I want a Dr. Steve Brule movie so desperately.

Don't forget about date rapists!

Halloween 2 is generally well-respected.

All the Christie stuff from this weekend was amazing, especially the bit about the secret nine dipping sauces at McDonalds.

I love a lot of these movies, but the one that holds up the most is Dead Man. It's way more than a style piece and is one of the best movies of its decade.

Monster is indeed underrated, but it's still not nearly as great as New Adventures, which has a higher number of great songs than any other late period R.E.M album. It's a very long album with remarkably few clunkers, and at least a handful of classic songs by them.

Good call. Has they ever been as strong a refutation of the sophomore slump as If You're Feeling Sinister?

It's half a great movie. I had trouble investing in the central love story, despite how great the leads are. But I love the framing scenes with Binoche, Andrews, Dafoe, and Fiennes.

I think I saw the same thing, and it basically amounted to Hef promoting black artists on his show in the 60s, including Dick Gregory early in his career. Not a minor thing, but he wasn't as involved in the movement as someone like Paul Newman.

That's nuts. Anderson has been pretty crazy for awhile now and has a notoriously severe drinking problem. I think the fact that he's unstable is why Lynch no longer works with him.

O'Donoghue supposedly asked if he happened to be shaking hands with Chevy at the time he fell.

Same here. Solid action movie.

The whole bit from Rabin here on Roger Moore had me in stitches.

Maybe Pooh gets shot in the head by Jason Schwartzman.

I wish he had also directed this, instead of that upcoming pacifist war movie that looks like the worst kind of Oscar bait. The man knows how to direct propulsive, violent action but is considerably less skilled with drama, history, nuance, etc.

I generally like Rogen and Goldberg's stuff, and they do bring more to the films than the often-enjoyable raunchiness.

I'm mixed on Perry, but the first word I think of to describe his work is acidic, and that does seem ill-fitting for Winnie the Pooh.

That's utterly foolish. What I should have done is had the sex worker dress up as Toad and make me waffles while I played.

I spent a long weekend with my girlfriend back then playing through the whole game in shifts - I would play all night and then she would play while I slept during the day. It was madness but we were determined to play through the whole thing.

It's actually a "happy ending" that's sadder than the current ending, because pretty much the whole world ends up on the drug. There's a huge parade that likely cost a fortune to shoot. A very low-res version is on youtube:
