I grew up in Minnesota. Even the phrase "blue laws" takes me back. I remember when shopping malls couldn't be open on Sunday. I say drink up.

It's been ages since I saw Night of the Hunter but the image of Shelly Winters underwater is etched into my mind.

What have you seen of Bong Joon-ho's work prior to this, and what did you think of it? I'm curious because I love him and am looking forward to this one, and your criticisms - not to dismiss them - don't really faze me because it seems his movies are almost intentionally messy.

Someone here said the other day that the worst way anyone had introduced themselves was "They call me 'Ace'". I totally agree.

One of my favorite Smiths songs, just perfect.

I'm a huge Rilo Kiley fan, and "Silver Lining" (which is great) is one of the few RK songs that Jenny plays at her live shows now. It's a treat.
