Oh man, Hader as Treadwell would be gold.

Stoked they are doing Jiro, that movie was dope. Ten-year internships!

Yeah, I knew I was never going to see this movie so when the AVC first mentioned it (I feel like it's been reviewed three times here but I think it was just a notice from a festival and a Coming Distractions for the trailer) I went ahead and read about the ending and WOW does that shit sound dumb.

Yeah, he better have a pretty great rebound film, though. He's on the cusp of irrelevance, and I'm sure many would say he's already there.

I would disagree re: Savides because I don't think cinematography has much to do with Van Sant's bad movies being bad. I think your comment implies (and I would agree) that "Restless" was bad, but Savides shot it. Van Sant has only made two features since (haven't seen either, both look bad though).

Close Encounters is the obvious one, but ET rings a bell too.

Yup

Great story. We all will miss him, in a very future-tense kinda way. I've had to fight back the feeling tonight - no, not a feeling, a WORD - and the word is eulogy. Kept fighting it. He's still here. I'm OK with The Tragically Hip ending. I'm not remotely OK with thinking about Gord being somewhere else. Sorry, I'm…

As I said in other comments here, I'm just a casual Hip fan. Never heard "Fiddler's Green" before in my life. I was really excited that the show was streaming but the timing meant I was going to miss part of it no matter what - I had to take a shower and shave.

Word, it's nice to see that every once in a blue moon we can all just be - heaven forbid - mildly serious about something.

You gotta be kidding! Please tell me you flirted with Gord at the punch bowl………

Thanks. That's sort of what I'd gathered from context. I grew up in Minnesota so Native American culture was definitely around me but it was still the whitest place on Earth. I'm always curious to learn a little more.

I loved Midnight Special, and I think Jeff Nichols has basically a perfect record thus far. It was obviously inspired by some films that came before it, but I still found it really compelling and moving. This very site had a fascinating interview with Nichols around the time it came out, I highly recommend digging it…

"To Live and Die in LA" is dope, love Peterson especially his line about "You want bread? Fuck a baker". Jesus Christ.

Have you seen Dead Man's Shoes? It's a great film and I think it was pretty much his start. He got cast only a couple weeks prior to filming when the initial guy got fired/dropped out/whatever.

That's an interesting bit of trivia. Do you have a source? Not challenging you, just curious.

I think Twin Peaks is the best TV series ever made, so my opinion should be taken with many grains of salt. But I say stick with it, and hopefully its layers will start to make sense. The soap-opera factor is definitely intentional.

So glad we have spoiler tags here now. Why this site was ten years behind iMDB on this front is mystifying.

Alabama Shakes is pretty good at what they do, even if it's not my cup of tea. But seeing Brittany Howard sing live, damn that must be something. She is a powerhouse.

"DJ" is a term that always needs clarification. If you're the "DJ" for a good hip-hop group, ok. If you're the "DJ" at a "nightclub" where idiots pay $50 just to get in, that isn't in the same universe. The former has turntables, records and an entire genre to study. The latter has a laptop, an iPhone, a cocaine habit…
