Howditgetburned, while awesome, unfortunately overshadows what I think is the best line in the movie, and I can't believe it made the final cut of any movie, even one like this.

Who's More Grizzled?
Announcer: Category is Religion

Probably "Substitute", live and studio are both awesome. And "Athena" is so much fun.

I open my own hotel!

M.I.A./Oliver Stone

THIS! IS! FAILURE!

Vikings are cool
they kill people

The Title
A reference to the nuclear-themed talks / treaties between the U.S. and Soviet Union? Frankly, I'd rather see Nixon running around and jump-punching people off of walls, Quaker or no.

ray winstone and ben kingsley reunited? pretty sweet.

It's a predator, predator, predator, predator world

Blast!

If it firsts
we can kill it.

Burton
Still has good work to do, most likely. He literally can't stop doing remakes, though, which is unfortunate. Was Big Fish the last original idea, or Corpse Bride?

I'm an LCD fan and haven't exposed myself to genuine dance/electronic music all that much (apparently the two go hand in hand, according to this thread), but I don't get the LCD hate. If an album isn't your thing, that's fine, people move on. Maybe it's because it got an A? I guess it's because every critic refers

Oh yeah, I hadn't made that connection, although that could be said for probably >50% of the book. Actually, now that I think of it, Lucien Antitois' being murdered by the AFR and his surreal return to his childhood as overly literate was one of my favorite passages in the book.
