See also, Dane Cook. Or better yet, don't and just take my word for it.

There's no denying 2007 was a pretty damn awesome year for movies. Nobody's mentioned Michael Clayton which in most any other year would be my top favorite.

I always kind of thought that those threats were nothing more than strong-armed mind fucks to get Wigand to shut up. And the incident that spurred the "bullet in the mailbox" scene is up for some debate because it's believed that he put it in there himself.

The man himself said he feels all of them are about how perverted we all are, which makes the most sense to me.

I love The Departed but Children of Men is probably my favorite of the 2000's, and it wasn't even nominated.

Just talking about the last 25 years or so, Unforgiven and No Country For Old Men are about the only times they've gotten it exactly right for me.

Me and a lot of people will disagree and tell you it's Zodiac but this comes damn close.

I brought this up when The Insider was featured in an article here a few months ago, but that movie and where it sits in Michael Mann's oeuvre is very similar as to where this film sits in Fincher's.

Way over a decade, I think there have been attempts at this going back to the 90's.

They still play her stuff, but just a few songs ("Me and Bobby McGee" and "Piece Of My Heart" mostly).

"Blowin' In The Wind" is hard to this day because while I was learning it I figured out I can't play essential chords for shit.

Back around this time, WWF's bread and butter was more in their syndicated programming so they didn't keep as sharp an eye on what they were doing on cable then. This is early to mid-80's we're talking about here, things would change by the end of the decade when the Turner networks and ESPN were showing their own…

Unrelated, but interesting news for film score buffs such as myself.

It's worse than that, can you actually imagine any self-respecting bikers who would listen to them?

The angle with Bruno was really ahead of it's time, and was very hot especially in the NYC area. The blow-off at Shea Stadium was a milestone that lead to where the company is today.

I TRIED TO TELL YOU. I BOUGHT YOU SOME TIME. NOW DO THE SMART THING. SMARTEN UP. GET OUT OF THIS BUSINESS. GET RID OF THIS CONTRACT. GET OUT OF MY LIFE.

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but a lot of it sticks out in my memory for just being so ballsy in it's earnestness to portray what it's really like inside. Likewise, that all these basically unknown actors would portray these men capable of really awful things with only a shiver of light and humanity left…

The line before his death scene in Rescue Me is hilarious, and I completely forget what it is.

He was on Aisha Tyler's podcast recently, and he talks about them like right off the bat.

Pretty cool. The separation was pretty astonishing.
