Oscar Corrections and Retractions

Have you ever watched a trailer for a film that announced it's star as “Academy Award Winner Blah di Blah” and thought to yourself “I can't believe THEY won an Academy Award”? Or wondered why former Academy Award winners were making films like “The Devil's Advocate” or “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”? I certainly have. [...]

Rad Movie Meme!

This is a really rad meme from Maura_F 1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies. 2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. 3. Post them here for everyone to guess. 4. Looking them up is cheating, you jerks! 1. “Hey! Let's make the wiener kid sing his song!” 2. “I haven't [...]

The Return of Cox

I just learned that one of my favorite directors, Alex Cox, is releasing a graphic novel sequel to the 1984 classic film Repo Man! In the interview, Cox discusses why he was unable to film the sequel and why Otto is now called Waldo, as well as the long-delayed DVD release of Walker and his [...]

My Sentiments Exactly

The folks over at Something Awful have perfectly captured what bugs me about Diablo Cody by leaking her new super-secret screenplay, Quotey! THIS is the screenplay that should have been nominated for an Academy Award. Be sure and read every juicy little tidbit, nugget-oleos!

Unsung Heroes Finally Get Song

My buddies, King of Hearts Productions are finally releasing their long-anticipated documentary, Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears, about the legendary Seattle band, TAD today. The film premiers tonight at the Varsity Theatre in the U-District at 7pm. I've already seen it and I can honestly say that it's very intriguing and, at some points, quite [...]

Review: Black Book

WWII Just Got a Whole Lot Sexier Who doesn't love a movie about the Holocaust? I'm sure that's why Paul Verhoeven, the illustrious Dutch director behind Total Recall, Robocop, Starship Troopers and, most importantly, Showgirls, decided to throw his hat into the Third Reich Ring. And I'm glad he did. Black Book while not as [...]

NFT Radar: Cafe Amore

X-Posted from Not For Tourists. I’m not really sure what they’re going for over at Amore. The name and décor as well as the thesis statement on the menu implies upscale foodie. The prices (low) and the vibe suggests hipster pandering. I appreciate their attempt to create atmosphere by projecting movies without sound onto the [...]

NFT Radar: Vessel

X-Posted from Not For Tourists. I was lured to Vessel by the promise of cheap champagne during happy hour. I stayed for the giant glasses they filled with my libation of choice. Vessel appears to be primarily a drinking destination, with upscale food as an afterthought. The Croque Monsieur Petit sandwiches, while delicious, are basically [...]

The Puritanical Age

Newsweek reports that the Amsterdam City Government is attempting to close down the Red Light District, citing general shadiness. From the sound of the article, however, they just have some naive, prudish bastard in charge who wants to “clean up the city”. The article is right to compare it with Giuliani's policies. I call it [...]
