I personally love hating his completely wrong review of Death Race 2000 (which was, BTW, the original).  Talk about nannyism.  "What will the children think?"

This will actually be my first venture into the realm of Cory Doctorow.  I know a lot of my friends have been praising his writing, but I have a much larger reading variety than they do (comedy, sci-fi, memoirs, non-fiction, existentialism, etc), and am a slower reader than they are, so I am only just now getting to…

Move Death Proof to #1, and you have the exact inversion of my ordered list.

I would have given Girl 6 a D-/F.  I can't make it through it.

You're generous with Spike Lee Films.  Girl 6 gets a C-?

Am in a reading frenzy of late.  Last month, I finished up Michel Houellebecq's utterly depressing and amazing The Elementary Particles.  Its really good, if completely existential and cynical.

I honestly don't understand how this is an either/or complaint about the movie.

I keep forgetting about that sequence.  It is truly fun.  It's so much more Landis than Time Out.
