You are correct that there is nothing like Cronenburg's Crash . It is a singular accomplishment in cinema, in literary adaptation, acting etc. It convinced me to try reading the book, but that was a mistake. Best to let the movie stand on its own.

I recently started watching Mad Men and am part way through season 2, so not too far ahead of you. Would love to chat about it, but you will have to remind me of what happened in "The Wheel" as I'm not good with episode names.

"Boring accounting" is hardly redundant, I'll have you know. Boring accounting certainly exists, but it is by no means the only kind!

I especially enjoyed the part where they became 3D, and Sandy was just a normal squirrel and the rest of them had superpowers. Lots of live-action ridiculousness, with the boat becoming a food truck and then driving down the street, while also having working cannons. The unexpectedness of it was fun. Also, if I…

I liked it a lot too. I went in knowing nothing about it except the title and that there were aliens and a guinea pig. My kid was really confused and thought this meant there would be exomorphs in it. Anyway I had no idea who the voice actors were, was unaware that this was based on a book or anything, and I…

Oh my goodness! I hope you feel better right away! If you don't mind my asking, do you know how you got it?

Massive spoilers for anyone who hasn't watched It Follows yet.
My husband's interpretation of the movie was that the nerdy friend did sleep with a Detroit hooker, and that eventually the curse tore through all the people that would have slept with her and so on and was following them in the final scene of the movie.
Al…

I am sorry. My family and I are waiting for my mother-in-law to pass as well. We're tired of seeing her suffer and I keep hoping to get the call that she has passed overnight or otherwise before the nursing home staff even realize it.
In conclusion: I hope your aunt is comfortable or at least not in any pain and I…

Once you begin losing those you love, the Christian formulation of heaven certainly begins to sound better than its alternatives (such as reincarnation, as I used to believe). When I was a young adult I thought I was brave to insist on believing that we will never encounter our dead loved ones again (it's just the…

My mother said she saw some of the filming (I thought she had said it was in Florida) and wanted to se the film. She didn't manage to get close to Mr. Banderas, but was interested I seeing the movie because he was in it. And seeing him goof around was fun, I'll admit.

Finally got out to see the Spongebob Squarepants movie yesterday. My
husband and I were worried we wouldn't like it, since we really like the
show and all the trailers were hitting the fact that they get to be 3D
and out of the water (hell, it's even in the title). So I was kind of
surprised that there was this…

I love Bee and Puppycat! I wish they'd give us some more episodes. I love it because I am Bee. Only married and with a kid.

All this time I've been using my two foot long maglight for home defense. I should've been using my frying pan all along!

I was thinking Another Brick In The Wall pt 2 myself.

I've been told repeatedly by servicemen that most people keep their TVs on all day, regardless of whether they are watching it or not. They tell me this because I have mine off and apparently this is odd. So yes, they likely are "watching" from the moment they get home from work until they go to bed, and the…

I am a little annoyed at this, because I got a babysitter for tomorrow to go see this movie at the ONE THEATER IN ALL DETROIT that was going to show it. It's in actual Detroit. Going there will be a pain in the ass. Now I learn that I could have waited a few weeks and seen it without such a long drive. I'm glad it's…

I love VOD too, but the problem with that and parenting is how the little rugrat drifts in during scares. This happened during a recent viewing of Housebound, for instance.

Perhaps you would like a peanuts butter sandwich with that?

I would support this, as long as the celebrity voices all belonged to the Reno 911 cast.

I feel a similar level of concern. OTOH, there have been many episodes I have watched where I have felt like they could have done a good job fleshing out their story if they'd had more than ten minutes to work with. And they do have story arcs through the series. The trick would be to pull a bunch of small-ish…
