D.S. al coda or GTFO.

That t-bone solo on Sublime's "Wrong Way" is a thing of ska-bliss beauty.

"Run to the hilllls (of pussy), run for your liiiiiiife (and the pussy)"

"Overly surprised guy!"

I still remember the first time listening to that and when Jaybles comes back in with the slightly frustrated "mmmmmm'k, he's a little shy", and I lost it: I knew exactly where the song was going and I loved it.

"Wonderboy" still ranks up there as one of the best epic-bombastic rock songs, imho.

I'm sure I'm an outlier here, but my favorite movie of the 2000's is the director's cut of Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven". So much greatness there.

Michael Clayton is a great often-overlooked movie. The cast is impeccable and the tension builds so well.

Not to knock "12 Years", because it is very good, but "Schindler's List" is an unparalleled masterpiece.

I think ultimately The Social Network falls into the trap of other films based on actual events, where you're left questioning the authenticity of certain scenes. Sure that last scene is pretty damn great, but in the back of my mind I was thinking, "yeah but there's no way the real Zuckerberg did that".

As much as I respect Boyhood and Tree of Life for their cinematic audacity and powerful presentation, I'm in no way itching to see either again. The Master and Her are far more re-watchable: also Joaquin Phoenix can do no wrong. He was easily the best part of the formulaic We Own the Night.

I always find it vaguely funny when I read the comments from Mark Zuckerberg on FB nowadays: it's basically him turning into Bill Gates - everything is purely populist, humanitarian, "we can change" the world stuff. It's funny because this persona could not be more different than Eisenberg's scheming, vindictive

It would more likely be something like "Take Me to Church's", about wanting to get a fried chicken dinner.

It doesn't help that the singer is clearly reaching out of his range to sing the chorus on the original: it's also just generally grating and poorly-produced.

Well, at least "The Raid" got a sequel…

Sidebar: was anyone else as infatuated with the niece they interviewed who looked just like Kathy Durst? It was like she was there in the flesh: and I can see why old Creepy Bob wanted Kathy…I still don't get it the other way around, however.

Is it just me, or did the phrase, "well that's it, you're caught" seem to be even more of an admission of guilt than the final phrase? It was like him basically admitting to himself that the jig is up, and that all of the lies are about to fall apart. The "killed them all, of course" is just the icing on the cake.

I like it: I think they should get Dustin Hoffman as Durst though, I think he could tackle the voice easier.
