Dear Kevin Smith, please lose the backwards baseball hat. You're embarrassing yourself. Love, Mr. White.
I thought the monster designs from Pacific Rim were pretty badass.
There's a vibe to this movie that creeped the hell out of me when I was a kid. The local UHF station had this in regular rotation on Saturday afternoon's. Is it Peter Graves or Le Van Cleef who takes a blowtorch to Zoltar's eye and something like grape jelly pours out? That's always a highlight. That, and an early Man…
They missed a golden opportunity to play "Yakity Sax" over the sandstorm scene.
I've been playing the crap out of that song the past week. There's also a wonderful symmetry between it and Blackstar. Both are long, sprawling songs, both clock in around 10 minutes and both have a similar song structure.
Totally agree with other posts that Cloverfield was okay. There are some pretty killer moments, too bad the entitled twentysomethings made me root for the monster. Kind of like I wound up rooting for the Blair Witch.
OMG, WE ARE THE MONSTERS!!!

Well said, Bowie family. I find it interesting that they've made it a point to separate themselves from any of the memorial stuff.
Is there really any other way to celebrate his Thin White Duke personna?
I'll admit that by the time Let's Dance came out I was a total music geek and snob. I felt a bit betrayed by Bowie that this was his follow up to Scary Monsters. Over the years, it's grown on me.
Wayne Coyne tried. He really, really tried.
Absolutely. Clement had the voice patterns down, but his hulking physique betrayed that in an instant!
Props to Clement doing a pretty damn good Bowie.
The Palladia channel showed the final Ziggy Stardust concert on Bowie's birthday. Hell yeah Mick Ronson is an amazing and criminally underrated guitar player. The chemistry is that of Jagger/Richards, Plant/Page, or Daltrey/Townsend.
Even on a good day this song can put a lump in my throat. I dare not listen to it now because I'll become a blubbering mess.
Oh yeah, the infamous Fear performance. Good times! Personally, I don't believe that booking bands like The Sugarcubes was as groundbreaking because at that point "Alt-Rock" was already fairly established. To see someone like Devo or this Bowie performance on the show in the mid-70's was truly different.
Bowie needs to sic his diamond dogs on them.
Those first few years of SNL were so brave and eclectic musically. You'd get more hippy/baby boomer oriented stuff like James Taylor or Paul Simon, and then completely whacked out stuff like this.
