SS, check out "Sebastiane" by Derek Jarman. The story of St. Sebastian (supposedly, I don't know shit about that stuff) but filled with sweaty - actually naked - grappling soldiers in the desert… plus it has an actual story(!).

Enough with all the "Apparently the new movie…" Is there any safe haven for those who aren't spoiler obsessed? It's fun reading everyone's comments (I learn a lot), but it's starting to look like I'm going to have to bail on this pretty soon, since there will only be more leaks in the months to come and more geeks who

Uh, I'm pretty sure the fusion DC was referring to was between Shakes (high) and Trek (low). Not that Shakes didn't regularly play to the groundlings, though (they paid their ducats too).

I still haven't mustered the energy to watch Requiem for a Dream again yet, genius though it is.

Quoting Evel, Lego is already plural, dammit. Well, no. Lego is a brand name, by definition a noun. In the phrase Lego blocks, "Lego" is an adjectival noun.

Miawallace, that's a great story. Thanks!

Winslet had me at Sense & Sensibility.

For all the copious nudity, it's not even all that hot.
