Just get Sam Riley, dammit, dude needs more work.

One of the funniest things about this whole digital vs. film ordeal is the fact that DSLR cameras are becoming really, really popular to shoot on because everybody says the image "looks like film!" I don't know what it is about these Nikon and Canon cameras, but they have this weird digital grain structure that looks

I agree with what you say about blowing up 16mm to 35, and I'd take it one step further by saying that I love the idea behind the conversion process of a movie like Julien Donkey-Boy. "We're gonna shoot on MiniDV, transfer it to 16mm, and THEN blow it up to 35. Brilliant!" It's just such a willfully obscure and

Excuuuuuuse me, princess!

Nobody has answered the question that is on everybody's mind… Is Kuribo's Shoe back?

Yeah, I'd defend her… WITH MY COCK!

You know, I like his movies except for that dang nervous fella who's always in 'em.

I'm a defender of High School High. I also happen to be kind of stupid. These things go hand in hand.

I'm a gigantic Terry Gilliam fan, but I am embarrassed to say that The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen is on a very short list of films of his that I have not seen. In light of this, that will be corrected immediately.

I did the exact same thing with The Simpsons arcade game, and now at the age of 22 I think that I would do the same goddamn thing.

I really have to wonder if the age group this movie will be marketed to even knows about the Rampage video games. Wikipedia says that the last game was released in 2006, which wasn't that long ago, but that may as well be a million years in little kid time. The series was still pretty popular back when I was 10 (1999,

Everybody should see The Parking Lot Movie, a great PBS-funded documentary about a group of people who work at or had once worked at this one parking lot in Virginia. It's just really awesome to listen to all of these overly educated and overly self-reflective go on and on about what working at this parking lot means

I can only imagine that most of the people involved in the making of these movies knows that they're stupid. They know what they did.

I like how he kept referring to it as a "plan." "I'm going back to the first plan!" *smacks Charlie in the back of the knees*

"Cartoon" is great just for that very subtle shot at a then recently broken up Black Flag and collapsing SST. "If you think we'll rise above, you better look around." That's a really clever putdown.

Hey now, Soul Asylum were, once upon a time, a very good band. Kinda like Husker Du-lite. Check out Made To Be Broken and Hang Time when you get a chance.

I'm sure you already know this, but the same lineup of Zevon + R.E.M. also recorded Sentimental Hygiene, which is the bombdiggity.

I was gonna say this but you beat me to it. I've always taken the robin with a grain of salt and viewed it as a shot at the artificiality of "happy endings," especially in a 1950s context where so many movies end on an inexplicably blissful note. Sure, on the surface everything is fine, but that robotic robin

Oh trust me, I've got the two-disc unrated edition with extra sink-smashing.

Even though I hated it, at least the Allen Ginsberg biopic "Howl" tried to go outside of the box. The movie was a goddamn mess, like it was trying to be three or four different movies at once, but I still remember it much more clearly than "Ray" or "Walk The Line." If only more movies were as daring.
