I don't know about anyone else, but I'm incredibly relieved to see that they are clearly much older than me.

I used to think that Anthony Keidis was one of the worst lyricists ever to front a multi-platinum rock band, but the "Alternative Nation" and "THEN: That was what they called music" columns have really opened my eyes to how mind-blowingly inane some of the shit that caught on with American really used to be. Really,

@wolfmansRazor - I don't think he's engaging in debate about the film Inception, I would say that he is smugly dismissing it. His central argument - that Inception's "dreams" are nebulously defined and bear no resemblance to real-life dreams - is a valid one, but the snarky asides ("…like a Hannah-Barbera background

I am too hungover to type. That last paragraph made no sense.

I was disappointed too, but keep in mind that it's the Coen Brothers so it's like anyone was pressuring them to water it down. They're at the point where they can do whatever the fuck they want. If there's none of the brutality or gore that would afford an 'R' rating, then I'm sure it's because the Coens didn't need

^ pretty GOOD, that is.

It was pretty. But if it had been any other two actors, I doubt I would've even made it through. Which speaks very highly of Murray & Duvall but very poorly of every other thing in the movie.

Ben Stiller was good, but he was so overwhelmingly, spirit-crushingly douchey that I was just sort of depressed by the end. I also didn't like how the movie seemed to suggest that it was a "happy ending" that the two leads ended up together, when really it's just the continuation of an unending waking nightmare for

Uncle Boonmee is like the dictionary definition of an "art film." Occasional beautiful moments, but it definitely makes you work and wait for them. And anyone who says they "get it" is probably lying.

Other movies that have been PG-13: The Dark Knight; Lord of the Rings 1-3; Taken; Inception; Bourne movies; Casino Royale.

And, yes, I could just not read it, but it's linked to on rogerebert.com just taunting me to read it.

Jim Emmerson is a contrarian asshole. When a movie comes out that popular or well-received, he seems to get off on making everyone know how much better he is than them for liking it.

I understand Balls' concern. Many of De Niro's movies have indeed sucked hard upon his namesake.

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE ADS AMIRITE?!?

"Roderick Jayne's foreward to the MILLER'S CROSSING/BARTON FINK book of scripts"

Fake voices
I do not believe Dolph Lundgren can since with such unaccented pitch and volume. The beach is not overly convincing either.

And instead of applauding, the audience members should just shout "first" and loudly quote the Simpsons.

No Kanye-bashing?
His album is universally LOVED by EVERYONE. This is the juiciest opportunity to blow everyone's minds with pop-culture contrarianism ever!

Nicki's is the best if you're talking stand-alone performance, but it could really be lifted and put into almost any song and it would be just as good.
