by Richard Dawkins

As someone smarter than me said, the best praise for this will come in the form of the denials from incensed ‘believers’.

Why We Fight

by Eugene Jarecki

The day after I watched this, and heard the point about the saving grace of the States against the frankenstein war machine is Habeus Corpus, that Military Act was passed. Heil Bush!

not the end (rated 2 stars)

The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13)

by Lemony Snicket

I felt continuosly frustrated, bored and annoyed with all the repetitive padding throughout the series but driven to finish it for some gratification that was always one more book away (read $$$). But it never came and this non sequitur of a final book left me thoroughly unsatisfied and disappointed. You can’t use the medias rea defense for bad planning. It seemed more like a contractual obligation ending. The promise of an goreyesque children’s series was appealing, but the end of the series was an unfortunate event.

How "The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary Edition--with a new Introduction by the Author" changed my life

The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary Edition--with a new Introduction by the Author

by Richard Dawkins

subtley. Flipped my perspective on genetics, motivations, selfishness and altruism. eg. -we don’t have sex to spread our genes, our genes create vehicles to spread themselves. And now I’m gonna sound like one of those university kids who are taking a course and repeat what their professor said like its their own idea – and i guess that’s the idea of memes – just like he said in the book!!!

Le Sceptre D Ottakar (Tintin)

I thought Tintin looked like a wimp, but here he is punching out corrupt police!

A review of "High Tension Unrated" (rated 4 stars)

nobody@allconsuming.net (dunderjeep has clepploplulila) — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:09:23 GMT

High Tension Unrated

by Alexandre Aja

Despite its apparent inconsistenticies, this movie’s first act disturbed me for a few days. I hope that the direction they began this film with will be further explored.

Where does this nihilism come from in some French movies? (see Baise Moi, Irreversible, Going Crazy etc..) Who inspired de Sade? Many horror movies fail because they try to reassure the audience rather than scaring and dismaying us like this movie does.

A question I have about "The Originals"

nobody@allconsuming.net (dunderjeep has clepploplulila) — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:02:52 GMT

The Originals

by Dave Gibbons

I’ve been watching Quadrophenia and can’t help thinking that the g.novel must be credit the movie for it somewhere.

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (Widescreen Edition)

I liked the desaturated goreyesqueness but it would’ve made a better short.

Date Movie (Unrated Edition)

by Aaron Seltzer

A story about "Talk to Her (Hable con Ella)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (dunderjeep has clepploplulila) — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 17:59:10 GMT

Talk to Her (Hable con Ella)

Oldboy

by Chan-wook Park

That fight scene in the prison was cool.

Why I recommend "Julien Donkey-Boy"

nobody@allconsuming.net (dunderjeep has clepploplulila) — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 02:48:00 GMT

Julien Donkey-Boy

by Harmony Korine

By the way the vote was nearly split on if this is worth consuming or not, makes it worth checking out. His movies to me are like those 1000 year old duck eggs you get in china town; if you can get it down, it tastes like nothing else. I loved the living room wrestling match and the dinner table poem scenes.

A story about "The Benchwarmers"

The Benchwarmers

I know this movie was retarded but some scenes made me laugh out loud.

The Barbarian Invasions (Les Invasions Barbares)

I like what they say about intelligence happening between people.

A story about "Jarhead (Widescreen Edition)"

Jarhead (Widescreen Edition)

by Sam Mendes

Gotta agree with unfungames on the fmj allusions, thought I did like the part in the desert when the horse walks up to him.

A story about "Four Brothers (Widescreen Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (dunderjeep has clepploplulila) — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 17:51:32 GMT

Four Brothers (Widescreen Edition)

by John Singleton

Singleton’s wish to direct a blaxploitation movie come true. Right on.

Better as a mini-series. (rated 2 stars)

Freedomland

by Joe Roth

Was this about the missing kid or the neighborhood? An hour into the movie and I still wasn’t sure what it was supposed to be about. If it was the story of the people in the neighborhood, then it needs the time a tv series can give to develop the characters. As it stands, neither plot got the treatment it deserved.

So pretty it's boring (rated 3 stars)

nobody@allconsuming.net (dunderjeep has clepploplulila) — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 22:25:31 GMT

2046

Although the visuals and the soundtrack are beautiful, it felt so contrived that I couldn’t relate to the characters.
