What people have forgotten about this movie is it's actually a remake of Les Vacances de M. Hulot

When people talk about California having no seasons they are generally talking about part of the southern part of the state. It's a very populous area of CA, but it isn't the whole thing. The whole thing is so big that it doesn't have just one kind of climate. It is more than silly to refer to CA as "a state with…

No, but they did have to put up with 1940s Soviet sexist attitudes. (You can't seriously be suggesting that there weren't any, or that they were less pervasive or damaging than what 1940s America had to offer.)

shame on me for clicking on this thinking it would be yet another iteration of "the most dangerous game".

My first guess was that this is one of the chicks that got fired or quit from Destiny's Child, who had then gone and gotten a bunch of non-Photoshop work done and was now somehow attempting to claw her way back into the public eye, with the assistance of Photoshop.

I think it is silly to look at Joss Whedon's work and say it makes any kind of "feminist statement", or that he has "feminist credentials"—- not because I think his work is anti-"feminist", but because it's silly to use the word "feminist" in this context. In most contexts "feminism" is just a Rorschach test. People…

20 was a typo for 10 (the keys are right next to each other), but let's go to Wikipedia and see:

Daniel Craig has very clear handwriting for a mobster.

.. all stupid and stonery about it.

I don't smoke but I'm surprised with each year to find more and more secret stoners in my midst. Not just people my age, but people one or two generations older I would have thought of as completely "square" (not that I'm not).

I liked Andy Barker PI although they were clearly still working out the kinks in it. Harve Presnell was terrific in it. RIP

Putting methodology aside, I take exception to the general mood behind "Freakonomics" related media—- that all it takes to repeatedly come to interesting and surprising conclusions about the objective world is smarts, data, some quantitative training, and the instinct to ask questions that people who were less…

Best avatar ever.

If you like "Race with the Devil", you might check out "The Brotherhood of Satan," a 1971 movie where L. Q. Jones (director of "A Boy and His Dog," immediately recognizable player in lots of Peckinpah movies) and Strother Martin, among others, deal with a demonic manifestation in a small town in the southwest.

(For those who are interested, "Dixie Dynamite" appears to be on Netflix.) But I don't Netflix, and need to know how hard I should try to see that movie. It's one of the few of his I haven't.

I too prefer Shooting to Whirlwind, but both are great.

I liked Digital, but in retrospect, I think most of what I liked about the game was the flashbacks/nostalgia it gave me of the BBS days—- not anything in the game itself. (Afterward I put on some old chiptunes and browsed textfiles.com, and had a similarly positive experience.)

No comment-thread love for Ulmer's 1944 version? Okay, its low budget evocation of Paris is pretty silly, as are many of the accents… but that damn puppet show… and John Carradine's performance. Respect it

Video games are a huge one for me, partly because I've never been all that into them, so most of my feeling of what "normal" is comes from hazy memories of console gaming at friends' houses in the 1980s.
