I dug Sling Blade. I thought it presented the character as a much more rounded personality, showing sympathetically the level at which he understands the world around him—he understands life and death, and morality, but struggles with consequences and with adult concepts; which paints him as having a juvenile, but not …

Arsenio had a new show and I missed it? This bums me out.

It should also work with facebook or instagram, I believe.
EDIT: Also google.

Not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying society is fucking stupid about taking offence. You don't need an apology from someone just because their opinion differs from yours. You can agree or disagree with someone all you want but expecting an apology for an opinion is horseshit.

Read the whole thing aloud in my best Crockett impression. Wife's incredibly confused.

"And no, ladies and gentlemen, we did not mean to incite anything when we discussed—and we stress, did not recommend—rolling down Rodeo with a shotgun".

No your momma took away my Call of … Fuck it I got nothing.

So the dude's apologising for having opinions? Fuck that. Not everyone has to be fucking pandered to every minute of the day, just let a dude express himself and decide whether or not you agree with it.

I hated it for years but something about it grew on me. I still think it's poorly recorded (dem drums!) and that parts of it are drawn out needlessly ("The Unnamed Feeling" especially is far too long and has several passages that weaken it as a whole), and the lyrics range from passable to juvenile. But there's an…

I have no idea how I forgot Mr Bungle's first full-length; maybe I was convinced it was later. Such a great record.

It's a good record. "Steel Monkey" is a great tune, same with "Said She Was a Dancer". "Budapest" is good, but tends to be better live. The album gets a lot of bad press due to the Grammy thing but the category was quite clearly "Hard Rock/Metal", not just balls-out heavy metal.

The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life, De La Soul Is Dead and Don't Try This at Home, probably.

I do like some of the tracks on it ("My Friend of Misery" and "Through the Never" mostly, but there's some good riffs throughout), and although Ride and Justice are, in my view, their best, I'm hardly a thrash purist—I love the Load, Reload, St. Anger period too. That said, Black is easily one of their weakest…

You know, I did try skittlebrau once, by which I mean a dumped a bag of skittles in a stein of Czech beer. My verdict? Not terrible. Would have been better with something that dissolved better since you still just end up with chewy skittles at the end.

Needs more dog.

I only rewatched Dredd like a week ago and now I'm gonna have to do it again.

I don't think they're made with the purpose of self-congratulation, but stories like this tend to derive some manner of success from audiences being gratified by knowing that, shitty as things are now, they're not as shitty as they used to be. I'm 99% certain this view was echoed in some article here recently but I'm…

How about being really daring and making a 2010s gay rights drama, to show that the job is nowhere near finished rather than just congratulating ourselves on not being quite as backwards as before.

The wife's university film studies dissertation was on John Woo's style pre- and post-Hollywood; there has indeed been a Face/Off marathon. It went surprisingly without injury.
