    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Sorry, but where exactly was Don's good side in the last episode. He seemed pretty nasty and manipulative to me.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I liked it. It was funny. Hinted at a lot of things that may develop. The Sopranos often - almost always - worked like this too, with every line or situation offering multiple layers of meaning or possibility; but it may have seemed more interesting because there was also always the threat...

    Rules on Shoe color?

    It's not wrong, it looks great. Rules suck.

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    Moody orphan dresses in rubber bat suit and dukes it out with maniacal, cackling nutbar. *ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

    Travel Brochures

    Travel related, but really a showcase for a fabulous collection of 20s/30s art deco travel literature, TRAVEL NOSTALGIA, a new blog, is really worth a look.

    And flesh munching roaches. Fun, eh?

    Post-Apocalyptic Films of the 80's

    Yeah, Escape from New York. Is it post-apoclyptic or merely dystopian? The Quiet Earth was a good choice too. This is earlier than 80s, but my 9 year old self loved it: Damnation Alley

    Sword and Sorcery Movies from the 80's

    Lucio Fulci is the Mozart of stinky-bad Z grade filmaking and Conquest is one of his stinky-baddest. Topped in awfulness only by the few moments in Conan the Barbarian when Arnold reads (phonetically, I guess) his long prayer to Crom. S&S just has to be bad to be good.

    What happened to TCM?

    Oh look.... the world hasn't ended yet. Rush Hour is a FILM and not a "movie", and is therefore - by extension - pretentious and condescending? Weird. Rush Hour was listed as TBA in my guide so I'm guessing that it may not have been the first choice for that slot. In any case, the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Me too. Took my three year old and we both had fun. Much better than our last trip to the movies (Speed Racer) where he had a blast and I was nauseous.

    Swingtown

    I was hoping it was going to be a little more... interesting. I guess I wanted something more in the Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Shield, etc. mold. The writing was limp, the characters boring, the entire pilot had a sense from the first few minutes of "this is where we're...

    If indy wore a watch, which one would it be?

    Then it would obviously be something computer generated that made funny faces and did double takes. It may still appear in the next DVD release of Raiders.

    NERD ALERT!!

    It did look like Locke in the glimpse we got last season, but Jacob has been pretty much represented as Christian Shepherd for this season as far as I recall. Maybe Jacob is something else, not a person exactly, but something else that takes various forms using time travel or loops or...

    NERD ALERT!!

    I liked that the first fifteen minutes of the finale were HBfL and disposed of most of the situations that had been set up previosuly. The fight with Sayid was very well handled, and I don't normally think very much of roll-in-the-dirt fight scenes... I've seen too many of them. The identity...

    New Indy Flick Poll

    I'm much more interested in Steven Spielberg as an American filmaker than in Indiana Jones as a character, but in a nostalgic mood, a couple of my old, old friends met up to see the latest IJ. It was better than I expected it to be. It looked good for the most part, not as much of the...
