I'm downloading Chronos right now
Because it's his earliest film.

Kiss > G.B.V.
On the other hand: I saw Guided By Voice once and they were middling-t0-terrible. On a bill with Cheap Trick, no less. G.B.V. appeared lovably drunk and staggering in a way that we usually associate with charming rock and roll ne'er-do-wells - which is all very cute and romantic, until it impedes your…

I kinda liked the Onion movie. You got the feeling it was disowned by the folks here but it was at least mildly entertaining.

Star Wars Gee-Gaws
The Star Wars Millennium Falcon book is pretty cool and a perfect example of something that is not quite a book and not quite a toy. And the Star Wars sound design book is awesome. The text goes into useful detail if you're interested in sound effects. I would have preferred a CD instead of the…

The Phillip K. Dick angle is something that never occurred to me. Interesting. Illuminating. (INB4 jokes about the phrase: "dick angle")

I don't know if I'm ready to join the "Southland Tales" cult, but I thought it was an enjoyable mess.

Spanksy
Quite appropriately, I stole this movie off the internets.

Kid to guy behind the counter at a news stand: "What's that?"
Magazine Guy: "That's 'LIFE'"
Kid: "How much is it?"
Magazine Guy: "A dollar."
Kid: "But I only got a quarter."
Magazine Guy: "That's life."
Kid: "What's that?"
Magazine Guy: "That's 'LIFE'"

"What's this 'we' shit Kemo-Sabe?"
I have nothing to add to this thread other than this truly awesome factiod: the Lone Ranger is the secret identity of John Reid. John Reid is the great uncle to Britt Reid, the Green Hornet. Black Beauty/Silver; Tonto/Kato. Get it?

Lets just say it was a bit labored.

For Me to Poop On
Expect many uncomfortable situations with animals.

Great interview but the George Harrison interjection was kind of a head scratcher.

Martial sex and fairly inncocuous drugs and Rock and Roll…
You would think Ian Dury's life had plenty of biopic moments. Yet the Dury film was a ho-hum film about a great musician who was a bit of an amateur human being. (Although Serkis really nailed it.) On the other hand, Strummer was a great musician and by all…

"1941" gets my vote for the '80s Spielberg movie that I find quite enjoyable for unfathomable reasons. It's not particularly funny, it's incoherent but it's quite the spectacle. "The Blues Brothers" is pretty much the same but it gets a bit more love because of some interesting musical bits.

I hate to be defending Mr. Boll…
…but he does have a point about the magical "after school special" aspects of some of the much lauded movie depictions of the Holocaust (and Nazi Germany in general. - I'm talking to you "Hogan's Heroes" and "Inglorious Baterds.") The TV movie "Holocaust" stopped working for me when I…

I abhorred the "firsties" as much as anyone, but when I was presented the opportunity like it was bowl of fine Peruvian nose-candy in a locked room, I got weak-kneed and dove right in. Now, I feel dirty and bad.

That dinner party scene where Dr. Melfi holds our hand while explaining to her dinner-party pals how not all Italian-American were mobsters really stuck in my craw. It was an "after school special" moment.

Heresy
I know it's going against the conventional wisdom, but I always thought Livia and the much-lauded Dr. Melfi were the least interesting parts of "The Sopranos." I can see how the "mobster sees a shrink" thing sounded like a good pitch, something that demonstrated to HBO that this was not going to be another…

I'm surprised no one has brought up Jack Casaday's band SVT. They did a pretty decent job, chasing after a punk/new-wave sound. And Hot Tuna was always interesting -if uneven- and deserve to bowl a few lanes down from the hippie dreck they're usually lumped in with.
