You know what? Celebrities seem to do alright in the polls, Obama drove up minority turnout, and clearly profanity and insulting language aren't an issue for voters any more.

The Mountain Goats— "The Day the Aliens Came (Hawaiian Feeling)"

I've never seen them, but I feel like I can piece them together in my head just by remembering a bunch of ideas I had for kickass movies/comics/video games/Palladium RPG characters I had when I was 13, so that's neat.

I've been coasting for years on an uncanny resemblance to Phillip Seymour Hoffman, which technically qualifies as "movie star looks" and made me feel as cool as a fat anxious man can until, uh, a few years ago.

He's a pharmaceutical exec that bought the rights to a life-saving anti-parasite drug needed by AIDS patients, then jacked the price up by 1200% overnight. He revels in the negative attention it got him and deliberately antagonizes people.

I'm not on board with murder, but I'm completely on board with making John Landis the official White House videographer.

Not even female indie game devs having sex with someone in trade for coverage. Quinn allegedly had sex with a freelance writer who did work for a publication where someone else with no personal connection to either of them later gave her coverage. According to her angry ex in a multi-page rant. This is the "ethics"…

Man, that's a shame. I was hoping that this would spur him to come out of retirement fully. Given the places his art was going before he decided to bow out, I'd love to see where he'd push film now— a Lynch who could go totally off the ranch with modern film technology and the improving quality of consumer-grade…

Thanks for reviewing his, IV. It sounds weird to say about Underworld, but I wouldn't trust anyone else to do the job right.

Thanks for that.

edit: I misread this comment.

Manimal needs no sidekicks! He is strong and brave enough to fight his battles alone.

You sound like a Marvel fanboy to me, partner.

He is not. I can't imagine that film working, especially without him. Del Toro was amazing, but he was amazing as a mystery and a force of inhuman evil— a film starring his character just doesn't seem like it would work at all. The fact that Taylor Sheridan is at least writing the sequel gives me some hope, but it's…

I love the way it was mixed like he was just constantly, uncomfortably close to you. A completely unrealistic decision that worked like magic.

You can do it right— Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies, and it's a commentary on the way cinema dehumanizes Nazis. But when a movie ends with the hand of YHWH smiting the SS for their crimes against his people, I'm really not sure you want to start talking about how they're just being used as cannon…

Man, that segment fucked me up as a kid. Now that you mention it, it does definitely feel like a Spielberg bit— in line with the face melting in Raiders (or Poltergeist, for that matter). It's telling that AI's most disturbing moments come more from Spielberg's love of visceral and blunt horror, rather than the chilly…

EVISCERATED!

Thank you. I'm so tired of pointing this out, but Hillary won the working class. The average Hillary voter has a lower income than the average Trump voter. It's just that, apparently, only the needs, wants, and fears of the white working class matter to media discussions, the majority of the working class who are…

The "biggest genocide in history" didn't hit white people— the Trans-Atlantic slave trade killed five times as many people as the Holocaust during its existence, and estimates for the Native American genocide are, in the most historically-accepted numbers, around 30-35 million.
