you're gonna hate it.

I was pretty disappointed with The Jungle Book. Fantastic CGI but way too weak on the plot for my tastes. I know there was kind of a script they had to work off of but they could have made things a little more cohesive and a little less cliche

That was the dumbest [expletive] n' thing I have EVER seen in my life. What the hell?

I'm not even going to give you a clue what it's about to not ruin the entire experience should you choose to watch it, like for starters that it's a [expletive] cartoon and that when he eats the girl out I wanted to vomit.

i watched the robert redford film "quiz show" with ralph fiennes and john turturro, among others last night.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiz_Show_%28film%29

i'd heard of it for a long time and finally got around to it and don't know what to say other than i enjoyed it. one thing that blew my mind was, in wikipedia'ing it and following various links i learned that the rob morrow character, richard goodwin, who led the investigation not only become a speech writer, etc for john kennedy and others but also married doris kearns(goodwin), the famed historian/writer. also learning about the van doren family was fun/interesting.

here's a fuzzy version on youtube

That was a pretty cool film, as I recall.

I actually got sent a few review DVDs by Wild Eye Releasing a bit back, they're an independent horror distributor and have released some of the best and worst horrors of recent years - check out "President Wolfman" and "They Will Outlive Us All", both fantastic. But last night I watched...

The Turnpike Killer
Made by people who think the problem with all that horror is there's not enough blood, not enough naked screaming women and the endings are too cheerful.

I guess I don't see what's spoilery about that. I mean, they're all new characters anyway.
