Nice. I've been meaning to see this one for a while now. Might be obliged to jump it up my queue at this point. ALSO! Wicked thanks for the 'Phantom Tollbooth" ref. Didjaknow? This month is the fiftieth anniversary of its printing. I only mention it because a) it's like, one of my FAVORITE...

What now? Most people are offhandedly gay? Could you explain that? I think I agree, except I honestly have no idea what that means.

Jeez. Shame on EVERYONE for not mentioning Django Reinhardt. Dude played with only two fingers of his left hand and he's STILL the most amazing guitarist that ever lived. I also recommend Stephane Grappelli, who played with him a lot. Also, if you liked the Cowboy Bebop song, may I...

1) Beyond Good and Evil: Yes, the sneak stuff is fairly shallow and more puzzle-y than strictly stealth, but it's entertaining nonetheless, and it mixes it up nicely with all the other awesome stuff in the game. 2) Thief: The Dark Project: Which just defines stealth games in my opinion...

Not quite. This joke isn't as simple as inserting random values into the "What's the difference between X and Y? Z" formula. The postulation of a non-sequiter punchline as the source of humor is actually relevant here, as nonsense and illogical progression is central to surrealist aesthetic...

Ooh, I second Lagaluvin. I'm not a whiskey drinker, but that stuff is goooooood. (Does this mean I'm a mentalist? Confused now...) ...Though not actually whiskey. Plus it's foul. Then again, I'm quite fond of Montezuma Gold Tequila, so I'm hardly one to talk.

'Scool, man. I didn't mean it as a criticism. My Tongue-in-cheek button seems to be sticking. In all seriousness, I respect a dude whose favorite film is Scanners. It is freaking awesome. Personally, I really like Videodrome. It's like Existenz without the suck. And I'm seriously...

Fact is, David Cronenberg himself made several movies that were greater -- I think specifically of The Fly and Naked Lunch. Hey, it's okay. It's a movie about Michael Ironside blowing up people's heads with his mind. I can see how you made the mistake.

Greatest Movie Ever? Isn't that <link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane>Citizen Kane? I mean like, officially? And by the way: Wrong. But in the best possible way. :)

...And what he said. Awesome, awesome flick.

Well, you need to fix that. It's great. OT: ... Never mind. Sorry, I guess I don't really have anything on topic to say. Except maybe that the villains hang it up as a gesture towards the societal acceptance of mediocrity that the movie thematically rails against, save Syndrome, whose...

I had a friend who would do party tricks with his dogtag chain. He'd shove one end up one nostril and out his mouth, and then up his other nostril and back out, and then hook the ends together and run the chain through his sinuses. Which always freaked everyone out. And then one day he got...

I have never, to what I consider my credit, actually walked out of a movie. But I did see Batman and Robin for free and still seriously considered asking for a refund.

Yeah, could you be a bit more specific? But off the top of my head, my (highly biased) Film Studies Primer would include the following: Metropolis (1927) Battleship Potemkin (1925) King Kong (1933) La Grand Illusion (1937) The Wizard of Oz (1939) Pinocchio (1940) Citizen Kane (1941)...

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
