People looking to make good Christian media (People like that must exist, right?) should look at the Leftovers: a great meditation on grief, faith and human suffering that, and this is key, *doesn't talk down to its audience*. It doesn't treat its story as a lecture translated into a story, it makes things ambiguous…

Sonic Adventure 2 was really good, but I have a soft spot for the original Adventure. The different characters with different corresponding gameplay ironically gave the game a more focused delivery (Sonic is for speed, Knuckles is for brawling, Big is for… fishing? Whatever, it was fun and raising Chaos was…

I stopped when they killed off his doofy partner whose name I can't remember, not because I cared about him, but because I cared so little about him and they were making SUCH a big deal out of his death.

I grew up playing the Sonic games (on PC, not a Genesis fanboy). Fun games and my first real gaming experience, but I'm only now realizing that they don't have the best design philosophy. The developers simultaneously want you to speed through the levels and slow down and explore them, filling them with secret rooms…

oooooo they could throw in some unreliable narration along the line!

Has there ever been an E?

That gave me a modicum of respect for Howard, seeing that he's not as blinded by Jimmy's past as Chuck clearly is.

I always saw Max as more of a cypher character (is that the right phrase? Whatever, I mean that, besides the first film, he's drawn so broadly that he could be a stand-in for a lot of different types of people), so I don't mind that Gibson's not in this one.

He's certainly done with Clive Owen what he did with Matt Damon.

I think it was an homage to all those awful hip hop songs that are linked to movies. Vanilla Ice's song for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie comes to mind.

That's Chris Brown? Dammit…

Make sure you play Kentucky Route Zero. Your fear of off-highway southern country will skyrocket (mine was already pretty high from personal experience; it involved driving past a burning shack in the middle of the night in the mountains of West Virgina)

Whoa, then we'll see his hair grow longer and FINALLY UNDERSTAND how he came to have, nay, EARN the mullet by the end of the movie! Genius!

There may be hope for the world yet…

"Remember those hollow balls of chocolate with candy inside them? On a scale of 1 to kill yourself, how likely would you be to watch a movie about them?"

I love how bored/quietly hopeless the headline is, because who gives a fuck and who here will actually watch it. I'm just waiting for the day when "NOSTALGIA: THE MOVIE" comes out!

Mine was that damn floating mummy scene. It's the details in that scene that make it the worst; the balloons floating against the wind, the mummy seeming not to move, yet getting closer somehow everytime he turned around. And of course the damn creepy incongruity of a mummy, holding balloons, in a snowstorm.

Eraserhead was the most terrifying movie I've ever seen, just because of the amazingly persistent atmosphere of dread, that there was something lurking, maybe just outside of view of the camera, that was the most messed up weird thing you've ever seen. Also, fuck the ocean. Who knows what horrific monstrosities could…
