    Inglourious Basterds & Tarantino in general

    I don't think Tarantino has done anything of note since Jackie Brown, and that was just an OK film. The Kill Bill's were an expensive overwrought Kung Fu flick. He's basically lived on his laurels since Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, which are two excellent films. But since then he's just...

    What are you drinking?

    I'm partial to Amstel light and Mai Tai's. You?

    Do you believe in...

    I love that answer. Here's mine: Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart, how the music can free her whenever it starts? Absolutely! What actor/actress would you want to play you in movie? I'm with esart on this, Ellen Page You can witness one event in human history, which one...

    Do you believe in...

    I suppose the question is about love being blind. The 'someone' is a stranger (an adult) to you and the person you love will never reveal you who the person is or why they killed them. Indeed, Calvin and Hobbes is the bomb. =) Thanks for the comment.

    Free Beer!

    OK, now that I have your attention. =P Hi, my name is Lindsey, I'm a 21-year-old chemical engineer currently working/living in the US northeast and I'm happy to say that I'm a huge fan of Mr Charles Bukowski. It all started when I took in a little film called 'Factotum' and thus began my...

    ... magic in a young girl's heart, how the music can free her whenever it starts? * And here's few other questions to intrigue the peanut, perhaps stir debate or inspire a laugh: What actor/actress would you want to play you in movie? You can witness one event in human history...

    Good Documentaries

    I'd name a few but you all seem to have covered it. Didn't see Brother's Keeper although I may of missed it. Apart from loving Burn's Civil War I also enjoyed his Baseball series. Waco: Rules of engagement, Crazy Love & Overnight were also good.

    The Charles Bukowski Museum?

    Couldn't agree more. The man's legacy is in his work and not found on some money grubbing tour through a dull home in San Pedro. Sorry, I'm just not interested in seeing the toilet where Buk took one of his famous beer shits.

    Harvey Pekar dies at age 70!

    Until I came across this thread I had no idea he had passed. We get to hear 10,000 times a week what Lindsay Lohan is having for lunch in jail (hold the jokes) but the media doesn't have time to mention Harvey's death. RIP

    Yes He Was A Beat Writer!

    And there you have it. The Beats weren't so much a writting style as they were a cultural movement. As with any cultural movement one could simple dissociate themselves from it. If you were a rock band during the 90's you could have easily been labeled Grunge. But Grunge was a movement rather...
