Very interesting - I couldn't stand Love at all. I just... can't stand mash-ups, no matter how catchy they are - and they are, too. My loss, as I respect the project itself. As far as my favorite Beatles album? The White Album . Well, half of it, anyway. Even in its grandiose original form it is the...

Maybe because I’m such a big Beatles fan, I just could never get into Oasis at all. There music just seems so derivative , and rather uninspired . (emphasis mine) Whoa! You just broke my heart. :cry: PJ Harvey and Heart sure do rock, though. Two of my favorite musicians/bands of the feminine variet...

Pauline Kael.
Well, this seems as good a place as any to put it, so: I wasn't alive during Pauline Kael's critical run, so my views are somewhat bias (although I feel they are right), and I'd like to get some opinions from this varied group on her writing, her criticism, and yes, Pauline Kael herself. I appreciat...

Hi Mel. Interesting question. You can paint me into the 'boring corner' over there as a non-believer in ghosts. I put them in the overactive imagination, sickly (or induced) hallucinations and electromagnetic sensitivity (such as many animals possess) categories. Regarding acts of violence, I chalk ...

My wife once had to write an analysis on one of Shakespeare's works for a class she was taking and chose King Lear . It just so happened that I had planned on showing her Ran anyway, so we watched it and she wrote her report on it instead. If I remember correctly she got ace marks. I hold Kurosawa's...

Stray Dog
Tonight I introduce my wife to early Kurosawa. She's seen Seven Samurai and I've shown her Ran , but it's downright criminal (oops, I just had-ta!) that she hasn't been properly acquainted with The Great One's noir era - doubly so considering she is a huge Suzuki fan! Perhaps I can goad her into sig...
