She looks just about ready to star in an Ann Coulter biopic.

…and Richard Wagner.

If nothing else, it had a great trailer:

Anyone wanna talk about Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III? My recollection of that one was that it was more of a re-hash of the first movie, only with some elements tweaked to make it nastier (the boyfriend getting his ankle snared in a steel trap; the girl being nailed to the chair rather than just tied, etc).…

I recently saw The Keep on one of Foxtel's movie channels. Very weird picture, and not just for the story (WW2 Germans vs a murderous Golem in a Romanian fort?). It has that commercial/rock video sort of vibe (like Tony Scott or Russell Mulcahy). And I liked the music. But story-wise, it seemed really disjointed. I…

Would I be right in thinking that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 was never released in Australia until the DVD came out in 2007? I don't believe it was ever released on VHS. I remember when I was a youngster, making my way through horror movies from countless video stores, and being baffled as to why TCM 2 eluded me.…

Could Grey Gordon do a duet with Green Gartside?

If we wanna get really pedantic and remember that Angus MacLise (not Maureen Tucker) was the Velvet Underground's original drummer, we can say that 3/4 of the founding Velvets are dead.

The unedited version of that Marvel logo used to show up at the end of earlier 80s cartoons like The Incredible Hulk and Dungeons & Dragons. Here it is:

Oh, not even we poor Aussies could escape the reach of "Two Princes." That song was everywhere. Made it to #3 on the singles chart, in fact.
The folks in the remote areas might've avoided hearing that song, I dunno.

Bill Simmons wrote what is probably the best summation of Eddie Murphy's career: http://grantland.com/featur…

Right, I remember now. Bit of a shock ending, as L&O episodes go.

My memory of that episode is a little hazy, but didn't the prosecution's case fail because the raped schoolgirl was too mentally disabled to recognise that what happened to her was rape, and she said she was glad it happened? Something like that?

Michael J. Fox seemed to cop a fair bit of flak for Casualties of War, but frankly I think Fox is fine and it's Sean Penn who is annoying in that one. Although Penn was pretty good when he worked with De Palma again in Carlito's Way.
