You would think a sick ass festival is a professional fair for proctologists. Joke put aside, Burning Man is not 'on the playa' but in the middle of the desert so an important part of your enjoyment will be dependent on your planning (to deal with the sun, heat, sand and lack of water).

And they sure has hell don't have any rice to throw away.

If the Thunder made a bullet point list of things to do better after game 2, they probably hit all of their targets, but they somehow did not do what they usually do well: shoot. Anyway I think they lost before Durant missed both free throw in a row (a career first?): They lost when Jackson(?)...

Hey things did not end past midnight this time, so we already know who will be the finalists. Wawrinka[15] somehow prevailed. He jumped onBerdychfrom the get go to break and managed to defend somewhat laboriously his own deal, well helped by a Berdych making a number of unforced errors and...

Again: Romeo + Juliet was well received.

I don't know who the Iron Patriot is, but it worked with the image vs identity theme of the movie, so it has a point.

Photochop alert!

Chicago is by Rob Marshall, not by Baz Luhrmann. Looking at Rotten Tomatoes, it appears critics were fan of Strictly Ballroom, enjoyed Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!, but really did not care for Australia and even less so for this version of Gastby. I'll see it anyway because of Di Caprio and...

I have not seen Blue Valentine so I really cannot compare the two movies. But Nicolas Winding Refn being Nicolas Winding Refn the 'more Drive' hitch will probably be scratched by Only God Forgives.

She is coaching now! I saw her working for Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova the other day. Hingis' mother is also still coaching, she is trying to turn a talented swiss teenager called Belinda Bencic into a pro.

Late in the fourth, three good defensive sequences by the Bulls and yet three three points play by Miami...

Whenever Robinson is on the screen it feels like I am seeing a 4:3 feed in 16:9!

Another day, another round. Wawrinka[15] started the match just like he ended the previous one: hitting big on both wings and painting the lines. His meetings withTsongahave almost always been long and hard fought battles ending with Tsonga as the victor, but the swiss leading 5-0 after 20...

People mention Drive over and over, but The Place Beyond The Pines is from the writer/director of Blue Valentine.

The 1958 version by Kinoshita or the 1983 version by Imamura? I remember the Imamura version being packed with a strange brand of dark humor and not particularly sad.

So yeah... after I posted, Kirilenko won one of the following 11 games... Anyway: ATP. Wawrinka[15] was keen to not be the other victim ofDimitrov, but the bulgarian started things just like he left them two days ago (but without the cramping!). Great variations off both wings, finding the...

The title of this thread is really fitting considering the number of dog related scenes!

I don't like it when video games become the art of dressing up a business model.

Note that it is an EpiLad not an EpiLady. Don't use the wrong one!

I am a very big fan of Children of Men, but, I must say, I am even more intrigued by the cast here. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney? I am curious to see that.

I have not followed the WTA for a while so I am not sure who is in form and who is not at the moment. That said, Serena is the heavy favorite whenever she plays. Consider this, in 27 matches this year she lost just the two and one was the crazy upset against Sloane Stephens at the Australian...

Game 1: Butler + Robinson = 48 points Game 2: Butler + Robinson = 20 points That did not help!

So... Monte-Carlo came and went.Djokovicarrived there no knowing if he would play or not as he twisted his ankle in Davis Cup, hobbled through his first two matches and then mowed through the next two rounds (thanks to poor attendance and upsets, that meantNieminenandFognini) and started the...

I have a joke for you: A freudian psychoanalyst and his lacanian colleague cross path in the street. 'Hello' says the freudian. 'Hello' says the lacanian. Once they have walked past each other the freudian wonders: 'Did I say enough?' and the lacanian asks himself: 'Did I say too much?'

My vote is that they are angels or demons (depending on the political leaning of the script writer).

It's not really fair to characterize the twist as "lol just kidding." It goes along perfectly with the themes of image/identity and 'creating your own monsters.' I understand you point about being disappointed because it seemed at first their Mandarin was a good reinvention of the character.

As far as scheduling for the actors go, I think it's not much of an issue considering there are that many characters and that the seasons are relatively short. Most of the cast has probably less than two weeks of shooting per year.

Seems like a key to this serie is how well Martin and Jackson perform.

To be fair, The Joker has very little in the department of super hero comics mythology retardation. He is a disfigured and insane man, so a character with much potential in any fiction. The Mandarin on the other hand is littered with it. We are talking about a guy who found an alien spaceship. A...

The difference is one of player's role. With a controller, you control the spaceship. With a flight-stick and rudder you become the pilot. It's a bit like using a wheel and pedals for a car game (only a bit because a wheel with a big range of motion offers also a greater control ability)...

Anyone here read some Thomas Pynchon or this book in particular?

If there is a thin line that separates brilliant from ridiculous, this movie, for me, crosses it back and forth in all categories (like the use of music - here totally bullshit, there totally great). Still, the story and structure were unexpected and there is a classic tale feel to it that is...

These statements have very little connection with reality. First, Allen is making absolutely mainstream movies for a very wide audience. Second, with almost a movie a year in the past forty years, there are ups and downs, but recently Match Point (2005), Whatever Works (2009 - split reception...

A Better Tomorrow III! Certainly the bestI can think of. Somehow it's tough to remember prequels. I am not sure if it's because of the way the brain archives things in memory, because there are a lot fewer of those than there are sequels or simply because most are not memorable. Oh! Another and...

With Grave of the Fireflies already mentioned you would think the next anime that should come to mind is Five Centimeters Per Second. For those who do not know it, it's a drama in three parts (child, teenager, young adult) about a guy who is stuck loving his childhood girlfriend. Near the end...

The up side of all these injuries is that it allowed a number of lesser known player to have their sink or swim moment and most swam, which is pretty cool. Back on this Bulls vs Heat serie: a Chicago win is a big surprise as a number of things need to conspire for it to happen. So, even...

I like how the Miami "fans" leave when their team is four points down with 25 sec to go.

I am an easy target and cry at movies too often to make a list (though I should try and be scientific about it, because some things make me all teary eyed when barely intended to be sad and some obvious tear-pulling moments have little to no effect... meh). I'll list the latest time I got really...

I read a little about the 1968 Democratic primary and it's pretty crazy. Johnson was initially running for a third mandate (made possible by the fact he did not serve two full terms) and it was assumed he would run unopposed as he was the incumbent, but McCarthy decided to challenge him as an...
