Wow, I was on a lot of stimulants this morning…

"a tone of character work"
Something was on your mind.

That music is awesome. I'm going to listen to it right now.

Ordered it on SACD recently, I mean.

I bought Tommie when I was a teenface as part of a record club or something… I recognized it as the album where Pinball Wizard comes from. I put it in and was like, "WTF is this shit?" It languished in a box in my closet for a long, long time. And because I'm also a tech nerd, I ordered it on SACD and gave it a listen

Yeah, if you thought it was beating you wtih "Greed is bad," you went in thinking that. I did, but I kept being taken aback by how DDL's character wasn't really always bad. He didn't do any cliche badguy stuff, is depicted as a really hard-working, self-sacrificing guy, especially at the beginning. You get a sense

Oh damn, I wrote a post about police squad! somewhere above in response to something else. But you're right. That would have been awesome to see on TV, but I wasn't really around much for that, and watching it out, I would have missed so much. I just watched it on DVD and rewound a lot. Often because there were sight

Neverending Story
I did not like it at all when I was little and supposed to like it. I saw it again in High School and dug it a lot more.

I fucking HATED the Matrix when I first saw it. Hated.

I was, and remain, in awe of the Big Lebowski. I have no idea why, but the dumpster crash scene is hilarious. Even on the trailers for it, it fucking killed me. Probably because it's understated and anticlimactic while being very realistic. No idea. It shouldn't be hilarious, but it is… the automotive version of a

Yes, the opening scene of IB was awesome. The way the Nazi crushes the man's will, and how you could see the other man's defiance melt to discomfort then to devastated defeat, was about perfect. And while I thoroughly enjoyed the movie from beginning to end, I have no desire to see it again. I did like much of the

You can smell it!

I skipped through his review, I found it funny that he says that he's going to talk about the movie removed from the context of who made it and then spends several minutes talking about Kubrick and his fanbase in a very biased way. Good work.

Okay, I went to the Confused Matthew page… I'll probably start watching it, but because of the frame used as the still for the first video, I have a feeling that he's going to bitch about how long it is. He's going to bitch about a long movie in a 35 minute review of a movie… just sayin'. If it's as good as the Red

GLBTQ kids are way over represented in suicide stats, and for a while, dicks were saying that it was a result of being gay, people who were somewhat thoughtful said that it had to do with the bullying and shitty treatment they got from society. I think that these recent cases that involved a known shit ton of bullying

It really was a shitty trailer— or a representative trailer of a shitty movie (which I'd be willing to bet my cat or a small amount of money was the case). The beginning with the "Electric cars are gay" thing was weak, but then it seemed like they were going to try to revolutionize electric cars, and I was expecting

In the delivery

My malformed leg and I resent your post.

I didn't realize he'd directed The Paper, I think I'd give that one my vote. Apollo 13 is one of my go-to background-while-doing-other-things movie.
