Insinuating that John McCain has a sense of humor is an offense punishable by death in Killifornia.

Well, you've got me there!

As a red-blooded constitution-loving American, I respect your right to said opinion, however incorrect it may be.

I fully expect to get called out as a 'racist' for this, but we had all better be thankful we live in a country in which the KKK actually can march down Pennsylvania Avenue - after securing the proper permits from the proper authorities - (and display their ignorance for all to see) without getting ...

Excellent write-up - even though I'm nearly a year late in saying so. I know you have many more articles like this in you - it's a shame they don't make it from mind to fingers to screen more often. No mention of 12 to the Moon , though? For shame! Being the huge MST3K fan you are, I know you've see...

I'm in the midst of a large fit of non-fiction reading - something I rarely do - that ranges topics from Orson Welles to film critics on film critics and I have to say that my all ready negative opinion of Pauline Kael - in fact, the entire New Yorker establishment - has been replaced by a seething ...

The beauty of most of Orson Welles's films - Citizen Kane especially - is that you have to meet him halfway. One of his most frequent laments was the fact that most film-makers and studios treated their audiences like they had the comprehension and attention span of a twelve year old and that, given...

Cheap Trick--Cheap Trick/In Color/Heaven Tonight--nostalgic for when rock 'n roll was fun (while I like In Color, okay, Hello There and I Want You To Want Me rock much harder on Budokan)
Did you ever listen to their studio recreation of the album with Steve Albini?

(sorry, my head's not all-together and this post isn't written very well, nor is it very concise or easy to make sense of, but it's the best I can do right now!) Hey, klondike! You've highlighted one of the many things that I love about Full Metal Jacket , but I'll get to that in a second. First, th...

I know I can't be the only one who finds Full Metal Jacket to be one large scathing satire on the entire military machine? He's lampooning the entire ridiculous affair from top to bottom or, as is more fitting, from the breaking down of the individual to the building up of the ultra-conformist inhum...

I fail to see what I did wrong and would appreciate public clarification. I was not the only one to call Anne heartless (this site's most esteemed poster did as well) and I was not the only one to refute her many incorrect assertions. I thought, very, very carefully about what I said and how I said ...

Re: The Golden Globes

One thing I can say is that 'grown up' movies were the winners. By that I mean no 'Cars' or 'Panda's '. I was pleasantly surprised to see both Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney win as best dramatic male and female leads , for John Adams (TV). One thing that irritated me was the fact alone that Heath L...

Oh, I was having fun! I suppose that was the driest of dry jokes I could have made. It was just some friendly ribbing in Judith's direction which I fully expect back in kind, probably something along the lines of "Yes, Bryce, there are more important things worth caring about... oh wait, you do...
