    CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST? Yesterday I finally watched CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. Has anyone seen this film?

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    1) No more girls putting alcohol on a guy's wounds. No more guys wincing when the hot girl puts alcohol on their wounds. Alcohol on a wound feels GOOD (I always order my margarita with extra salt on the rim when I have a sore on my mouth) and if a hot girl put alcohol on my wounds, I'd be really...

    George Lucas = comedian

    That is very fair.

    George Lucas = comedian

    Not to get eggs thrown at me on a forum like this, but am I the only one who thought the Indy movies were kind of lame? I appreciate the interest the films brought to archaeology, but there was so little real acting, feelings, drama of any sort other than chases and fights .... and the...

    Wanna Meet a Lounger?

    I'm used to it ... get me around Diamondback some day (soon, I hope) and we'll bore everyone with Rommel In North Africa anecdotes until the cows come home ... in fact there are many boring things which I can discuss endlessly. Indo-European linguistics; Roman demography; ancient Greek...

    Wanna Meet a Lounger?

    Yes, I was not shirtless at Bing's, nor carrying a baby ... :p And it would be my distinct pleasure to meet you again! We can talk rare books.

    Wanna Meet a Lounger?

    We met at Bing's in Walnut Creek, right? Your husband had the beard and the tuxedo on. MK and Deckard and Lady Day were there. Or am I confused? Was that someone else? I mean, I know you were there because I remember you, but maybe I wasn't there (even though I remember it) and instead of...

    Gun Boats - like them or dislike them?

    With big fat welting, too, right? If I understand properly.

    Tamara de Lempicka

    I have loved her forever. She was Polish, and they still remember her in Poland and many average Poles know biographical details about her. My sister in law (also Polish) has done a version of the painting of the woman driving. I have playing cards with Lempicka pictures on the back. Some...

    Battle of the States

    Some of these people on some of these lists are pretty obscure. As in, barely famous outside of their state and to a few aficionados of race car driving, underwater basket weaving stars or artificial-Christmas-tree-manufacturing giants.

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    From a list I subscribe to (I, Tim Doran, did not put these together personally): Neanderthals have big mouths: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/05/080502-neandertal-mouth.html ... and this week they have been put on a different part of the hominid family tree...

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    Romans were big on death masks and also big on life masks. The exaggeration of facial lines, warts and such was a huge feature of Roman portraiture. It is now called "verism" and it contrasts most sharply with the idealization in portraiture and general human sculpture practiced by Greek...

    Favourite Horror Flick?

    Eh, just see it. There's some juicy cannibalism in the second one, so if you like that, you'll be pleased. Juicy. I loved that part of it, at least.

    Favourite Horror Flick?

    The first film when seen alone is quite Kafkaesque because there is no definitive explanation of the Cube's existence. The second film explains it ... so the Kafkaesque (or Twilight Zone-esque) quality thereby dissipates. It becomes more of a sci fi thing than a weird parable about people stuck...

    Favourite Horror Flick?

    CUBE <SPOILERS> <SPOILERS> That was a really good film because aside from the science fictionality of it or horrorness of it, it was like a play. An existential sort of play like Sartre's End Game. The characters were a bit hyped up but I recognized people I know. The female Berkeley...

    Favourite Horror Flick?

    I loved CUBE. You mean the one where the strangers wake up in that room with identical rooms and traps in some of them and they don't know how they got there, right? With the Berkeley liberal guessing it's the Government behind it and the working class cop guessing it's Corporations. Great film...
