'm hoping that this will be the career killer if for no other reason than he'll quit trying to be a director, so all the great books he apparently owns the movie rights to will go to real directors as opposed to some some hack who thinks he's John Cassavetes. Which isn't likely, but one can hope.

Robert Wise will return from the grave and haunt all these motherfuckers. Like in The Haunting.

This looks pretty Dreyer/Tarkovsky (Dreovsky?)esque. I'm there.

This month is gonna be insane for metal/hard rock/etc. In addition to Intronaut, we've got new Kvelertak, Nails, Batillus, Ken Mode, Clutch, plus new Meat Puppets and Mudhoney if you feel so inclined.

Whatever, The Running Man is awesome. Yaphet Kotto!

I had a classmate in college, a male classmate, who among other things had a photo of Britney Spears on his binder and a facebook album of pictures he'd taken of Aaron Carter in concert.

God dammit, try just a little harder you fucking crybaby trolls. Fuck.

It's still the best of the "strange things happening underwater" movies that came out in the 80's, and I will fight anyone who says different.

Days of Heaven?

Two posts already about the Peter Weller movie. This is why I love the A.V. Club.

Morrissey is an Ohio State fan?

sticking just to directors of the films I've mentioned, right off the top of my head, Lumet's The Offence and Polanski's Macbeth come to mind. But I'm not really complaining mind you, I own the Stagecoach and RB Criterions and will likely get this at some point.

Why do they always have to do these when I'm broke? Granted, that's always nowadays, but still.

I wouldn't have thought this, or 12 Angry Men, or Stagecoach or even Rosemary's Baby would really need the Criterion treatment, but whatever.

Bullshit.

We all agree that this new comment format sucks, right? Just checking.

FWIW, I have no trouble conceeding that DDL and Christolph Waltz are awesome but I'm also not sure how I feel about them having this much Oscar success when Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole have nearly 20 nominations between them and only an honarary Oscar to show for it. I mean, at least with Meryl Streep and Jack…

I do kind of like the fact that Ben Affleck now has exactly one more Oscar than Matt Damon does, even if it meant having to give Clooney another one.

Being as I am entirely unfamiliar with 99% of his work, I really don't know if I can get behind Ang Lee having this many Oscars.
