All caps. For the new 'Reader's Digest' version of the AV.

Oh, alright: Spoiler's alert re: The Conversation.

Thought you were talking about the Hines brothers. Now that was touching.

The doc. about the making of it actually more interesting than the final product.

Guy did the Godfathers, Conversation, Apocalypse Now, plus was the forerunner of the indie movement with Rumblefish. Who cares if he spends the next forty years firing blanks?

Looking forward to the scene according to the Voice where the dancers laugh at a Bolshoi blooper reel - tired naked whores desperately getting comeuppance on true artists.
(sort of like when Lennon used to do parodies of Dylan and Paul while walled up in the Dakota with Yoko).

She's not really that funny, but how many tall attractive black women comedians are there (other than RuPaul appearances at swap meets)? She's got the market to herself.

Ah, read the Voice for it's better-written reviews, or AV for its more interesting comment section? Always a toss-up…

More of a theoretical technician than an exciting filmmaker (let's homage the Oceans movies, let's put Clooney in a 40's war film, etc.), but still worthy of respect.

Oh, yes, ElizaBro, all those cute answers in interviews - how daring! Like they did anything beyond boyband acceptability before listening to Dylan records and their dentist spiking their drinks with LSD.

Elizabro, but those Beatles albums you mentioned also have a weightlessness from the generic 'happy/sad' quality of the songs - 'It's gonna be alright' and 'let it be' as Vietnam protesters are being clubbed and villages are burning - while the Stones chronicled what was actually happening in the world ('who killed

Sure, if you erase 1963-65, you princesses can eyeroll all you want.

If Beatles means yuppie lifestyle music (which about 90% of it does), I'll take arrested development.

How with your avatar name could you forget Arsenio Hall? And Tavis Smiley is pretty good (his Robert Blake interview was amazing).

HOLY FUCK THIS MOVIE WAS THE MOST BORING THING I'VE EVER SEEN
(Gary Oldman was like watching three week old meatloaf on a shelf.-No, that's actually more entertaining. Almost considering boycotting Rises for him and Hardy being in this soul-killing dreck).

Not as much as St. Vincent ruins key changes
(how dare Aimee Mann not write shapeless, heroin-dazed tripe!).

Yeah, and then it's as if the definition of rock had to be matching chipmunk harmonies and suits and feeble chiming guitar thanks to the Fabs. Ain't never caught a rabbit and it ain't no friend of mine.

Stones (white English band also steeped in southern music)

Elvis didn't sing no pussy songs about Octopus' Gardens or Penny Lane neither (tried to have the Beatles deported, God bless'em).

I fixed his gameboy at SNL by inserting batteries. He's not bright, but still likeable, I guess.
