    RIP to Simmons. That being said, I never got the hype for Hyperion and Simmons took a dramatic Islamophobic turn in his later fiction.

    Off-Topic Movies Thread

    I like Minnie and Moskowitz quite a lot, though it feels like an adulterated version of Cassavetes inasmuch as it was greenlit as part of Ned Tanen's youth-cult push at Universal. Granted, Tanen also greenlit The Last Movie, which is maximalist Hopper. I think Cassavetes make the most...

    Off-Topic Movies Thread

    I'll just toss this into the thread: I had reason to watch The Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Opening Night recently, and I finally feel like I have a handle on how Cassavetes approaches filmmaking.

    I thought the pitch for Sinners was basically Django Unchained meets From Dusk Til Dawn.

    Politics Trump Admin Propaganda

    More or less. For the right, the three post-communism bogeymen tend to be the civil rights movement, feminism, and environmentalism. The sixties are the obvious locus.

    Off-Topic RIP Robert Duvall

    My only beef with Wiseman was that he only makes his documentaries commercially available at an institutional as opposed to retail level (i.e. for more $$$). Titticut Follies and parts of High School used to be on YouTube and the like, but they often disappear due to copyright claims.

    Off-Topic RIP Robert Duvall

    Yeah, he stars in the 1971 (??) Warner Bros. version but not, of course, in the student film version that preceded it.

    Politics Epstein Files |

    I thought the same thing, so I searched for it on the DoJ database. The Epstein-Riley email, re: calling Trump, is real.

    Yes, the Watkinses.

    In all likelihood, the first person posting as Q was Paul Furber, a loser South African software developer looking for (anonymous) internet clout. But who knows--maybe he's encouraged to do this shit by moot, the 4chan founder. (By the way, please smash the subscribe button on this post).

    Off-Topic Super Bowl LX - FOOD, ADS, HALFTIME SHOW

    AngryMetalGuy thought they were sufficiently NSBM to remove its review of a record. At the very least, the band seems Nazi-curious. More importantly, you're telling me that girls don't go for boys in JNCO jeans headbanging to metal?

    Why are you playing NSBM or NS-adjacent BM in the first place?
