The idea of Satan always confused me. So he's a fallen angel, and he rules over Hell...wherein he punishes people who don't obey God? Huh?

I subscribe to Tom Waits' explanation on the subject.

I'd also accept that Waits is the devil incarnate. Which, if true, colour me Satanic.

Super Mario Bros is not a horrible movie.

I actually liked the whole "alternative universe that's populated by evolved lizards" plot line. Admittedly, it may not have been the best execution. Considering that the film is based on a game that features an Italian stereotype who kills turtles, befriends mushroom people, and smashes floating bricks with his head, it could have been worse.

Additionally, I thought Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper were good in their roles given what they had to work with.

What we got was a sloppy film but not entirely horrible one. I still hold the belief that, like Hook, had there been another rewrite we might have gotten something in the realms of Hellboy or Fifth Element.

Terri Gender Bender's band Le Butcherettes

and her other band Bosnian Rainbows

It's worth mentioning that she is completely insane and insanely fun to watch live.

Screaming Females:

I hung out with these guys after one of their shows in New York.
Marissa is a very cool gal.

Her other band, Noun, is also worth checking out.

I just started listening to Niel deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Radio, which is pretty awesome.

I have a friend who sat in her class at UArts. He said that she was out-of-her-mind crazy. I guess, this article seems to prove that.

Meh, I don't know. There's too much exposition and I think it could have used an extra frame of character development. I mean, I didn't get a sense of whether Spock is lawful good or lawful neutral. Plus, The deus ex machina in frame 3 just feels rushed. The score was good though

I was actually about to post the same thing. Yeah, that 5 million budget claim has to be a hoax. I mean, what the hell did they spend it on??? The video looks like "Birth of a Nation" and "The Room" had a baby.

I might be paraphrasing here, but I believe Richard Engel described it as "an insult to Islam and the history of cinema".

I was just reading that on io9. I love the tweet that was mentioned in their comments section:

@rushlimbaugh You should read up on Bane. He's an oversized drug-addict with anger issues who's been popular since the 90s. You'd love him.

After reading this, I finally understand what the hell I was watching last night, and yet... I still don't care about it.

  Show
If I wanted to see a movie filled with christian and pagan allegories about excepting one's death, I'd just watch "The Fountain" again. I'm completely fine with vague or broad mythological references that relate to theme of the story but don't tell me that whole 'Alien' universe revolves around self sacrifice and space Jesus. Ugh.

I feel someone should email Lindelof the 22 Pixar rules of film writing.

#2: You gotta keep in mind what's interesting to you as an audience, not what's fun to do as a writer. They can be v. different.

I'm upset... not at the movie, which I haven't seen yet, but that my cousin got to interview Charlize Theron outside of a castle for the film and didn't invite me. *le sigh*

Anyway, I probably will get around to seeing it, but last night's Game of Thrones finale and this week's Prometheus opening take precedent.

I would also add 'gasland' and 'exit through the gift shop' to Eddie's doc list.
