Saw the 180 minute cut of Ingmar Bergman's stunning Fanny & Alexander in 35mm at the Vancouver Cinematheque on 23 December

a genuine question-do ANY of you give a shit about animation? MISS HOKUSAI, THE RED TURTLE, KUBO & THE TWO STRINGS and MY LIFE AS A ZUCCHINI are all remarkable. Mike D'Angelo included Jerzy Skolimowski's 11 MINUTES in the "worst of" list, but he's a fool, and it's one of the year's best.

Astonishing how Kate Bush has never even made the shortlist. This organization is awful

Shh! The pleibs here who think Bon Iver and Animal Collective are exciting won't get that

No, it's not. I seriously doubt she's listened to a single fucking song beyond "Owner of a Lonely Heart" or J. Geils Band's "Centerfold". Screw her

The snark directed at Yes and J. Geils Band is almost as cringey as the concept of a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

How did I know you idiots wouldn't include a single animated film? Miss Hokusai, Kubo & the Two Strings, The Red Turtle and My Life as a Zucchini are all more worthwhile than half of the titles here

Shy People, Maria's Lovers and Runaway Train are excellent films, but I'm sure the film "experts" at the AV Club already know that

yeah, but the NEA is a joke, and got even worse during the Bush I administration. It's astonishing how little Americans care about their culture or contributing to a global culture.

America's unwillingness to subsidize the arts is easily one of its greatest shames. But, I guess it's important to keep people ignorant so that they'll be easier to transform into part of the war machine.

He lives down the street from my in-laws in the Cheviot Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. From the street, you can actually see his office with a campaign sign framed on a wall.

you're not thinking longitudinally, which is exactly what Republicans want you to do

he also signed off on the death penalty as governor. Fuck this piece of shit

I'm so fucking embarrassed to have been born in the same state that elected Schwarzenegger and Darryl Issa.

Killer Joe might become a series as well, actually

And it certainly isn't something that should be dumbed down for the pleibs who watch CBS' garbage

Everybody knows that The Silent Partner (1978) is the greatest Christmas thriller ever

Duran Duran's covers album after their immensely successful 1993 comeback album comes to mind.

"All for You" was the last single of hers that received major airplay. The radical shift in the album she released at the time of the Super Bowl incident really killed her momentum.

Jackson ditching Jam/Lewis for goddamn Jermaine Dupris was the biggest mistake of her career
