You do realize that all the charges against Strauss-Kahn were dropped, yes? And that the maid was heard talking to her boyfriend on the phone about how much money they could squeeze out of him?

The film's name is "Goodfellas," guys.

@Joshua thanks for the JuJu recommendation - that's gorgeous stuff.

"(One gets the impression that The Gambler is set in Los Angeles, as opposed to Vegas or Atlantic City, for chiefly financial reasons.)"

Why you give no. 13 best movie on the list only a B+?

I'm really looking forward to your "Best of Best of Best of Lists of 2014".

Yeah, it's goddamned hilarious how six thousand employees have their medical records and person information plastered on the Internet, and how their families have been threatened? Har har har har har har har har har.

I stopped reading at The Master - one of the best films of the decade. That movie wasn't even good.

I"m sorry, but those are DARK FORCES those goddamned dorks are playing around with and they will be SORRY when they GO TO HELL.

"If Blofeld turns up," he says all coyly. Yuh-huh.

So probably worth mentioning that Wessex was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in the south of England.

I'm horrified to learn that the new Mike Leigh film, with Timothy Spall as J. W. M. Turner, is one of the leaked films. Say what you will, but this is an appalling and completely destructive attach.

I increasingly felt that they were driving these things just to force me to buy titles I wouldn't normally buy, and the story…

The issue isn't that he made a movie about the things Zuck did when he was nineteen - it's that he made a bunch of shit up. And anyone who's ever heard Zuckerberg speak know that he in no way resembles Sorkin's character.

"Bathetic" is a word that should be used judiciously.

I don't think the eagles could have entered Mordor without promptly being turned into Gwaihir McNuggets, were it not for Barad-Dur exploding and collapsing and the volcano erupting and everything going to hell. I mean, there were nine Nazgul flying around and God knows what else, dragons and shit.

You know, anyone can plunk down a couple hundred bucks and get a Rift DK2 and start playing with it. It's not a consumer product, but it's not hard to get.

Tom Waits.

I pretty much have to disagree with you there - several important and relatively enlightened civilizations came to an abrupt end under the Mongol advance, including the Abbasid Caliphate, which was one of the most progressive and important dynasties in the history of Islam.

Don't let HETA hear you talk like that.
