"Should Durst dodge conviction, The Jinx will go from success to failure, thereby highlighting slow crime’s tragic flaw."

High horses went out last year.

It's totally Problematic whenever you're around… I'm losing control now.

That was my mother. I hope you tipped.

He was an actor and occasional stand up before. The chat show was something of a long interruption.

Or… Blomkamp's take on Alien just might be playful, intelligent, know its genre and respect its material and even end up being pretty terrific. Who knows? I certainly don't. And neither does anyone else.

Nah. Sheen is a sad - no, let's make that tragic - joke and has been for ages. Not a good comparison.

Only because "the trapped wind of a generation" sounds so darn awkward.

I would imagine Kanye West reaches out to himself a lot already. That over developed right arm is a classic giveaway.

In case it hasn't been pointed out already, Cameron didn't create Ripley and Alien 3 didn't use his two (short lived) survivors from Aliens. His creations weren't messed with, just eliminated. And I still think Alien 3 is the most emotionally stirring - if broke backed - of the four pack.

Gloria Swanson: "Von Stroheim? A genius. As he would the first to tell you. Also impossible. Which he simply could not see - or rectify."

Oh dear. That made me laugh. Sorry.

Try The Wind (also with Gish). Saw it with a full orchestra backing and stretches of it had the crowd screaming and jumping in their seats. Tense and terrific.

Ah.. I saw it some years ago at the NFT in London and I, and the entire audience, was gripped from start to finish.

And yet… Riefenstahl's camera in Olympiad lingers obsessively and with obvious awe on Jessie Owens, the lens drinking him in in aesthetic appreciation. Sontag calls it racism, Kael argues the director is colour blind when it comes to beauty and form. You choose. (Her post war photography of African and desert tribes…

Helene Bertha Amalie "Leni" Riefenstahl being the obvious mistress of this: propaganda can be art and vice versa. And Pauline Kael was saying much the same thing when she called Straw Dogs "a Fascist masterpiece."

"No Lutherans were harmed in the making of this movie."

One stiff deserves another.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Crime as corporate entity - i.e organised, business like, tentacles all over - is the legacy. Massive social implications.
