The exclusion of John Waters is pretty damning as well. He is arguably more American a filmmaker than the elite cinephile care for.

i would be furious with this comment if i am not of the mind that greta gerwig was the sole driving force of that movie and baumbach merely tagged along. I feel his major influence on indie film making is the commitment to critiquing members of his own generation and social background. He needs to add some more style…

You know what we should talk about instead? Richard Ayode's The Double. I need to rewatch it because of its unconventional plot structure, but man are the visuals terrific and capture a Terry Gilliam meets Franz Kafka vibe and maintains it the entire time. Jesse Eisenberg also puts on his best performance since The…

Aren't they, or at least Siouxsie, planning a huge career comeback? As a singer myself, a male one at that, I find myself wanting to borrow and imitate Siouxsie's style all the time. And unlike Robert Smith and the other goth greats her voice truly can stand alone as the defining element of nearly every recording.

Great deep cut of a reference, too bad Manhunter as a film failed to do anything for me. I watched it in between season 2 and 3 but kept comparing it to the Show and how dull all Hannibal related cinema seems in comparison. I was actually surprised that Manhunter had any sort of cult appeal at all.

AND siouxsie and the banshees are writing a new song for the final half. Not everything is sorrow, or maybe it is but at least it's the glamorous kind.

Been doing some backpacking across Europe this past week and from the Netherlands to Slovakia I have seen at least one or more Minion on a daily basis. Also a lot of bootlegged Simpsons shirts.

I'm still in a weepy state over the loss of Colbert. I am sure he'll do more than fine as a late night host, but his Report will be regarded as highly as Voltarie and Johnathan Swift when future historians attempt to record the history of satire.

Why won't she play at the Illuminati's music festival?

I'm not a nostalgist by any stretch but I wish these websites would attempt to create a fabricated record clerk experience who would judge you with an omnipresence scowl with every click you make.

Does the Punisher count?

I would liketo see more directors follow Innaritu's(Am I even remotely close with that spelling?) steps and make more reactionary superhero movies. Take for instance David Cronenberg, he has the visual aesthetic to make both an amazing straight or subverted superhero movie.

What about Gone Girl? He was actually amazing in that movie, but then again that was the same film that wrung an amazing performance out of Tyler Perry too so I don't think the actors alone are responsible for that feat.

If john waters directed a Cher Catwoman movie, I think the world could potentially become a better place.

As someone who recently turned in his "i watch shitty movies on purpose" card, Gigli is actually one of the few pieces of trash that was actually entertaining, but I am a sucker for heightened, completely unrealistic dialogue and actors who think they can play mentally handicapped characters.

God damn what happened to me? Maybe I can blme my snafu on the deluge of celebrity names in the sibling articles, they broke my brain.

i'm just concerned about the fates of our mad men friends is all. Matthew Weiner directed a flop of another low budget dysfunctional family film (in the same year as August Osage County, another failure of this particular dated subgenre of ensemble drama), john slattery directed that other crime movie with Philip…

Fine. Point taken. The check being offered and the lack of effort it takes to do these voice acting gigs proves how much Hamm is beating everyone of us in life. But my Hamm love was on the verge of needing a health inspection after last year's turn in the disney produce inspirational sport movie with dicey racial…

Jonn Hamm, I love you dearly, but stat away from the movies. Then again it is kind of interesting how one of the most watchable humans in one medium seems incapable of hitting the mark in the other.

That song would make for a good "Inventory" column involving songs that namedrop obscure pieces of art. Of Montreal would show up twice since on "Past is a Grotesque Animal" Barnes' namedrops George Bataille's Story of the Eye. It's probably my favorite way to discover new art.
