No, skeptic, people aren't still talking about it—least of all me, but you asked and I answered. If you must know, I gave up poetry not for any doubt of my ability or loss of faith but because I don't feel I have anything worth saying in that medium (as opposed to this one) and because I deplore the state of…

Who she should play…
Bonnie McFarland in the 'Red Dead Redemption' adaptation:

"How could anyone prefer American movies to Swedish movies"

'The Reflecting Skin' is a hell of a ride. I don't know if I'd thnik it's any good today since I haven't seen it in like 20 years now, but I'd leap at the chance to see it again, just to be sure.

I 've got 50 things to do but I'll get back to you
That's the song that I think proves how great they could have been. It's silly and bratty at first—a little like the songs Camper Van Beethoven were doing around the same time (i.e. 'Where the Hell is Bill?') that covered the day to day minutiae of the underground…

I don't typically spar with incoherence, but do not misunderstand me—I am not referring to the voice-overs nor using the narrowest definition of poetry—look it up.

Jeez—you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. I've never cared about Pearl Jam—Vedder tries to remain on the side of the fans and gets shit on for it—well what would he have gotten if he embraced celebrity and became a major dick? Shit on. If he smiles he'll be called smug. If he doesn't he'll be called…

Ooh..have I got a new stalker? I have nothing to hide—If you're really serious, you can check out the AU library for unpublished theses that won the Myra Sklarew award or the list of "100 Washingtonians to Watch" from Washingtonian Magazine December 1999. Read it and weep—I sure do.

That is amazing.

'The Lockhorn' is one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time.

I love 'The Thin Red Line'. Not many directors can approach that level of poetry on film.

"It's definitely not the same situation as The War of the Worlds"

The Coppola stories are interesting
Because he reminds me for some reason of John Cazale—as if Koteas would get the parts that Cazale would have played if he were around. I'm sure there are countless reasons why it makes no sense for the one to put me in mind of the other, and yet there it is.

'Looker'—I swear, it has so much potential now that real world CGI technology has caught up with its premise.

'Bridge Over Troubled Water' is so cringeworthy and studenty"

This goes to what I was saying above in a different thread—I prefer Simon for a bunch of reasons, but I don't think he fully realized all that he was capable of until he stopped trying to out-Dylan Dylan. And 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' has a kind of open sincere universality that I've never found in Dylan—despite…

'America' is one of the first to really get the balance right. And a lot of 'Bookends' is top notch, but it's still immature in places.

To return to Sengoku, though 'Heaven and Earth' is a pretty shiny large scale war film set in that era that has occasionally been on the Encore channels. It's good, but it just puts me in the mood to watch 'Ran' again.

I'm pretty sure I had it and played the shit out of it. You have to realize, I was an original ninja and samurai geek from the moment I saw 'Shogun' on the TV.

I don't have any illusions about remaking old Horror films—there are plenty that could be improved upon. For example, the remake of 'The Amityville Horror' was pretty good (even if it suffered from many of the same issues as almost all contemporary Horror films) but that was mostly due to how truly bad the original…
