I just watched Grindhouse!

starr4all @starr4all (2863) 8 Apr 07

I'm still on a high from it! It is TOTALLY AWESOME! Both the movies were great as well as the fake movie premiers! I'm surprised I haven't heard more people talking about it! It was very good!

anachronisto Grindhouse is a piece of cinematic brilliance--campy, bloody, funny, and bold. The fact that this film is given to the mass audience and not some backdoor independent film shack is a daring step into the realm of anything-goes film-making. This is the best...

Don Imus' racist comments on the radio: Should he be suspended?

hassanchop @hassanchop (820) • United States 9 Apr 07

So ol' Don Imus referred to one of the NCAA woman's final teams as "nappy headed hoes". He's been suspended for two weeks, but his suspension doesn't begin immediately. Al Sharpton called for Imus to be fired, so he's going to go...

anachronisto I'm fairly skeptical about the level of outrage we're seeing in light of Don Imus' statement. First of all, he is in the business of shock radio. The difference between his saying it and Howard Stern saying it is station--Imus is featured on a major news...

Which book could you just not get into?

Kalikala @Kalikala (433) • United States 8 Apr 07

Has there ever been a famous or popular book that you expected to love, but found yourself having trouble really getting into? I've just started reading Jane Eyre, and I've heard so many great things about it, but so far, it...

anachronisto Catch 22. I liked what I read of it, but I just couldn't push through to the finish. I found LOTR equally daunting, but I managed to finish it with a sense for the man behind the legend.

I thought this movie was really good. If you haven't seen it you should definetly go rent it.

anachronisto This film is a high-school renegade sleuth-style flick with decent plot complexity and doable acting. I'd say it pretty much lives up to the impression you get from the trailer, while throwing in a little added bonus of strange, smirk-worthy humor on the side....

anachronisto Yes, Osama Bin Laden will be forgiven for all of his transgressions--if he honestly repents when given the ultimate chance. The same goes for Hitler, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, those American administrations responsible for the gentle extermination of the Native...

Milk chocalte or dark chocalte?

infinity239 @infinity239 (140) • United States 8 Apr 07

Personally, I prefer dark chocalte. It's healthier and I feel it tastes better. Milk chocalte is almost too creamy for me.

anachronisto Milk chocolate seems to me like a sort of virgin chocolate. Having spent my childhood partaking of many various attempts at creative candy, including but not limited to Wonka's chocolate sprinkle doughnut, I've come to see milk chocolate as sort of the...

Any Deadwood Watchers?

CraftyMommy @CraftyMommy (27) • United States 16 Dec 06

I'm seriously upset that they ended this show. Although I am curious to see how they do the 2 movies that will be the finale.

deadwood

anachronisto Deadwood is one of my favorite television series of all time, and its coming to a close at the end of its third season was just one more in the list of blows HBO has given me. With the end of Carnivale, I was unsettled, with Deadwood, saddened, and with Rome,...

Would a Christian fundamentalTaliban-like government ban books

judyt00 @judyt00 (3497) • Canada 8 Apr 07

Would a Christian fundamental Taliban-like government ban books in schools written by gay authors.? And would they hold a book burning to get rid of the ones they don't like?

anachronisto Since Christian fundamentalism has a tradition of anti-intellectualism, I find it quite likely that such a government would seriously persecute the expressive rights of gay authors, even to the point of book banning/burning. Theocratic governments are not...

anachronisto If God created woman, then God possesses the qualities of the feminine, just as qualities of the masculine and everything else created. Since nothing is outside of God, there are no forms from which God drew in creating the universe. As an original work of art...

How did you find out about The Dreden Dolls? I personally found out about them from my friend Chloe' and Topher. They were playing around on the keyboard and Topher started playing Coin-Operated Boy and I was intrigued so Chloe'...

anachronisto I heard Coin Operated Boy on a local radio station, the very last time it was played before the listening audience voted it off the playlist. The fact that the musical palate of the Omaha listening area had given such a risque, multi-layered piece of art the...
