Factotum is awful.

"Fuel…"  When he realizes he has gone into the wrong room, so he raids the refrigerator, I love that scene.  He really is a human seagull.

"Why did it have to be Eddie?  … His - Obviousness!"  Man alive I love this movie. Anytime I get a bad vibe off someone, a dude usually, that's the specific - his Obviousness.  It's the only thing in the whole movie that bothers Henry.  Why isn't this a Criterion release?

Re:  Jodie Foster.  They showed a clip of David Carradine with a noose around his neck, and you couldn't see his hands, and he was being judged.  Damn.  Little Jodie Foster saved him that time, but damn, it's not like she could always be there, you know?  Damn.

The first flaming barrel I remember seeing - or at least registering as "from someplace else" was in Rocky.  The Street Doo Wop singers ("Take it back, doo doo doot do, Take it back…") were standing in the freezing Philadelphia cold around a flaming barrel, with nothing better to do I guess.  I was 12 or so.  It made

The "point" of the KFC suck off in Killer Joe was, to me, to show that these people had gotten themselves into some serious trouble by soliciting a murder for hire.  The father and son started by listening to Gena Gershon in the first place and were played by her every step of the way, including pimping out Juno

Speaking of - this new movie - Anyone else feel weird about going to a box office and saying "One for Mama"?  I can't do it without turning into Ethel Merman. 

Bring it down and salt the earth!

She of the rocking body and a titty full of milk?

Yeah, there is something about that guy.  He is all Leading Man handsome, but I just can't ever place him as the Hero in a story.

1.  I wonder if, after Lana's book was published, if the bread sales from the bakery dropped off some.  2.  Lana not getting the abortion was a little bit hard to swallow.  Seemes one of her closeted spinster friends would have done her a favor and pushed her down some stairs or something before she came to term.  3. 

Wow!  or Whew!  I really thought this was going to be one of those "I just don't get that guy," moments, where everyone loves an actor and I just don't get him.  He was okay in a Party Down episode as a loser young republican frat boy, because even though it was comedic, he played him straight.  I haven't seen Book of

I do to.  I think of it as a movie of regret, remorse, and trying to make up for being an asshole.  Warren Oates is so perfect as the loyal friend who turns out to be a person and not a sidekick after all.  Just really good story telling, the kind of movie that reads like a great short story. I am sucker for movies

Not ME!  I ain't pretending shit!  PS:  Built ya a little fry house!

Is everyone forgetting the Dennis Hopper sequel?  That was so horrendous it was awesome.  Great Texas in the 80's double feature with True Stories.

Man, you really hate gene Simmons.

That new movie - Gangster Squad - looks like a Dick Tracy movie.  Josh Brolin looks just like Dick Tracy, and Sean Penn looks "enhanced" somehow - digitally or prosthetically - in the commercials.  Plus, it looks to have a comic strip mentality.  I can't help but think these two releases are related.

ONLY four?  That's a lot of fucking CHUDs.

Go away then.
