Yep, High Tension's ending makes no sense. Was that her in the truck giving herself a blowie with the decapitated head? I'd like to know how that worked. Actually, no I would not. There's a fan edit out there that eliminates the AIYH ending, it's worth looking for if you liked the rest of the film (try fanedit.org).

And I didn't catch on to Shutter Island from the previews, but I figured it out about 10 minutes into the film. Really disappointing.

This post's been up for 12 hours and no one's taken the opportunity for a cheap shot at John Boehner yet? Color me surprised and impressed!

As a NH resident, I can absolutely confirm the ranking of Massachusetts drivers as the worst in New England, at the very least. If you are driving on a NH highway and some idiot swerves across three lanes of traffic to make his off-ramp, 9 times out of 10 you'll see a Mass plate on that car. I've been observing this phenomenon for nearly a decade and it rarely fails to hold true.

Yeah, I can't imagine anyone on a plane having any trouble with that.

"As you can see from this compilation of CG artwork over at DP Shots*, it’s not inconceivable that we’d see films made entirely without human actors. It’s probably the next stage in the evolution of animation."

Seen it. It was called Final Fantasy, and it looked better than most of these images.

Somewhere out there on the net is a video of this kid playing on stage with Ozzy. I remember seeing it a few months ago when this was a new story.

I'm going with JoeyJoeJoe... The Visitor is my favorite Trek episode from any series. An incredibly moving story, and Tony Todd is brilliant in it.

If you're going to include Arnel Pineda on that list, shouldn't Benoit David be there as well? It's practically the identical story.

It's a good thing people are finally thinking about making clothing out of growable, renewable plant matter that... wait, hang on a sec (checks shirt tag -- 100% cotton)... oh. Never mind.

Alas, the numbers show that AA doesn't work any better than cold turkey. Both have a 12-month success rate of around 5%, according to AA's own numbers.

So the question becomes, why *doesn't* AA work? Perhaps because it insists on calling alcoholism a disease (highly debatable) while refusing to treat it as one (the only cure is turning your life over to God)? Or because it preaches self-victimization rather than empowerment? Or because it's really kind of a cult?

And yes, I have first-hand experience with 12-step programs. There is value in 12-step, for sure, and some good ideas. Also some very bad ones.

Very cool, but the final exit at around 1 minute is easily the most terrifying thing I've seen today. Creepy as heck, I've got shivers!

A very good idea, although I'm not sure why the building looks like a giant Brita pitcher.

According to Shatner, there was nothing "tongue in cheek" about it. The man was dead serious.

"Sting would often have Copeland isolated in a separate studio during recording sessions."

I believe it's common practice for the drums to be isolated in a separate room during recording, isn't it?

Am I alone in my distaste for "art" that requires the defacement of others' property? I'm of the opinion that anyone who endorses this guy's work should have "I LOVE BANKSY" spray-painted in giant pink letters across the front of their house. Same thing, isn't it?
