Kindly elaborate. I'm fully aware of the plotholes and such, but I don't particularly care about them, the reason I mentioned the script is mainly on account of the dialogue.

I'll chime in with my favourite writing team, which is any combination of Leigh Brackett, Jules Furthman and William Faulkner (Faulkner also being one of my favourite writers in general), mainly for their work with Howard Hawks on To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep and Rio Bravo among others.

I seem to remember me pimping Sister Ray in some thread a long while back, but apart from Inc I believe there wasn't anyone who agreed with my assesment of it's greatness.

You should pick up that album post haste, I feel it would be right up your alley. Just wait till you actually hear the song, it sounds quite unlike anything else.

Haven't done a covers one in a while, so here we go: 1. Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower 2. Talking Heads - Take Me to the River 3. Sonic Youth - Beat on the Brat 4. The Clash - I Fought the Law 5. The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn!

I Was a Male Warbride

How about this one: John Cale - The Jeweller Very slowly he sipped his tea, not shifting his glance from the thick double spaced printing he read with his jeweller's eye Engrossed in his corner, he passed onto the other inhabitants of the room a scrawled insularity of time and space For both passed him by with the speed of light, not unlike the flow of substance, however varied, into that lysergic entity known as the black hole He was hardly ugly for his time, and conversation was certainly not lost on him Drastic measures were called for, and as in antiquity the lonely man was blessed with wisdom to the point of desperation But there in his corner, developing around him like a sun, was a climate of such rare beauty that sight and sound could no longer be considered sufficient food for the senses And he had begun to notice, as his hearing failed, that mind and matter were in no way connected to one other, as if in fact the one could not propose and prove its erotic existence in terms of the other What does this word mean? he enquired of the solemn waiter hopefully Nothing for desert sir, came the reply, perhaps a cocktail, demitasse or a herbal essence, it helps the breathing you know sometimes . The bill, if you don't mind , quickly he shot back And as the patter of the feet faded in the room, for he barely heard them now, his eye slowly began to close, and by the time he emerged on the sunny street he was forced to rely entirely on the other eye for help, but happily it continued its many functions, blinking gently for lubrication, and registering images It was rush hour, in Hawaii only 10am So, turning into his street, he stopped at the drug store and bought an eye patch that soon covered the reluctant eye Climbing the stairs he pondered what to do next, he would call a doctor and have tests made, eat nourishing food and if necessary consent to surgery, the last resort of the gambling man And at 1am he awoke from a dream and after fumbling his way in the obolescent light of his room he peered into the rusty veins of his mirror and lifted away the patch What he saw astonished him. Where once was tremulous tissue and membrane was now a follicle and perfectly formed vagina with vulva, overgrown and mysterious, unrevealing and still to the untrained eye But in the deep dark recesses of that sticky occlusion lay the unclosing watchful eye of disgust in its closing moments, lunging forward and hungry for the cold light of days

XTC - Making Plans for Nigel

Thumbs up for the This Must Be the Place love, as it's also my favourite of their songs. Anyway, personally I think Fear of Music is their masterpiece, though Remain in Light is only a few steps behind. Speaking in Tongues is also much excellent (and as an added bonus features This Must Be the Place). In fact, all their albums from their debut ('77) up till Speaking in Tongues are generally good-excellent and well worth picking up post haste. The other albums aren't quite as good and are generally more uneven, IMO, but most have some really good stuff on them so they're worth looking into anyway.

AoO, he's up against Cary Grant. Anyway, my vote(s) goes goes to the ones in bold. Robert De Niro vs. Cate Blanchett Patrick Stewart vs. James Cagney Bruce Lee vs. Russell Crowe James Woods vs. Michael Douglas Audrey Hepburn vs. Tom Cruise Gregory Peck vs. Bela Lugosi Malcolm McDowell vs. James Garner Ray Liotta vs. Jack Nicholson Clark Gable vs. William H. Macy Cary Grant vs. John Wayne Kevin Spacey vs. John Cazale Gene Hackman vs. Sean Penn Toshiro Mifune vs. Steve McQueen Denzel Washington vs. Bill Murray Martin Sheen vs. Humphrey Bogart Clint Eastwood vs. Buster Keaton Sidney Poiter vs. Robert Mitchum Frank Sinatra vs. Al Pacino James Stewart vs. Tim Robbins Tom Hanks vs. Robert Redford John Malkovich vs. Tony Curtis Anthony Hopkins vs. Meryl Streep Gene Kelly vs. Marlon Brando Dustin Hoffman vs. Charlton Heston Robert Duvall vs. Harrison Ford Henry Fonda vs. James Mason Anthony Quinn vs. Orson Welles Edward Norton vs. Lee Marvin Morgan Freeman vs. Daniel Day-Lewis Paul Newman vs. Sean Connery Jack Lemmon vs. Charlie Chaplin Kirk Douglas vs. Gary Oldman

I have no standards as to what I'll watch. Regarding what I'll praise, sure, but I'll watch pretty much anything. Regarding Les Carabiniers, it's one of Godard's strangest and most extreme films (of the period atleast) and it's pretty much where he takes his interest in Brechtian distancation devices the furthest. While this does not exactly make pulse-pounding excitement, it makes for a very interesting experiment, and I for one feel that it largely succeeds in it's aims. For a Godard fan it is definitely worth seeing (or buying, depending on disposable income) as it's an important film regarding his development as a filmmaker. A word of warning though, it will most likely require atleast two viewings to be appreciated (it did for me).

Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy of Gold

The following stuff is on it's way: Sunrise The Last Laugh Heat Manhunter - Special Edition (both theatrical and director's cuts) Masters of the Universe The Last Embrace Bananas North by Northwest

As of this very moment: The Byrds - Thoughts and Words Tom Waits - Clap Hands John Cale - Dirty Ass Rock 'N' Roll Popol Vuh - Einsjäger und Siebenjäger Can - Oh Yeah

The Film Noir Collection is a must buy for me.

I'll nominate the following: James Mason Klaus Kinski Gene Hackman Toshiro Mifune James Woods Buster Keaton (and I'm dead serious here) Lee Marvin Harry Dean Stanton EDIT: How the hell could I forget Robert Mitchum? I should slap myself.

The Johnny Depp movie you're talking about is Cry-Baby by John Waters, essentially a kitsch parody of the 1950s. I haven't watched it in years (I have it on tape somewhere though) but I remember thinking it was quite funny. Plus, it's got Iggy Pop in it, that's always a plus. As for the actual topic, the only name that pops up in my head is Depp, depending on where he goes from here. There are of course tons of great character actors who may or may have a big breakthrough role down the line. The problem is that stuff like that is almost impossible predict, so thusly I can't give a real answer.

I recently picked up Fifth Dimension by The Byrds, which I've been loving so far. Not as good as Younger Than Yesterday, but, then again, what is?

I picked up Three Colours - Blue a couple of days ago.
