I only remember one line from that movie, and it's Sizemore's - "I want to see your brains."

"It was drilled into me as a child that if I were to smoke a marijuana cigarette, I’d be sucking off hobos for crack money within hours."
See, if the "Get High On Yourself" campaign had made a PSA  of that scenario, maybe more of us would remember it.

Or punched the same daughter because she won an Oscar?

Is it just me, or do BOTH guys in that picture look like Sizemore?  Although clearly the fellow on the right is the "real" one, the guy on the left could have been him when he was younger and thinner.

plus both Scotts…

I feel that way about NATURAL BORN KILLERS.  Not that Tarantino's a bad director, but I love the style of NBK so much, it's in my top ten of all time.

It's a pretty good movie when all is said and done, but it does feel like Scorsese and Schrader going to the TAXI DRIVER well one time too many.  However, it does have one unbeatable element - Sizemore taking a baseball bat to Marc Anthony.

DREAMCATCHER had some interesting moments all right, but it is a terrible movie.  I remember it all too well…

uselessbeauty  Channing Tatum is what happened.

Don't gonzo at home, kids.  Thompson and Wolfe could do it.  Nick Tosches can sort of do it.  You can't do it.

Yeah, it's Baldwin in a walk just for 30 Rock.

It's hard to avoid with some milkshakes.  They can have the consistency of drying cement.

OUT OF SIGHT, THE LIMEY, and THE INFORMANT! are his best movies.  I think of THE INFORMANT! as being Soderbergh's TAXI DRIVER in a way - you're beguiled into the point of view of a lead character who you realize is quite ill once you're completely invested in him.

I think those two crazy kids have a chance!

And Pete Campbell got his ass kicked three times (including once by Lane), which is awesome.

I remember that episode - having a bit of a problem with overeating myself, it was actually one of the most unnerving things I've seen on TV (I've got to catch up on Smallville) even though Adams was still scarier in The Master.

While I'm not generally impressed with us as a group, sometimes us older white guys get things right, or rather are right about not getting things.

Best online description of Jay-Z's looks I've read (can't remember the source, unfortunately):  "It's like he has lazy eye, but it's his whole face."

Defending Beyonce isn't what I envisioned doing this Sunday afternoon, but didn't she release that song before she got married or even involved with Jay-Z?
