Fast, Cheap and Out of Control is actually one of my top five favorite films of all time, let alone the 90's. I remember seeing it for the first time and being absolutely gobsmacked that, by merely interviewing four obsessives, Errol Morris has come the closest to articulating humanity's entire reason for being…

Damn, of all the brutal deaths on this show that was probably the most brutal. The shot of Kaylee on the swing and the look on Mike's face knowing that he has to hightail it out of there without saying goodbye to his granddaughter is just… damn. Also, this entire time he knew it would not end well with Walt but his…

Every time I watch this scene, when they cut to the puppies it never automatically registers that it is a dog feeding her litter. Through a combination of the pervasive squelching noise and the black-and-white cinematography, I always initially register it as a bunch of mice gorging on a carcass which somehow makes…

You add plus douchebag to minus douchebag, and you get like, zero douchebags.

You hate Mickey Rourke?

The scene wasn't even scripted; Palin just showed up and started shooting deer and small children.

Dude's name is T-Dog, so you're actually less racist than this show!

Shaun of the Dead had a (kind of) happy ending. Sure most of the characters we've come to know over the movie are dead, but at the end you get a return to the social status quo in which the zombies are tamed and kept as pets/second class citizens.

Stop.

One of the key lines of dialogue in the finale is when Gus is preparing to execute Tio and he asks "Is this how you want to be remembered?" regarding him supposedly ratting out to the DEA. Its a question which is at the core of this show and its existentialist underpinnings. It applies to so many of the characters'…

Mm-hmm, yep, sounds about right.

My roommates were in the room with me, doing various things, as I was watching the show. They had never seen an episode of Breaking Bad before, but when that bomb went off and Gus walked out they stopped what they were doing and just stared at the screen, jaws agape.

My reaction during that scene:

Wes Anderson's "The Stupendous Jesters of Westover Hills"

Well… yeah. At least it was better than "Good Day Today" which was the musical equivalent of year-old expired milk. I might just listen to the album for the whatthefuck novelty of it and be inevitably disappointed when it turns out to be so boring.

I'd be inclined to agree with him. I don't think its a bad movie but I am always confused by the vast amount of praise it seems to garner. To me it just seemed like an average crime film with a twist ending.

His Great Movies column is sort of like that in that he goes back and writes about films he feels are worthy of the column title. The Big Lebowski and Blade Runner are both films he initially gave middling reviews that are featured in the column. Though as far as I know he still hates Brazil for some reason.

While video games are threatened of becoming stagnant and bogged down in brown, cardboard first-person shooters I still take umbrage that it can't have any meaningful impact on the human soul. Besides, what does storytelling have anything to do with art? Can't sublime game design be art in and of itself? No one is…
