Richard Rush
He was a great B-movie director before he made The Stunt Man. Try the incredibly offensive, incredibly awesome Savage Seven as an example. It's essentially a biker movie crossed with a pre-Alcatraz Native American rights film, and the conflict between the portrayals of the Native Americans and the bikers…

Challenge Accepted
Wait… wrong website.

I like Piper as much or more than anything else they did, but it's a different version of the band. And not in the way that their last albums were led by Gilmour and not Waters, but I mean a completely different approach, which was because Syd ran the band, and it was a mirror of his personality and ideas. Listening…

I *don't* let them tell me what to do.

Last Rites is what you're after.

It's right up there with Ringo's work on Shining Time Station.

BIG 'OL SPOILER…

Theresa Russell didn't seem to age for about 20 years. She was still hot in Wild Things. Criterion should release a version of Nic Roeg's The Witches.

3 Idiots
3 Idiots is a great movie. If you have the chance, check it out. It's very funny, and also a serious (yes) look at suicide among university students.

Neil Marshall on Line 2.

A push present is a gift you get when you push out a kid. The new father gives it to the new mother.

Crater Lake Monster is awesomely bad. Aside from a great tracking shot — using an already existing set of mine tracks — of people running out of a cave before it collapses, there's absolutely nothing good about this movie. The editing is so bad that you have no idea how long a span of time the film actually covers.…

"These guys were tailored for commercial success from day one. I think this is a pathetic attempt to revise history. I doubt anyone ever put a gun to his head to force him to record or tour. "

Rock On, Tommy Shaw
If you want a true, hilarious story of rock and roll, watch the Styx Behind the Music. It's awesome. I've always felt sorry for Shaw, who seemed like he signed up for a rock band that got pushed into pop and album "concepts" and away from rock, weed, and wonderful destruction. Best line from the…

The Late Show
While all three of these are masterpieces, The Late Show is the one that needs its reputation revived. Art Carney is one of the greatest badasses in cinema history in this. Watching him beat the shit out of a much younger, stronger thug or removing his hearing aid so the gunshots don't bother him as much…

Holy shit. I got a reply from ZMF. I feel an intense honor. Seriously. Olga Kurylenko is fucking great, and so's West. Kurylenko's wrath as she chops that Roman's head off is a beauty to behold. Fassbender has to carry the film, though, and I think he does it well, esp. w/his face in a bucket full of piss.

Ahem.

More great lines:

Sorry about that.
