What I think he was trying to say…
…was that it would have been nice to see this review say something other than, "This album is decent even though I think Mike Patton sucks."

As someone else pointed out…
Joffe didn't just "reshoot" this film — he directed the whole bloody thing. Seriously, though, the guy's reputation rests on two award-bait films from twenty-plus years ago. (Have any of y'all tried to watch "The Mission" lately? It's not as interesting as you remember, trust me.)

Add my name…
…to the Great and Secret Order of "Kung Pow" Fans. I'm not willing to defend anything else Oedekerk has done, but I'll go to the mat for The Chosen One.

My favorite moment in this tripe…
Was when Alexis Dziena essentially wrote the film's epitaph in an early dialogue scene when she said, "Okay, you know what? I for one would just like to voice an opinion. This is crazy wack. I just had to say that."

Creepy Robin
Glad to see others are bringing up "One Hour Photo" — for my money, Williams's best performance, and the only one I can think of in which he managed to completely subdue his own (destructive) creative impulses.

Haven't seen this…
…but it sounds like it would make for a ferocious double-bill with "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," Asia Argento's similarly hyperbolic slice of batshit Southern Gothic.

Rilo Kiley
Not that I disagree, but if you're talking tears, I think "Does He Love You?," "A Better Son/Daughter" or "The Good That Won't Come Out" are more effective. Especially that last one.

Never watched "Freaks and Geeks"…
But I still give Franco a lot of leeway for his incandescent performance in that James Dean telemovie. The movie itself was kinda mediocre, but that wasn't his fault.

I rather liked this
Even if it's practically the same thing as a film directed in the '90s by a fella who has won an Oscar this decade (and which, in the interest of avoiding spoilage, I'll leave nameless). Except Arnold's film is without so much leaden self-importance, which I think makes all the difference.

Shadowboxer…
…is the kind of crazy, blinkered terrible that comes around once a year at best. I've been torn between wanting to warn everyone away from it and wanting to make everyone bear witness to its unfiltered psychosis.

Yes, "Lady" is a fiasco…
A big, crazy, sorta loveable fiasco. I can't say it's a good film by any stretch of the imagination, but I found its egocentric lunacy to be a bit involving. It's as close as 21st-century filmmaking will probably ever get to the unhinged beauty of something like "Zardoz."

Gung-ho militarism and French sarcasm
See, the political bent was the one thing I really loved about Aja's "Hills," precisely because (at least as I read it) it's not meant as a serious hawkish endorsement of American-male asskickin'. It's an OTT satirization of such — I mean, listen to the super-patriot score playing…

And of course…
There's no way this list is complete without King Missle's "Detachable Penis."

Backside of the Cave
Nice to see other people pointing out the bizarre omission of Nick Cave from this list — "The Carny," "John Finn's Wife," "Christina the Astonishing," "The Mercy Seat," "Up Jumped the Devil," "Tupelo," "The Lyre of Orpheus," "The Ballad of Robert Moore and Betty Coltrane," "Where Do We Go Now But…

No, no, no, that's all wrong
Nominating System of a Down, Tool and Nine Inch Nails for an award and then handing said award to the yobs in Wolfmother, who wouldn't have a career if Led Zeppelin didn't exist to steal from, is like declaring the illiterate kid valedectorian.

I'll be ready
Just wanna get "Three Times" and "Babel" under my belt before I go. Promise!
