The Deer Hunter builds a remarkable amount of tension as it moves into its final hour. It's not an easy watch, that's for sure, but it certainly sticks with you if you tough it out. A film you can never forget, with scenes and images that park in your brain and never leave - is that a mark of greatness?

There's a very interesting Steven Benedict podcast on The Deer Hunter:

Sexual addiction is so tragic.

I think I got to the sixth episode of Baskets before I decided it was just too mopey and not all that funny and really kinda lousy, despite Louie Anderson's genius.

Just a suggestion: you should avoid Tarkovsky.

Wait…they spelled "Eyes" with a Z?

I'm very old. Got it. Thanks AV Club. Have a weekend.

oh. i wondered where he got him. good that they saved him, just in case his mom wanted him back.

Yeah, Jackson Browne needs to eat it.

In Russia, we have Love Barge

Lots of UFOs are also on "public record."

Yes, yes i do.

Insomniac is the better Radiohead record, by far.

Who won, by the way?

Show by name of Frish Center. It's just food for cats. Who cares.

I think Leo Johnson was one of the most menacing characters ever on TV. The show suffered when they sidelined him, then turned him into a joke. His fate was never revealed, and I can only guess that the guy who played him - Eric da Re - royally pissed off someone. But I was hoping to see him in the list, and I’m sorry…

I think at this point she's pretty much just plaster-of-paris and gorilla glue.

Gene Simmons saying he's never used drugs is the best advertisement for using drugs, ever.

I'm always amazed when I hear songs from their early, "classic" records - the production is incredibly bad. Like they were recorded underwater.

Cher was dated by 1973.
