Running, burning streets. Burnt alleys, standing in doorways, dark corners, always night. No one there. Silent, empty, people dying. No one, bloody dying, no one. Oh, I've seen it.

Bloody right!

Yeah, surprised not to see Brown in this primer.

"…the great American novel, even though he's not a real American"

I love me some disgusting, depressing films but Philosophy Of A Knife
was the rare one that got turned off unfinished at my house (it's
ridiculously long and I didn't see it getting any better). There were
some very gross parts, sure, but I didn't care about anyone in it, and
thought the style of the film (somewhat…

Even at this late date, it would seem that no one has suggested Tim Roth's excellent debut The War Zone. While the ending is (I think deliberately) somewhat ambiguous - they don't come right out and show the brother and sister shag - it's certainly implied that the cycle of incest is going to continue. It's an…

It was more that the sheer panic of imminent death was conveyed so well. Like a nightmare. That awful about-to-die dread. I found myself short of breath the first time I saw it.

Was that a follow-up movie or something? Because my last memory of Hawkeye in that final episode was him being completely gone. My teacher had the class watch this in Grade 5 and I haven't seen it since, so…

How about the ending of the tv series M*A*S*H?

Nights of Cabiria is sad, yet resilient. It's a hopeful ending.

Does Richard Gere delivering babies constitute a happy ending?

Did anyone mention Miracle Mile? That was a punch in the gut.

The Seventh Continent was probably the closest a film has ever come to pulling my heart out through my throat and squeezing it until it burst right in front of my face. I stayed in bed for days.

"I wonder, dear Walter, whether I might convince you to continue the manufacture of your very lucrative blue methamphetamine?"

I had been imagining some sort of death camp sequence where we see Gus do something really horrible and nasty, and it's obvious by the reactions of his own men that he is feared as being beyond the pale. The same sequence would have to juggle that horror with his untouchability; I suppose a subordinate following up…

We know Huell is involved in the poisoning, at least to the extent that he lifted the ricin cigarette off Jesse during the pat down at Saul's office. In for a penny, in for a pound?

Ah, but he was killed by a *rug*.

Oh man, I laughed until I wept watching 6FU's last episode. Dying of boredom? Dying of fright? Good on them for following through on a theme, but man, did some of that stuff look ridiculous.

I threw those nancy boys over the side, and for a second there, it looked like they were having sex with each other.

I blame Matthew Barney.
