The Idiots, which I figure is the one Hurwitz should remake. Boss of it All is just a third-rung Office.

Bertuzzi . . .
Bertuzzi was just the NHL's benevolent t-800. In destroying Steve Moore's career, he only prevented the emergence of another Jarkko Ruutu/Matt Cooke and saved the careers of untold good hockey players. Nobody ever fucked with Markus Naslund after that.

That guy was interviewed on the daily show about ten years ago.

Elie Wiesel . . .
. . . was concocted in a lab by Oprah (and International Jewry) so people too stupid to comprehend Primo Levi could finally read about the Holocaust.

Ummm, well they call it Kamistan, and the wife is a Benazir Bhutto clone, but yeah, if you only pay attention to the fact that they don't yet have nukes, yes, it is Iran.

So in 24's version of Pakistan…
…Giancarlo Giannini is the president, and zombie John Cazale is his brother. Interesting.

you saved the day ZMF
i listened to this before a pretty daunting law exam that i hadn't adequately studied for because i had decided to watch crank 1 & 2 instead. needless to say, it calmed the nerves not already muted by the three or four shots of wild turkey in my system. keep up the good work!

It's screened on TCM once or twice a year

Obligatory secularist rebuke: Last Temptation of Christ and the Gospel According to St Matthew are far sadder and profound than the Passion of the Torture Porn.

Most Tears Per Minute
Kes, easily. Good god that movie is phenomenal but a real tearjerker.

This Guy Is the Mickey Rourke of Literature
Everybody loved him, inexplicably, in the 80s, then he disappeared and nobody cared. Now he's back and we're supposed to pretend to care.

High Rise…
…is a fantastic book, and it's ripe for cinematic adaptation, but I suppose Cronenberg's "Shivers" indirectly hits some of the themes.

Dom Deluise's postmodern fiction is far superior, in fairness.

I will call you out for saying that CM has "hits and misses." What are the misses in his oeuvre?

More underrated Delillo: Endzone

HE WAS INNOCENT
1) golddigging woman had it coming
2) dude produced all things must pass

MST3K for sure
Final Sacrifice is the apex, especially the riffing on that Rossdower fellow. Also Robert Z'Dar's face in Future War and Soultaker (accompanied in the latter by Joe Estevez).

Question of Quality
In the previews, it looks like Henry Gibson plays a role as an elderly inmate, which might augur well in any film that didn't have Rob Schneider to counter-balance Gibson's underrated comic genius. In any event, I am too lazy to confirm this, so I'll just assume he's in it and doesn't make up for…

Question
Is there anything in this book related to his affair with Mr. Ross, and their intimate correspondence?

Older angry Fela is more exciting than the Africa 70 stuff, but I love them both. I might also select Water No Get Enemy, or, continuing in the tradition of long epics, Conflict's "Cruise."
