Henson's early work is fantastic. There was an exhibit of this stuff at the Museum of the Moving Image last year, showing Time Piece and all those really violent coffee commercials he made. Really great work.

Monster Cable is the ultimate proof that shelf placement can truly impact the success of an average product. I'm utterly baffled that people pay that much money for a cable that you can get just as good for 1/10th the price.

Fuckin' failed pralines…

So there could have been two Lolitas, one for each Humbert?

I was surprised to hear that Walken was in one of these, considering how young he looks in Annie Hall, which is over a decade later,,,

Daniels (replacing a miscast Michael Keaton) and Farrow are both great and I love how perfectly he captures a certain kind of 30s adventure film in the…

Maybe it's because I love this film and Rian Johnson's work in general, but I really enjoyed this back-and-forth spin approach to Scenic Routes. It would be fun to read other filmmakers responding to how the writers here interpret their choices.

The whole idea that the "city" is a composite of all major cities is genius.

You should dance with your kid to All For Swinging You Around!

I love The Bleeding Heart Show but I got sick of it from those University of Phoenix TV spots.
