GRIFT

7/10

Bale's commitment to the part garnishes alot of the points here. Alot of the film is sort of, 'see it to believe it' material.

Healthy in Paranoid Times by OLP

Bob Rock was fired once during this recording session... but when watching the DVD material you get a clear sense that the band is trying to get away from the poppier style they embraced on Gravity.

I think this album is a great step in the right direction and definately more in the vein of Spirtual Machines or Happiness than anything else.

I loved it. I think that they've really put alot of the artistry that was lacking in Gravity back into their music on this record. I think it is one of the better albums released so far this year.

Caddyshack is probably my all time favorite comedy.

My friend Rossi is positive that he was assassinated by the Bush adminstration and that the cancer was a cover up... I don't know how far I'd read into that but Hicks was great.

I saw last night and was blown away. Not only is this a great Batman movie, it is a great film period. I would stand this up artistically against any movie that has come out in the past 5 years.

Even Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle?!

IMO Scorese's most celebrated film was probably Raging Bull. It is widely recognized as the best film of its decade.

Then you have eliminated the system that lays the grounds for your conjecture. Your entire thesis requires reworking.

Damien Rice-

Blower's Daughter

Cannon Ball

Volcano

Bruce Springsteen-

Anything off the new Devils and Dust album.

Except Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Scrooge's nephews as well. By your logic that gives them two fathers, and makes Donald and his illeged father brothers. Your system is flawed.

Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen has a pretty sick sax solo.

Also, check out some Dave Matthews Band. Their sax player gets pretty awesome... especially on the Listener Supported stuff.

Oh, and listen to Rudie Can't Fail by the Clash. That was ska before ska was ska.

Great, next thing we know Seal will be making a comeback.

I thought it was great, especially because she had just been shot in the vest like most typical cop shows... then BOOM surprised the hell out me. Plus she was probably the biggest supporting character... so I'd say it was a good 'Holy shit' finish.

Throne of Blood... it is Kurosawa's samurai adaptation of MacBeth and it fucking rocks.

Check out Liquid Tension Experiment... it is all instrumental stuff and is akin to some of the stuff Dream Theater does. Basically they sit around and think up music that is considered impossible to perform and then perform it.

Predator 7/10... Probably one of the best pure action movies ever (pure action being a film that carries no underlying message or dogma.)

Platoon 9/10... My favorite Vietnam movie.

My, my, my, where to begin?

I absolutely loved the movie. I was a little bit offed at first when I saw Madson's delivery of his first few lines to Bruce. I thought he sort of over played the comic vibe in their opening sequence. By the end he was much better.

Willis' character Hartigan was definately the best developed, and had some of the best lines in the film... (ie the palsy line, then I'll punch out god etc...)

Marv was the most badass of the characters, and certainly the best performed. It is easy to see how people used to say that Mickey Rourke was going to be the next Brando before he slipped into retirement. I am glad to see that he is out. (sidenote, has he made anything that wasn't done by troublemaker since returning?)

Clive Owen's sequences with a dead Benicio were great. It reminded me of Lord of the Flies for a little bit. I am not a big Rosario Dawson fan, and her acting in these scenes bolstered that for me.

I agree that long hair suits her better.

41? Nigga Please.

I am probably the only one to salivate over Devils and Dust... Oh man. Share the love.

There is a great group called Clann Zu and they are just about the best band to come out of Ireland. Half the lyrics are in english, and half are in Irish Gaelic. I recommend them highly... A good song to start with is Words of Snow.

http://www.clannzu.com/ You get alot of their music under downloads from the site.

I REALLY recommend checking it out. It is unlike anything else listed above.

Jesus, you people have been watching too much Paulie Shore is Dead. Not every celebrity who dies before their time is celebrated like they were geniuses.. People were sad when Aliayah died, but no one called her Aretha Franklin. People where sad when ODB died, but no one called him Tupac or Biggy. And certainly no one called the lead to Drowning Pool a Maynard Keenan when he died.

If Michael kills himself he will be just what he is now, a brilliant star who fizzled into frantic oblvion and only manages to remain in the spot light for the same reasons most people slow down when they pass an accident. He is a shell of the performer he once was and I hope he gets his life back on track... or on track at all.

Plus who the fuck are we to support him killing himself? A couple smug kids on a wrestling board.

Isn't it obvious? They asked him to be the new Pope, and no body turns down that gig.
