I've hung in with R.E.M. for so long, I really hope they've done it this time. I'm very hopeful.

Little too much Stipey-ness, but the band sounds good again. The text on the video isn't helping. But I agree with most of your assessment.

You fickle bitch.

You're in for a treat when you see Ratatouille on a HDTV. That movie may be the best looking DVD I've ever seen(upscaled it's impeccable), I can't imagine how good it would look on Blu Ray.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be offering critical and personal analysis of the films of Steven Spielberg, and the series is affectionately called TUGGING ON THE BEARD. He's my favorite filmmaker, as pretty much everyone knows, but I've never really articulated why I love his work so much before. I hope you enjoy them, and feel free to discuss them if you like.

WATCH THE SKIES!

Nice, Alan. Good topic for you to write on. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts, starting when I have a little more time to read your entry on Close Encounters this evening.

Have you listened to any of the Minus 5 records? It's the McCaughery-fronted group that Buck and Rieflin have both played in for the last few records. Having those records as part of the extended R.E.M. family for the last few years gave me hope that they'd be able to do something like this.

Fixed some damn editing issues.

I'll definitely pick up some Minus 5. I've been meaning to for the longest.

Nice article. Look forward to more Spielberg write ups. (Sugarland Express, please!) Here's hoping Crystal Skull doesn't let us down!

One more thing I wanted to comment on-Kate Capshaw's Willie. While she doesn't quite annoy me like in the past, and I get what Spielberg was going for, I think it's a mistake in casting and direction.
Everybody loved Marion in Raiders. Karen Allen was awesome. She was tough & sexy. Going in the opposite direction was necessary. It's just for the screwball homage to work-for the character overcome the annoyance factor, we have to want to fuck her (sorry, crude I know). Capshaw doesn't have the sexiness to make the will-they-or-won't-they subtext pay-off. Spielberg should've noticed, but I guess he was blinded by love (what does this say about Amy Irving?) Thanks again. Look forward to more of your series!

I just finished watching the movie about 20 minutes ago. Dug the hell out of your write up and agree* with it. Great movie! great acting! It will just be a real shame if it isn't nominated for something.

* except the leftie stuff but, I won't hold that against your write up.

this is the song to have fun on.

hey this song anf ya'll should play one time

Franco is the aptly-named Prince Fabious, golden boy of the Kingdom, slayer of beasts and recently engaged to a hottie. Danny McBride is his resentful, mopey brother who is often too stoned to...

A grand and epic look at few outsiders surviving the self-destruction of a corrupt and unstable culture. This film is worth studying.

This film boasts an incredible story and a very impressive soundtrack. Trainspotting includes graphic scenes of drug use, sex and death. One of the finest films to come from Scotland, this movie...
