Change that grade to…

The moment when Michael Moore really lost me: The moment in Fahrenheit 9/11, just prior to the invasion of Iraq, that depicts that country with some shots of children flying kites and playing on a playground. Slightly disingenuous.

I remember her being pretty wooden in Rabid. The only thing I remember enjoying about that movie is watching Santa Claus getting mowed down by a machine gun.

….well, "Capitol" does, if we're going to get nitpicky.

AV Club Primer on Southland Tales: Just What The Fuck Is Going On Here?

What. The. Fuck.

I have no interest in this conflict.

Though in Manhunt you got Brian Cox sounding creepily aroused whenever you off someone in a particularly gruesome way.

What? No current picture?
Lovely and talented—but I was sorry to see we didn't get an updated image of the interview subject. Well, not that sorry—I like to remember her looking exactly as she did as Lois Lane.

…wait, what's the Aronofsky-Rand connection? I'd heard Atlas Shrugged had been kicked around, but never heard his name attached to that. I know Pi, Requiem and The Wrestler have nothing to with Rand. That leaves…The Fountain?

Peaceful games
This sounds and looks pretty awesome. Reading this review made me think back to games that eschew violence for a more "peaceful" approach to gaming—which I realize usually translates to problem solving (Myst, Katamari, Ecco the Dolphin…I'd add SimCity, except I always thought of it as Sim Old Testament

This thread has convinced me to become a monk.

I have no idea who this guy is, but I like his taste:

My vote's for Crossfire: The Movie. A post-apocalyptic thriller where everyone wears gloves with the fingers cut off.

Having Hoffman in it actually makes it look even more like authentic, amateur porn. That is one sweaty-looking motherfucker.

This is why I stopped reading CHUD. Well, that and that eye-melting web design. God that shit hurts to look at.
