Hard to argue with that.

The poster. The alignment of the characters — Law and Tatum on one side, Zeta-Jones and Mara on the other — reflects the initial plot (lesbian lovers plotting against the men who had done them wrong, with Law standing in for Zeta-Jones's ex-husband/partner who left her for a younger woman), and the bar of the cross…

God, what a piece of crap. The twist that Tobias considers "far-fetched but expertly handled" is as insipid as its Cinemax thriller origins. Although it is mildly hinted at in the first act (and, actually, in the poster), it doesn't really develop until the third act; this is after a second act in which Jude Law…

This is actually a really bad movie. I can't go into much detail here without spoiling it, but let it suffice to say that it takes an interesting topic and turns it into a lurid mess. 

How could those two have been forgotten? Wish I'd mentioned them….

This merely means that you are joined by Monarch and Helper in your incredible wrongness.

"Bring the Noise" and "Don't Believe the Hype" from It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

+1 for Hot Buttered Soul.

Nope, you're not alone. I saw too many friends smoke themselves into furniture and realized "this shit ain't for me."

As hooky? Maybe not. As good (and indeed better) than "Limelight" and "Fly by Night"? Absofrickinlutely. As in the entirety of De-Loused and Frances.

De-Loused and Frances are Pink Floyd-level prog rock genius. It's not until the later albums that they become some unpleasant mix of Rush and Jethro Tull.

Mars Volte, actually.

I saw Dan O'Bannon speak after a showing of the film about seven or so years ago. The audience was largely women, and O'Bannon  noted the film's fan base had a sizeable female component, more than he'd expected for a horror film. Noting that men tend to love Linnea Quigley's nude dance, O'Bannon said that had he known…

I once had an argument with a relative who insisted that the film was based in fact, that some kind of contamination had spread in a major American city and that the government had to nuke the area to stop it. "It's against the law to just make stuff up like that," he said in all earnestness.

If it had happened after Frances the Mute, yeah it would have been terrible news. Since that album the band has thrown about song ideas without any sense of structure to guide them. I don't think it's a coincidence that Mars Volta's two best albums (De-Loused and Francis) were concept albums, albeit obscure ones. Once…

Except in the part you've quoted, Rabin doesn't do that; he describes the emotions he sees in Kennedy at that moment. Or to put it another way, Kennedy could appear to be sad, confused, frustrated, drunk, empty, defeated and broken while waiting for his cue.

"Big, dumb" seems like an awfully apt description of Roth and EVH's guitar playing. It's not the fret-wankery per se, it's the lack of any depth to his playing or the band's songs. Van Halen is to rock music as keggers are to parties; they can be a lot of fun but there's not much there beyond the drunken rowdiness.

My point is that interesting sounds are all EVH has to offer. Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Mick Taylor, et al. were more subtle, more emotional players than EVH, more flexible, more diverse. EVH always seemed incredibly impressed by what he was able to accomplish technically that any thought of expressing anything seems to…

David Lee Roth has a crummy voice but he's not a bad singer; he knows how to use his strengths and limitations.

Why did Tyler Perry find her distracting?
