Or Donald Sutherland ramming a cat to death with his head and spinning a child into a wall. My first impulse when the credits rolled was to see if there were any interviews with the cast explaining how they felt about the film today.

I've got your male rear nudity right here:

I also saw it in 2006, and I can confirm that it was a long, long film. To borrow a phrase from the "Shame" article the other day, many "alienation effects" were employed.

My feelings about the movie are pretty mixed, but I don't know that I can agree with you. I'm right there with you that the "New York, New York" bit stopped the film, and that the score is way too maudlin and ruins the impact of the scenes.

It is a funny scene, thought I didn't really buy it, or that his raw, primal energy was attracting the most beautiful women in Manhattan like a walking sex magnet.

This is the first thing I thought of when I heard of this movie. And I actually think Shame was great, but it definitely runs into this problem: Fassbender is awfully good-looking and awfully charming. It's certainly *possible* for there to be a sex addict with those qualities, but it feels a little too Hollywood.

So it was effectively Musketeer Babies.

Agreed. I actually love Oswalt's comedy, but I didn't think this special was all that great. The flow of the whole show was kind of awkward, and there didn't seem to be any transition from one piece to another. Not that an entire show has to mesh perfectly, but it seemed abrupt enough to seem awkward. I also didn't…

"The New Cunt Cannon."

It was pretty fun having an eloquent, witty rascal like Langrish poking his nose around his relatively coarse surroundings, though. Didn't completely buy the friendship with Swearengen, but dialogue between the two was great.

Possibly the most useless feature Netflix has ever rolled out was the "check what people by you are renting" recommendations.

There were about a dozen copies of Dandelion Wine at the location near me. So if you didn't read it in high school, you now have no excuse.

"I like books. I like book marks. Electronics have their place but so do books… no batteries required."

By sheer coincidence, just watched Hardcore tonight after having it on my queue for a while. Sure, it's sad, but I actually kept cracking up throughout it. It's mostly George C. Scott in an array of atrocious shirts (and a terrible fake moustache) spasming in fits of rage at the various sleazebags he comes across. Am…

I feel like Doug was what I watched while waiting for SNICK to start.

Actually…that's a good point. I definitely spent a lot of time with Doug as well, and I know for sure it's a landmark of nostalgia for people my age. But I'm not sure what the appeal was.

I don't remember David Carradine in a dress, but I concur with Warren Perso. Bubby has some jarring tonal shifts, and goes from disturbing to light-hearted and back again, but it's definitely worth a watch.

Get Stephen Gammel to animate the movie. It would be terrifying.

I loved The Fountain, District 9 and don't think there's anything wrong with people not liking The Fountain. I can see how it's divisive, and I think part of that is parts of it are outright silly. But as a whole, I think it's a fun mindfuck, something not quite as out there as The Holy Mountain but still imaginative…
