I'm happy to say I am with you 100 percent on this one. The most annoying piece of machinery ever invented. A special place in hell awaits the bastard that came up with this freakin' contraption. I agree completely. They are like torture devices. Why the fuck do they have to be so goddamn NOISY??????? Wouldn't be surprised if they pollute a lot, too. Whatever happened to good old fashioned RAKES?

. Good, now it's safe to take a jaunt into interplanetary space.

Isn't the title of this thread also a children's song?

Somebody is old! He's not the only one. Hang on, I'll google him... Ah, yes, the actor, singer, producer, composer and screenwriter born on August 28, 1969 in Hermosa Beach, California. That Jack Black! ...And who did occasional appearances on Mr. Show. His big break was as the record store clerk in High Fidelity. THAT Jack Black.

Probably.

They just had Charlie Haden, his daughters, son, wife, and, yes, son-in-law Jack Black on Fresh Air today. They were plugging some new album that the whole family is on.

Yeah, how's he doing?

Did anyone mention Lurch, from the old Adams Family show? "You ranggg?" Actually, the super-big heads on tiny bodies of the early Peanuts strip works fine. But cartoons are a whole different continuum.

Those nutty Germans...

Shouldn't they have this thing in October?

I see they passed over Wile E. Coyote again. Tsk, tsk.

TV commercials at movie theaters. That blows.

...And they leave their audience saying world like "ouevre."

Ain't that the truth!!

Oh yeah, the Castro's not exactly the most family-friendly neighborhood in town.

Tonight? Don't know.

Ended up seeing Burn After Reading last night. My wife wanted to see it. Turned out to be not as bad as I feared, so I enjoyed myself. (As always, the best "movie helper" is low expectations.) Didn't at all appreciate it when (SPOILER!) Brad Pitt's character gets killed. His character was an oddly likeable goofball. But that's typical of the shit the Coen Bros. like to pull on their audience. I'd put it at second tier Coen Bros. at best, but enjoyable fluff.

Just get the "Best of-" and start there. If you like it then you can buy the others any time. If not, you can stop there.

I heard it was withdrawn because of its controversial title.

Yes, in retrospect I find it hard to believe that I only went to see him at the Copley Plaza ONCE---especially since it was virtually free. Oh well....

I must admit, the "Book Antiqua" font just makes me skip Hepcat's posts.

I must admit to agreeing with Kalo almost completely on this subject. (Is that a crime?) I dare say I probably dislike Raising Arizona even more than Kalo. Although Barton Fink had it's moments, overall I'd rate it as one of their failures, at least as far as I'm concerned. Never saw The Man Who Wasn't There. Other than those points, yeah, I'm with you 100% brother.

The Hudsucker Proxy is certainly " hateable" but Jennifer Jason Leigh's fingernails-on-a-blackboard performance is only one of many things wrong with it. Truly must rank as one of the Coen brothers most misconceived films.

Nice cover, too. (I've got it on the Curtis Fuller Mosaic so I don't have that cover.)

Chalk me up as a big Raising Arizona hater. Terrible movie.
