I appreciate what you're saying, Cookie Monster, and I would wholeheartedly agree if I considered anything I'm up to a "gimmick," per se. It's more of an affectation, and at this point a habit. Frankly, I'd be disinclined to attempt any gimmickry because it would be impossible to measure up to the standards set not…

Maybe they're the ones making "Man-Chop."

Forget the pipe organ film, I want to see the horror movie.
Perhaps they're one and the same - perhaps it's not a pipe organ movie at all, but a tuba picture.

Freebie and the Bean
I do have a strange fondness for that movie. I like The Stunt Man and all, but F. and the B. is such a wacky and entertaining cop thriller, with the scariest transvestite ever put on film, pace Misters Hitchcock and Perkins.

Don't apologize, that trailer was great! I love it when the windsurfer apparently goes over a WWII depth charge.

Is he a hateful homophobe because he has a lady's name?
That might have created some tension back in grade school. But that's dime-book Freud, not worth a paper farthing. Sounds like a hateful sumbitch.

Under the Volcano
A great novel, and one with heartbreaking passages throughout. Such dense and beautiful writing.

The fact is, is that what John Smith met while strolling in the woods was not a heavenly angel offering him the Golden Book, but a Bigfoot which used cloaking mind-powers to make him believe that's what it was. Straight up, a Bigfoot basically invented the Mormon faith out of whole cloth, and on the spur of the moment…

Steve McQueen by a billion country miles.

I like and admire Harlan Ellison in many ways, but I'm not sure he's someone to take tips on living life from.

I love The Dead too, and just rewatched the film this past Christmas. It's a good one for sure, but it's a Christmas movie, so I recommend waiting until that time of year.

I watched The Sword and the Sorcerer again recently and I have to say it bites. I checked out the reviews on the IMDB, and you know who reviewed it? Burl! Ha-Ha! It's a true fact.

Not a lot of people have seen that Bruce La Bruce movie, but I have.

The man called HAM is correct: Goonies is bad, with the constant shouting, and Explorers is far superior, even if the aliens at the end are a little tiresome.

Have some of my hot rolls.

Catch-22 was maybe the first genuine classic novel I ever read, and I loved it and often re-visit it. I was quite taken with The Maid in the Lime-Green Panties.

I'm Sergeant Pepoohsten.

Yes, Danse Macabre has a high re-read value.

I love picking up Lucky Jim (not my name for the old chap, but it would be a good one come to think of it) and plowing through a few hilarious chapters. The Wapshot Chronicle, Catch-22, The Great Gatsby and the collected criticism of James Agee are all perennials.

Man, I do have to admit that this movie, whether it contain boogers, gluniack, penis-breathing or pedobears, is truly the movie I've been looking forward to more than any other for quite a while.
