Jim Thompson Appreciation (Killer Inside Me, Grifters)

Excellent writer. He writes crime books from the criminal's point of view. His writing is usually straight forward and clear but the subject matter and tone are very dark and twisted. Great stories. Very engaging. And usually less than 200 pages. http://i48.tinypic.com/fx5f61.jpg One of the darkest ...

Bad 80s Comedies That Really Are Bad

In my quest to find awesome 80s comedies I have come across some really bad ones. And I don't mean good bad like Police Academy 3 or Mannequin or Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (Kidding). I mean bad like ughhhh this is unwatchable and there aren't enough hijinx or training montages or 80s ballads or boo...

Is Contra 3 available to download on the Wii? If it is it fucking blows. Hate that game.

Listening to satelite radio I was surprised how many decent one hit wonders there are.

Pretty great movie. Didn't feel like 3 hours at all.

One of the most gorgeously shot movies I have ever seen ever. Ever.

I understand the nothing lasts and live in the moment theme but the aging backwards felt a little gimmicky.

Yeah not all the characters are apathetic. I know. But what I said definitely applies to his big ones, La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2.

I do hate the disassociated, free floating narrative. When I watch his movies I always feel lost. Which makes me think Fellini's lost.

Not a fan. At all. La Strada is my favorite. The rest bore me to tears. 8 1/2. La Dolce Vita. Nights. Satyricon. Amacord. Booooring. Pretty sure the reason I hate Fellini is his lack of narrative and apathetic, bored characters. Which is funny because I like Antonnioni. Drizzle you tell me why I don...

Pretty fantastic movie.

Rourke is the only person who could have done this.

You'd never think a movie about a washed up wrestler and a washed up stripper could be so damn good.

Oh. And Amy Poehler and her SNL update guy were in the theater.

Agreed. Easily.

What did Morgan say white people stole? Motown, something, and heart disease?

Kenneth might be my second favorite character.

I haven't seen the new season but first two are gold.

Yes.
