All the Albuquerque locations closed down earlier this year.
Making it all the more unlikely I will ever be able to rent a subtitled copy of "Detruire dit-elle" in time for the Wrapped Up in Books discussion.

Or even any place to buy it or rent it on DVD? The thing is hard to track down.

Dude, you are awesome for posting that. I know there are versions online with English subtitles, but they all seem to require handing credit card information over to potentially dubious bit torrent websites.

Excuse me, "closer to fascist states." Not "closet."

This sounds all right
but I would rather have seen the first half of ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY.

1. The first movie started off dealing with the warmongering legacy, but this one didn't follow up on it well. Here Stark is, fighting Vanko specifically because of that legacy, and yet he never addresses what he or his family did; his atonement is more of a kind of weak well-now-I-stopped-doing-that-so…

At the same time disco was dying in the U.S., it was being reborn in India.
The early-1980s Indian disco scene was just amazing, and though the Bollywood movies that came out of it (DISCO DANCER, NAMAK HALAL, DANCE DANCE, et cetera) were generally less-than-perfect or even terrible, their soundtracks are among my…

IRON MAN 3 could change my entire argument, especially as this has been planned to be a trilogy. As it stands now, the failure of this movie to address and own up to and atone for Stark's family's warmongering legacy (even though that's Mickey R.'s character's whole motivation), and the failure to resolve the whole…

Good point, sir, though I think will be lost on most viewers who will take away only Stark's perspective. I do think you have a valid case here, especially if it's all setting up something between Captain America and Tony Stark in the Avengers movie.

I will definitely be reading this. Thanks for the comments.

Just saw this last night
after listening to this podcast, and I pretty much agree with the comments about its politics being little more than a broad, noncommittal cynicism.

This sounds like a perfect companion to another book I've been reading,
A CRIME SO MONSTROUS: FACE-TO-FACE WITH MODERN-DAY SLAVERY.

I love movie theaters
and will always go to them. To me, that's THE way to see movies. This article is like all those post-9/11 eulogies for the Death of Comedy, written just because late-night comedians were a bit somber for a couple of weeks: that is to say, this article is completely shortsighted and unrealistic.

AV Club!:
Are you going to let us know what the book after this one is going to be? (Just so we can all have it ordered and ready?) Are you still going to post that poll?

Good casting.

CONTROL was my favorite movie of 2007, and yes I know THERE WILL BE BLOOD and NO COUNTRY came out that year. This article buries that lede among others, like, for instance, "ON THE ROAD is finally being made into a movie." It could be good if they let it be what it is, but if they try to force a plot, it will fail. …

Just as long as they don't interview the guy here afterward.
That last interview with him remains one of the most unbearable things to ever appear on this site. And I'm not expecting much from this movie, seeing as its director considers THE (GODAWFUL) HEARTBREAK KID to be a classic comedy.

I am ready for the book club poll now.
I really am.

Except I'm not embarrassed by liking Arrested Development, and I still love The Smiths. But I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments. Maybe this feature ought to be just monthly so the topics can vary a little more. And I really prefer the ones that provide good leads to good stuff, not just lists of mostly crap…

Salieri, are you me?
