How anyone could come up with a list that doesn't have THE DRAWING OF THE THREE or THE GUNSLINGER at the top is beyond me. The latter gets kudos for kicking the whole mythology off—it's a cool fucking idea, and well done. The former is just an awesome book. It conveys the inhuman awesomeness of Roland, has plenty of

I have seen all these work: XI, ZA, QI, SH (fuckery!), JO, SUQ, QAT, ADZ, CWM (fuckery ×2!), AA, AE

Because the terrorists left the comms open to ground control. That's where the quotes are from. You can also hear them struggle with the pilot and his death. And people were on the Airfones and their cells and telling relatives and operators about the bodies and blood and pepper spray. Read this:

The 9/11 Commission Report goes into detail about how bloody the first class cabins /were/. They didn't gently shoo the pilots away from the controls. They killed them. They also killed a random in first class by slashing his throat and then set off pepper spray bombs (on some of the planes) after closing the doors.

Haneke's TIME OF THE WOLF just ruined me. Sobbing sobbing sobbing. I haven't seen THE ROAD but I read the book, and that's plenty. The world is cruel, it is cruel to the most innocent and I just can't handle it.

I forgot this was on the pending list and as soon as I saw it I thought of "Rex" and "Saskia." I have not forgotten their names after almost 20 years! I saw it cold and it was amazing. The viewer is as pulled into the obsession with /what happened/ as Rex—you just want to know—and it's worse for us, because we can see

Finally finished his other project
…having sex with Paulina Porizkova. Twenty-two years of sexy sex and he's ready for something new. Then back to sex.

Very rarely…
… a few times in a lifetime, you watch a billion dollar movie and when you watch the closing credits nothing can ever be the same. Walls have been pulled down, barriers broken, a dimension of feeling, of existence itself, has opened in you that was not there before. T&EB$M is a film of this magnitude. Tim

If you listen reaaaaallly carefully I think he says, "Chooknose." He's an idiot. We can all get behind this, right?

"Hymie Levine"
Binge drinking and Jew baiting is pretty much standard Malibu fare at thins point. You'd think he'd try a little harder.

I feel like you folks need to /read more books/. There's fucked up sex taboo weirdness in all of them, it seems. BLOOD MERIDIAN, LOVELY BONES, LOLITA, PILLARS OF THE EARTH, and so on. Some are classics of literature. Some are written to take money out of your pocket. Singling out King here seems unsporting. And why

It's like Ma Bell…

Practically a STORM OF SWORDS
ifyouknowwhatI'msayin.

NEUROSHIMA HEX, CARCASSONNE, HELSING'S FIRE, and ESPGALUDA 2 all have high replayability.

We rented this from Spencer Furniture, from back in the Time Before Video Rental Stores. This is the worst movie I have ever seen. EVER. PLAN 9 is awful, but Ed Wood is so fucking earnest it all seems justifiable somehow. But this PoS was so unrelentingly bad it was scarred me. There is no commercial or artistic

Oh, you mean Tat-JEW-ine?

In answer to your question, I'm going with "a soul."

Where's Neuroshima Hex?
DAMMIT. Neuroshima Hex hit the iDevices last month and it's glorious. Seriously—and for $3? Insane-o-pants. I am coining new words just to laud it! Brillaseristic!
