I was a big Ray Bradbury fan growing up, so I don't know why it took me so long to get around to it, but on a recent night I read "The Whole Town's Sleeping" and it just scared the living shit out of me.

Guitar Riffs
Earworms don't have to have lyrics. The champion of all earworm guitar riffs - "Breakin' the Law".

"Girl U Want" is the one that gets me. Sometimes it seems like DEVO's entire musical output revolves around creating earworms.

800-588-2-300 Empiiiiiiiiiire.

The Rock's Arms
Is it me or does it look like The Rock got back on the juice again for this movie.

I was wondering how this movie would handle the elephant part of the story. Seeing as how it's pretty widely known now that elephants are treated like shit in circuses, it seems odd that they would choose this particular story to tell.

Miller - Sometimes I think Walter Hill's greatest accomplishment is not only making Ryan O'Neal tolerable, but actually getting a good performance from him as a tough-guy criminal. The scene where he destroys an orange Mercedes just to fuck with someone is fantastic.

Television
Someone needs to put together a collection of the best of his television work, because he did a lot of it early in his career including a TV movie version of "Rashomon" which I am now dying to see. I'm also curious about "100 Centre Street". Is it any good?

The Morning After
Okay, since you asked for underrated, I'll go ahead and stump for "The Morning After". It's a great character piece disguised as a tawdry sex-thriller. The photography is beautiful and he captures that mix of sleazy and glamorous that seems to personify L.A. It is very steeped in the fashions of

For some reason I always feel like Burt Lancaster doesn't ever get his due as a movie star. It seems like when people are talking about the greats of all time he doesn't always get mentioned, but I think he should be.

No Cult?
This is listed in Roger Ebert's Great Movies (which is what got me to see it) and while I know that hardly means there's a cult around it at least it's getting some of the recognition it deserves.

I'm only posting this…
…because I want that Community Sucks guy to reply to me.

I saw "Images" recently and I really dug it. It's beautifully photographed and just creepy enough without going over the top. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes somewhat trippy, surreal movies along the lines of "3 Women".
