You're kind of a tool.

You're kind of a tool.

As you can probably guess from my avatar, one of my biggest pop culture questions is, "What the fuck was that big thing they found on the abandoned ship in Alien?"

Check Your Head, the Beastie Boys' best album (yes, better than Paul's Boutique…maybe), is sorely lacking from your rotation.

All Beastie Boys all the time. They're the first band I remember being a fan of (I'm 23), I put the cover of Check Your Head on an art class collage back in 6th grade. I own less than ten physical albums; three of them are Check Your Head, Paul's Boutique and Licensed to Ill. Needless to say MCA's death hit hard.

She uses French because they're about to go on a trip to France.

As a Visconti geek, screw you buddy!

Satantango is on the very, very short list of the greatest films I’ve ever seen. I watched it a second time not too long ago and was captivated for every second –too long, my ass. It’s hypnotic and heartbreaking (the fifth chapter, Comes Unstitched, would make an incredible feature film on its own – here, it’s

I am 100% in agreement with this ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER fellow.

But…the burned survivor from the ship physically identifies him.

You could not be more wrong. The Rules of Attraction is not only better than American Psycho, it's one of the best movies of the 2000s.

Use some fucking paragraph breaks and maybe I'll read this.

Now if StudioCanal would get off their collective asses and release Mulholland Drive in a region 1 blu-ray, I could be happy. Easily my most-wanted movie on blu-ray.

This movie is goddamned hypnotic. Though, as far as hazy Wong Kar-Wai missed-connections movies go, I still favor Chungking Express. Having a Cantonese cover of "Dreams" by the Cranberries, plus "California Dreamin'" on the soundtrack, certainly doesn't hurt.

The penguin exhibit…

Brett Ratner got to direct a topless Heidi Klum in a jeans commercial. Isn't that a big enough dream for one lifetime?

You can't open your article talking about how The Bird with the Crystal Plumage's look won over audiences and not mention Vittorio Storaro!

No Travis Bickle?
Or, hell, any number of Scorsese characters. Bickle/Henry Hill/Jake La Motta/Johnny Boy/etc. Many of his best movies are centered around antiheroes.

Martin Scorsese is my favorite director. The Rolling Stones are my favorite band. The Departed, and "Let it Loose," are two of my favorites of each. And I somehow never noticed that was playing during that scene. Fuck.
