I love Cloud Atlas — or anything by David Mitchell. Scanner Darkly would be good too — and it's pretty short. But yes! I love, too, how all of Mitchell's works fold in on one another. Cloud Atlas doubly so.

I'm with you King Bastard — the film just didn't cohere for me, mostly because of, well, that — it just didn't make sense, and, well, it wasn't good enough (or funny-bad enough) to make up for it… Here's something that's probably waaaaay too long about why BR doesn't seem to work:

Imogen Poots
Is probably the best name for a teen starlet type however. POOTS!

I really liked that bit about the cruelty — I actually wrote a piece that explores some of the same themes:

Exactly — Brian's typically the most sympathetic character, and I was really, really hoping he'd have been the one to be "Y'know what, fuck all y'all, Ida's a good person, and I don't care about nothin'." I think they tried way too hard to have it both ways — have the heartwarming "It's the person inside who counts…

Gigantic….
I was kinda hoping for an apology for that pile of crap…

Ditto — never been high, love the D. This movie might be a LITTLE meandery, but it didn't deserve all the hate towards it.

I'm glad that they had an Itchy & Scratchy without dialogue. I&S has always been a lot like Tom & Jerry. And, like Tom & Jerry, the ones where they talk SUCK.

I concur — it's always weird when there's the occasional Simpsons episode that's based around Marge == Teh H0ttt. Maybe it's that she wasn't thought of that way for so long that it's sorta like talking about how hot your mom is.

Meg
I always like the Meg-Goes-Psycho jokes. Like the bit where she ripped out her tooth and said that Anthony hangs her from the shower rod with Lois' old bras, and then laugh at Lois. That was awesome. Honestly, though, I would have made Lois/Meg the A story, just because there wasn't any particular twist on the…

I always liked the joke about the Leary/Hicks thing:

Thing What Kicks: No, me too — you beat me to it. But after all, I Believe In Something.

Concur about the Lynch short in Lumiere Et Compaigne
I was really looking forward to that film when I got it; it's a really, really cool idea. Unfortunately, 99% of it is really boring. Lynch did the best, far and away, by actually making a damn film. Greenaway's was interesting in that it was basically "here are…

Or, um, BitTorrent?

Onstad's Character Blogs
The character blogs are NOT discontinued, they're just in the pay section of the site, the "Assetbar Fanflow" or whatever it's called. (If it were me, I'd call it the Blowoff, after the section of a Freak Show that costs more.)

Kraftwerk
Actually, KW had to bitchslap Coldplay into admitting they'd ripped off "Computer Love". The original singles just had Coldplay writing credits on. (Not sure about first pressings of the album.)

Solondz?!
Awesome! I had no idea he had a new film! _Palindromes_ was EXCELLENT.

Yeah…
…Yoko Ono was talented.

Saw this in a film class….
The prof really liked it; I didn't care for it as much — but we both agreed that it'd be an excellent film at about 45 minutes long.

Rrr on Box Sets.
I hate it when they do boxes of previously released stuff with like, one new thing. Anyone know if they're gonna release the Pilots disc separately too? Because I have ALL those discs, except that one… and I've been wanting them to put out a Failed Pilots disc forever.
