I guess I see why, but my favorite part of Zelda games were the times between dungeons spent doing side quest, exploring and interacting with NPCs, Okami and Wind Waker almost surpass the rest of the Zelda series in this regard.

Well, sir, is that a damn fact?

Made from real gorilla chest!

L'Avventura, La Notte, L'Eclisse and Red Desert are my favorite movies of all time, art house or mainstream. Yeah they're movies about lofty things like Marxist alienation, existential crises, eros, and identity, but it's never in your face (L'Avventura is especially cryptic, though the films become more explicit…

I love that you're doing these pieces, they're always a breath of fresh air for me personally. I imagine many other people here approach viewing older films for the first time with the same enthusiasm everyone has seeing something at the multiplex. These sorts of articles help facilitate that interest. Also, that on…

Alexander Payne while talking about Il Sorpasso mentioned that in every road trip movie there's the wild romantic and the reserved intellectual type. I like to picture Fellini and Antonioni flying through Tuscany or Route 66 having all sorts of insane adventures.

Yeah the trailer really did suck.

Yeah one of the few moments in gaming where I didn't want to be performing that actions that the game was directing me towards. It was subversive and dark, but not in glossy, mall food court edgy way. Subsequently I've lost a lot interest in everything zombies.

Say what you want about the tenets of Saints Row, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

I don't think it's anywhere on youtube, but one of my favorite sketches from the show is when Rich comes across an auto accident and runs toward the scene as if someone he knows has just crashed. He gets to the wounded biker, opens a zipper pocket the biker's jacket, and runs off with his wallet. It's a throwaway bit…

Yeah he often likes to look at the back of people's heads as they like, ponder god and shit

Unrelated to the particular scene described in this piece, but I feel like Persona provides an exception to the "show don't tell" rule of good cinema. Specifically the scene where Bibi Andersson's character has the monologue about her "experience" at the beach. It's a story better told in close-up and not cut-away.

Oh lookie here at all the people who don't cry at movies. I just teared up watching Shane for the first time, though I'm a little drunk and thought about death a lot during the second act. That fucking kid did almost ruin the whole movie though.

What about, now that we know he's in it, the Vincevaughnissance?

I was referring to As I Lay Dying and The Sound & The Fury mostly.

I just wish he would stop his crusade to defile every one of my favorite books. I was devastated to hear that he was also going to get his grimy paws all over The Sound and the Fury. It's one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking books ever written, I would so much rather see a group of filmmakers tackle it whose…

Don's Hershey Speech really got to me as well.

This is sort of adorable.

Oh God I forgot about that. I like how he just gets a craving for a few minutes every other episode that season, as if it wouldn't be a constant hankering.

I love Breathless and Vivre Sa Vie, but everything else I've seen of his (Un Femme Est Un Femme, Pierrot le Fou, Weekend) has been sort of… unwatchable. There's only two things he knows anything about: cinema and politics. And his politics are that terrible sort of self-congratulatory '60s Marxist nonsense, and it…
