Whatever your thoughts on Funny Games we can all agree that whenever it’s been mentioned we get the best, most civilized discussions in the comments.

Also – can no one second my nominations of Bounce and Frailty?? Take your pick – The Gwyneth and The Affleck in a plane-crash-leads-to-love rom-com OR the batshit insane religious fever dream that is Bill Paxton’s directorial debut.

Who’s with me????

If anyone actually wants to know what caused the financial crisis, Michael Lewis’ article for Portfolio.com is a good place to start: http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2008/11/11/The-End-of-Wall-Streets-Boom/?page=3#page=3

That was the most coherent, intelligent (and NON-pretentious) discussion I’ve ever seen on Videogum. Well played.

Relax. They could just be new flashbacks. It’s happened before.

I didn’t realize al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade did movie nights.

You’ve not seen Worst until you’ve seen Bounce (Gwyneth + Affleck + plane crash, but no don’t get your hopes up, they survive) or Frailty (the directing debut of Bill Paxton! definition of necessary).

Gabe is human, you know, and being the sole provider of content for this site is going to take some getting used to. Patience, people.

Personally, I prefer the Grouch Town angle. After all, Everything Is Terrible.

Nunchucks don’t kill people. Ninjas wielding nunchucks kill people.

When will the government get wise to this shadowy menace?!?!

Personally, I’ve been leery of Mr. Bale since this blind item in Page Six last summer:

Which hunk in a summer movie is a violent, closeted homosexual? The heartthrob snuck into his ex?s apartment a few months ago and raped him so violently, the ex ended up in the hospital, and the actor paid him $500,000 to keep his mouth shut.

This was last August, so Dark Night was all the rage, plus there had just been that odd incident where his mom and sister called the cops on him in London, and since then we’ve all heard the ultra-mega-insane Terminator:Salvation meltdown….

To me, the pieces fit.

I say The Forgotten is the most ripe for hilarious dissection.

i have to say, this ongoing war of words between Fox and Bay has me despising Megan Fox just a little bit less each day…….

this is, without exaggeration, the most dreadful thing i’ve ever heard.

“Celebrity might be a Sad Clown Parade today”

Well, you could make a convincing case that MJ inaugurated the Sad Clown Parade, or at least part of it (not the kind involving people so desperate for notoriety they’ll go on any reality show imaginable. obvs.)

Look, he died. It’s sad I guess (not really for me, I feel totally disconnected from it). But can we all agree that the whole media circus has taken absurdity to a new level? And that memorial yesterday? That was like a whole new level…

But I ask – what IS the appropriate requiem for a celeb of MJ’s stature?

I honestly don’t know, but this parade has bordered on death-cultish.

 +9Posted on Jul 8th, 2009 | re: An Open Letter To Corey Feldman (73 comments)

The only ridiculous thing is that the media spent the last 15 years disparaging him at every opportunity, but now he’s dead so he’s a hero. It’s not surprising at all, it happens with everyone, it’s just absurd.

MJ’s memorial was like a drag-queen version of Ronald Reagan’s.
