@tibber A good director making a tribute to old school (well oldish) = House of the Devil.

1991 changed my music , for real
That was an amazing piece of writing, thanks Steve.

is this sarcastic, talking about Acid house and limp indie? I was a rock fan in the 80's as a young teen (in the UK) and was about to turn 18 when grunge broke.

I have to second one of the comments above, Sudekis' dancing guy in tracksuit makes me laugh every time, no matter how tired the idea of the skit is.

Kanye killed. So many musical acts are a bit limp or just plain annoying, like Kesha and Katy Perry. Kayne did a great job.

In context
It went down well in Mainland China here, because it shamelessly plays to the usual nationalist types. Look at the model civilized traditional Chinese man. He's got great kung fu, he's polite and humble. His house looks like a Chinese culture museum … and so on.

The Prestige's supernatural element undermines the other story (Bale's). I'm assuming they were meant to inform each other or comment on each other or whatever. Doesn't work.

I had a Black Hole themed lunchbox in the final year of elementary school. Tron was the clear winner though.

Ocean's Twelve, yeah … but Vincent Cassel is great so I watched it. Unsurprisingly, he was the only good thing in it.

The Keys
Bets moment in that episode is when Jerry and George are at Elaine's door and Jerry gives him the convoluted reasoning for why it's Ok to enter her apartment.

Saw it
Yeah, good cast, the two stunts were great, both the jump between the cars and when the van crashes in and takes that guy out later. They had genuine surprise.

Unbreakable
Every movie he does these days, or has something to do with, makes me depressed because I liked Unbreakable so much.

The lit establishment
New wave sci-fi like Ballard or, these days, bizzarro fiction is where it's at. Or indie comics like Sword of my Mouth.

Kung Fu
It'd have to be some famous period of Kung Fu history.

Oh, someone here who knows Douban. Weird. Do you recognize my avatar then? It's from the final CD by Lava | Ox | Sea, "Next Episode: Lord Smart vs Dr Jin."

The Fatal Flaw
The fatal flaw in those works, and most is there utter failure to realise the basic meaning of the war and its history, despite the obvious big facts being known to them.

Hirschberg/sneering journos
Hirschberg's piece is a good example of a certain type of person in writing or politics.

ARE YOU PROFESSIONAL OR NOT?

Fuck stupid BBC hosts
I dunno, if someone takes the piss out of you to your face then you should tell them to fuck off, in one way or another.
