I've heard of a bloody mary…
…but a bloody Gary?

Witchfinder General
I just saw this film for the first time a few nights ago and was blown away. I haven't seen many of Price's films but he is truly a treacherous and dispicable villain here, and the climax is shattering. The fact that the story is rooted (albeit loosely) in real historical atrocities makes it all…

I haven't seen either film but plot-wise they sure sound like the same movie. Here are their respective taglines:

I think you're forgetting Molson beer. But Cronenberg's a close second, and Mike Myers is a distant 983rd.

I disagree. To really get into GBV it's best to embrace the patchwork nature of their proper albums as the band races through ideas at a breakneck pace. If a half-baked song or snippet doesn't quite connect chances are the next one will. Alien Lanes is the best place for the uninitiated to start, an album that…

Te gustan mis pantalones? Son nuevos!

This is why we need to shield young, impressionable minds from movies and rap music.

Line-up suggestion
Comedy Central should pick up "David's Situation" and partner it with "Michael & Michael Have Issues".

Let's just hope there aren't any grating Jello Biafra cameos on this one.

Who would win in a fight
Rabin or Klosterman?

Eh, it's a novelty band name that might gain them initial notice, but not the sort of name one might imagine being eventually inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Which we all know is the ultimate arbiter of a band's significance.

Spoon is so good at what they do, I would be surprised if they put out a bad record. It's bound to happen eventually, but what a streak.

I don't get all the continued efforts to combine bacon with every other foodstuff known to man. Bacon's zenith is the BLT and it will never be topped, so why bother? It's like trying to come up with a better use for ketchup than as a french fry condiment. Instead let's try to find a purpose for things that taste…

Yeah, I was hoping it would be about a supervillain who uses archaic expressions like "Blast!" and "Curses!" when his plans are foiled.

I'm also a chanting and clapping enthusiast, and I likewise enjoy an occasional virgin sacrifice/bake sale.

They were arguably the biggest band in the world when Conan made his Late Night debut (back when he could only dream of showcasing such a band), so perhaps his eventual drive to the Tonight Show throne was prompted by an intense Pearl Jam fanaticism. I really can't see any reason why their appearance tonight would…

Why are they both wearing hats?
Are they making a concerted effort to distance themselves from contemporaries like Men Without Hats? Are they concealing enlarged, super-genius craniums?

Listening to bands you're "SUPPOSED" to like simply for hipster cred or whatever reason is pathetic. But I think I know what you're saying.

Soderbergh is probably the only director working today who can effortlessly transition from indie films to big-budget Hollywood fare. Gus Van Sant was in an equally enviable position a few years ago, until he remade Psycho and pissed people off.

Bob Charley!
