Interesting that the more interested in the technical aspects of cinema you are, the more likely you are to:

See? While people did call Elvis "the King", did anyone ever call Bob Dylan a "jester"? I don't think Mick Jagger is actually Satan. That would be bobby bowden. And that is just if you allow interpretive nicknames. It's like you're unraveling the meaning of a huge cableknit sweater-like song… that someone keeps

I don't know about you, but I remember back in 89, whenI used to work as a henchman for the joker, we used to break into museums and paint stuff all over the art and people thought it was HILARIOUS!!! Well, some people did. Not Batman though… But damn, he had some wonderful toys.

I remember its popularity. Not sure why that should make any difference. Popular movies don't always (often) equate to oscar wins…

I don't know that you can look at someone who is in that position and try to apply "normal" behavioral models to them. The guy has been accused of a horrific crime he didn't commit, and he is clearly expecting the nightmare to end at some point… and it doesn't… it just keeps on happening… you would have to develop a

Yes, he acted weird, but that weirdness was certainly in the category of suspicion. I mean, he gave the filmmakers a knife with blood on it, claimed it was deer blood, and then changed his story when it was proven to be human blood. Sorry, but if you DON'T point that out then you're being irresponsible. That's more

Does it romanticize small town culture? I'm actually seriously asking. To me that song was written in such a secret code that clearly had a very specific meaning to McLean I just assumed that there wasn't a single word or image that meant what it actually seemed to mean… "jester stole his thorny crown", "satan

Given what the guy went through, I have a certain degree of respect for him. Being "likeable" should not have any degree of influence on a criminal proceeding. I don't care of he's mooning the victim's families, if you can't prove anything with evidence, then you can't throw the guy on death row. A lot of actors and

I did a lot of stupid crap when I was 19. Hell, I can't think of a single decision I made then that I'd want to live with for the rest of my life. I can't even imagine trying to navigate the minefield he had in front of him with the resources he had, both internally and externally.

To be fair, they didn't focus on Byers because he was acting weird. They focused on him because he gave the filmmaker's a knife with human blood in the casing creases that seemed to possibly match the wounds they were claiming were from Damien's knife, and the fact that, when a forensic witness claimed that there

There is only one possible answer… Chicago. Treacly, warmed over, over acted in that "musical" way that makes me hate musicals. And it came along at a time when everyone sudden decided "oh, let's give musicals a chance again" before 9 and that one with the shouty lady who won a best supporting actress Oscar for

Thank you! This category was freaking made for Lucas. That scene ruined the movie for me. The idea that the kid would get in the game, and then that the other players would chase him around instead of being in the huddle.. It was clear the makers of that film had never been to, and probably never even seen, a football

Sorry, but there is no reality in which katy perry can be described as "talented" or this song as anything but "tuneless caterwauling". Tits don't excuse her "music"

It would have to be Stone Rose's Second Coming, wouldn't it? Although a similar thing seemed to happen to a lot of British bands… great first album, then they realize what they really want to be is an American r&b band, so we get a follow up missing all the melody and full of soulful attempts at gut bucket riffs. I

I'm sure you're right. But at least I've been able to hold it at bay for awhile… and she'll still have 'star wars' and 'godzilla' in her oeuvre. Its already started, actually. Out of nowhere, somehow, she was somehow inundated with princesses. I have no idea how. It's like they hypnotize these kids…

I have a 3 year old, and I have been pleying her music since before she was born. I actually made a cd for her trip home from the hospital. The first song she ever heard was 'Lips Like Sugar'. To this day, if she's upset, if you play that song she calms down. I have tried to show her things that are not just kids pop

I've never seen the show 'friday night lights', so i can't really judge it, but chalk me up as someone who absolutely loves the movie. I think it was the best film of 2004, and one of the best films of that decade. I'm sure the series is fine, maybe even great, but as the subtitle of this article implies that the

I'm not sure how you knew him in 1993, but I completely believe that there are emails from Compuserve written in the early 90s just now reaching their recipients.  I'm telling you, technology and democracy… two complete failures
