ever read Sarte's Nausea?

Steven Hyden once leg-wrestled a moose and won!

Yes, you're right. Why and how are different. My point is that surrealism is also about allowing for inconsistency.

okay, but once a person wakes up a bug then there are rules that are broken and introduced.  Who's to say what those are in Kafka's works? My point is that leaving the how and the why out has benefits in some genres.

Comic book historians can correct me, but I think Frank Miller got violently mugged back when he worked at Marvel and lived in NYC and has been pretty much demented ever since as a result. Well, that last part was conjecture.

Read it. Check out Jed Perl's stuff.
Hughes' American Visions (history of American art) book and tv show are great, as is his old docu on 20th century art.

I mostly agree, but I wonder what it is that bothers me so much when authors don't establish or keep rules. Why do I need make-believe to behave?

or the fact that he did this to save Lois, but the town near the giant damn that burst…not so saved anymore.

No. Go read 18th century poetry like a real man.

DIRECTOR: Here, let me take you to acting class with a few movies staring Sam Worthington, Taylor Lautner, and Channing Tatum.

you obviously don't know what fastandsloppy means by "sleeping".

That trailer is really funny. Lenny Kravitz! Ahahahah!

you can't have your innuendo both ways, pal.

I love the surrealism of that movie. I think some of my favorite Hitch stuff is his more surrealist stuff like the courtroom scene in Vertigo. I love this Hitchcock quote: "I try to tell perfectly unbelievable story with such a hallucinatory logic that one has the impression that this same story can happen to you…

Yeah, Hitchcock is one of the masters, and he was always great, right from the beginning.
I remember watching Spielberg's Munich in the theaters and there's the telephone bomb scene that was so close to a Hitchcock moment that I realized that you really can't do suspense in movies without cribbing from Hitch.

if there was no Newswire I'd have about 1000 posts. Something about Newswire makes me post tonnes of garbage.

you leave Kris Humphries alone!

He's a curly-headed fuck!

I mean his docu work. I assumed that Into the Abyss is a docu.

- Conan the Barbarian (2011) - too long, not enough plot or interesting characters to fill the time, not enough T&A, and the big finale isn't all that interesting, but:
- the long opening with young Conan was pretty great and Ron Perlman was terrific and looked like he was half-man/half-yak.
- Momoa is a great Conan to…
