So, wax Tom, it's NOT the ultimate movie musical. Because the Lion King is better.

That was an incredibly strong pairing between the interview and this review. I can't believe this even got distributed, let alone such good promotion. Hopefully it shows up in my neck of the woods.

Damn. He'll be be making Cronenbergian face-melters in no time.

"Just might be the next big thing… won three emmys… found dead at 23."

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because there were promising directions for a serialized plot in the pilot that had little purchase in this episode? Maybe because that might make for some more interesting and rewarding viewing, possible because of the prospect of character development? Figure it out, you little mathematician!

You don't want to go there, Elrond.

They should put that down as the AP4 tagline:

Stop Making Sense is one of my favorite movies, and it's not just because it has an amazing band at the center of it. Demme did some spectacular work with it, adapting to their style and emphasizing their artistry.

Saw the teaser on the Onion as well. Demme is the man, and this is a solid interview. Good work, Sam!

Fuck anyone who would replace Bogart in any of his roles. And @ Uncle Rifle: Maybe the minus is for the difference in goodies depending on the format. DVD reviews aren't just reviews of the movie, you know, but also the quality of the release.

It was pretty procedural this week, but that's all up there in the review. We can only hope they start moving on the overarching plots. In any case, it's still better than L&O and CSI.

It will be a grand day for Newswire headlines when the inevitable orgy ensues.

As for your claim that Mr. Anderson should avoid action sequences, I can only point you in the direction of The Life Aquatic, perhaps better regarded around these parts as Mr. Murray's Fantastic Freak-Out Scene.

The latter. I don't have a good argument for it, unfortunately, but I just like Sanjuro better. And for something done more hastily than Yojimbo, it still has more than its fair share of monstrously amazing shots and uses of light/darkness on black and white.

Meh.

Look, there's a solution to this. Just register "Not Logged In" if you want it all to yourself!

In the novels he finally blows up the Sarlacc, though.

And then you fucked them both back at your parents flat, after plying them with spiked milk and other drugs?

I approve of this use of Old Gregg. May you have other equally fine opportunities, and not wear out your welcome by commenting where your shtick loses luster.

Given the fact that Santa Monica has expressly said not to expect a sequel, they should also have had Kratos go all American History X and curb Zeus.
