Art imitating life: I had a job filming presentations at SXSW interactive two years ago, and one of the presentations I happened to film was from one of the high, high ups at Google. The subject of this presentation was "moonshots," and watching this episode tonight I could have sworn some of the language was lifted

I don't have time to slog through 13 pages of comments, so I'm just gonna ask and hope no one's already posted it. Did Mike by the river remind anyone else of Slim Pickens' death scene from Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid?

The Poughkeepsie Tapes
As long as we're talking about unreleased horror films, we might as well bring up the specter of The Poughkeepsie Tapes, which has yet to see theatrical release despite the popularity of Paranormal Activity. I remember seeing the trailer for it before The Mist and feeling fascinated by the

Stephen King
I feel like the majority of his stories are pretty amazing in conception, but then get bogged down in all his bullshit when he writes them down.

YES! COMEDY ARGUMENT!

I once had a friend say (granted, when he was very young), "there was MUSIC before the red hot chili peppers and there was MUSIC after the red hot chili peppers"

who's the greatest man in town?
I bought "The Black Gladiator" by Bo Diddley this year. I've never put it on and subsequently said to myself "this isn't what I want to hear right now."

I've got a real soft spot for The Getaway. I see nothing about it that makes it inferior to any other Peckinpah film. The shootout in the hotel scene is classic.
