I wonder if Isaac Bashevis Singer would get all pissed about the assumed title appropriation if he were still alive, the way Ray Bradbury got pissed about Fahrenheit 9/11?

If this is the gateway
to finally getting "Buckaroo Banzai against the World Crime League" then I'm all for it.

Event Horizon is Solaris filtered through Clive Barker on an ecstacy binge.

I saw this in the theatre when it came out. I remember liking it, but feeling that alot of the more philosophical bits of Lem's novel, and to some extent Tarkovsky's film, were jettisoned in order to fit a love story narrative. I saw it as a romantic drama with science fiction trappings, sort of the way that Outland…

Ok, Jewbacca made me laugh.

Rogaine!!!!

Eponymous D, Jazz, the Blues and Hip Hop, are really the only ones that are pure American (and African American, to boot) Country is a derivative of Bluegrass, which is really just Irish and Scots reels filtered through Appalachia. Folk is likewise derived from British, Irish, and African American sources. Rock and…

But, the Italians were definitely following a template that the American form created, and Kurosawa was heavily influenced by John Ford. He took a lot of shit in Japan for not making films the Japanese way.

Even a survivor that didn't survive?

True rpgibbs, but not funnier than Cinderella actually covering "Big Yellow Taxi."

Was Cinderella doing a Joni Mitchell cover?

Ah, yes, Wikipedia, the new "somebody told it to me on my driveway".

No thanks, I just flossed.

Yeah, the New Zealand film commission probably has no knowledge of imaginary film projects. I wonder if Goldblum is going to do another Colbert appearance this week, to bookend the rumor?

So, was Crash the Jethro Tull of the Oscars? Discuss.

Well, I guess it was this or the cage match.

I like Reign of Fire too. As dumb action/monster movies go, it's pretty entertaining. And McConaughey's bad-ass military guy turn is one of his most hilarious performances, and I'm pretty sure I mean that in a good way.

Maybe a Quest for Fire remake?

I pretty much agree with Denby about Amistad. As a "serious" Spielberg film, it doesn't really measure up to Schindler's List, Munich, or Empire of the Sun. I don't think McConaughey is particularly good in it either, merely adequate. Hopkins was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. Djaimon Hounsou was pretty…

Is League really the last movie Connery has made? He used to be in roughly every fourth movie released for a stretch of time there. What happened?
