I was able to catch this at SXSW this year. It surprised me, in that it was actually pretty good. I agree on the lack of scares, but the actual narrative was solid and clever enough to keep me invested.

I've yet to see even middling reviews, so while it may not be a straight, up-and-up adaptation, it's still apparently pretty good.

CHICAGO, SEE EVERYTHING FOR FREE

Supposedly, the film took its cues from The Raid itself in terms of its fight choreography.

A lot of my friends left the film fairly disturbed by it, but I felt it was pretty tame actually. It's the type of film that I would show people that are interested or maybe curious about some of the more gruesome genres of film as a sort of taste test.

Ah man. While I generally agree with your remarks on TWS (I literally whispered to myself, "Oh, it's going to be Bucky." the action was amazing. The editing of said action left a little something to be desired, but the hand to hand combat that dominated the film was so visceral and real. I could feel some of those…

My weekends generally consist of me washing dishes for paltry sums of money, but tonight I saw two films on completely opposite side of the film spectrum: When Evening Falls On Bucharest or, Metabolism, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Nope. The Bicycle Thief is called just that. Thieves is a mistranslation and its WRONG.

Thus was born Kendal Crowe.

The Cock Also Rises

I got to see this in Vegas last December as part of a focus group and make $20 off of it. Which was cool. But they had us watch the second episode without explaining anything that happened in the pilot, which was pretty stupid. At first it seemed like it could be a pretty neat retelling of Lord of the Flies, but then…

STOP FIIIIIGGGHHHTTTINNNGGG!!!

Maybe it's just my reading comprehension at the moment, but I can't tell what you mean. Are you saying the arrest was kind of a fucked up thing to do, or what Tyler's actions onstagewere?

But that would still cause a riot.

It's been kind of gross to see people's reactions to this over the internet. Sure, I wasn't there, *maybe* its an over-reaction by the police (although, considering a fence was pushed down…) but considering the Red River tragedy just a few days ago (that cancelled his OWN show), Tyler really should have been a bit…

Not enough pizza.

Yeah, Kendal(l?) is 15. I think that was just confirmed this episode, actually. But the actor does not at all look 17.

I sure could use an easy FJ.

Tell my daughter I love her and that when I get out we can be more than friends.

That kid is 17?! Holy shit! I would never have guessed over 15.
