Wait a sec… Frank aside, what happened to the sub's captain? Waita get s0me poor bastard who's just doing his job killed, Losties!

Or maybe the horse invades Colin Farrell during a scarring sequence in the buggery factory. We'll see how much you like horses then.

That's a man's job, Stingo. You could lose a finger.

I really dig "Shake Appeal." I realize I'm probably the only one, and I'll grant that it isn't much of a *song*, but that riff is fucking killer.

Fun House, motherfucker
Raw Power is real good, but Fun House is the greatest rock album of all time. Discuss.

I much prefer Ron, and Dave Alexander on bass. With Scott on drums they just sound like rock n' roll cavemen or something, kind of primitive and wild and garage band-y, while the Raw Power band is a little more slick, though a lot of that's the production

Sure, current music CAN be as good as the old. But it isn't.

"Planet Terror" is the closest I've ever come to falling asleep during a movie. At some point, fighting to stay awake, I suddenly realized that at every point in the film I knew exactly what was going to happen, like I'd see it all before a thousand times, and at that point I feared that perhaps my brain had been

Did a lot of great things…
…but the first thing that comes to mind is that he drew one of my very favorite Batman stories, "To Kill a Legend" from 'TEC # 500.

Meh. Even if the art had been by Dave Mazzucchelli or somebody real good, B+R issues 4-6 would still have been intensely mediocre. The writing simply wasn't up to par. Of course, I think that the latest issue (# 10) is the first one I've actually liked since the first issue, so whatever.

Not to be confused with "Blackthorne"…
…which was an awesome, very bloody Interplay console/PC game from the mid-90's where you wandered through vast dungeons with a shotgun and could infamously waste the slaves chained to the walls. I miss that game.

Just as every cop is a criminal
and all the sinners saints
as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'cuz I'm in need of some restraint

Finally!
Been waiting to see this since Scorsese talked about how great it was in "A Personal Journey, etc." Nice to see Mason cut loose, use his schoolteacher voice to great frightening effect. And every Ray film should be in the Criterion collection already, dammit.

Our battle, our struggle, is to create art. Our weapon is the moving picture. Because we have the moving picture, our paintings will grow and recede; our poetry will be shadows that lengthen and conceal; our light will play across living faces that laugh and agonize; and our music will linger and finally overwhelm,

Very disappointed…
… that this has nothing to do with "Greenberg the Vampire" by J. M. DeMatteis and Mark Badger.

I should probably point out…
…that Peter Brook went on to direct a (really excellent, albeit extremely stark and unforgiving) film version of King Lear in 1971, with Paul Scofield. It's worth seeing. I don't know if you can get it on DVD anywhere.

I remember when I was 15 I had a crush on this goth chick on the bus but she was into like Slayer and shit so the only thing we could talk about about was how we liked Daria, and that wasn't much of a conversation.

I liked that Garbage song. And the video. I think I had the album for a while. May have even listened to it once. Shirley Manson would have been my eight year-old self's dream babysitter.

Know what I love about Sonic? The way he waggles his finger at you on the title screen. That was cool.

Just thinking of the pathetic lengths Sega has gone to in order to make Sonic seem hip nowadays just makes me shake my head with disgust.
