    What's with all the -sism accusations lately?

    Easter eggs often imply something hidden, something you have to go out of your way for to even see it. The stuff you're talking about usually get shoved right up you nostrils into your frontal lobe. ..which is completely not the point of this thread. The sad thing: If somebody calls...

    One sentence to describe a filmmaker.

    Terry Gilliam: The Good: Great imagination and amazing storytelling. The Bad: Lots of bad luck and a lack of restraint. Guillermo Del Toro The Good: He's like a new Terry Gilliam. The Bad: He's like a new Terry Gilliam. Edgar Wright The Good: Great eye for composition, layered...

    Why Movies Suck Now Part One: The Myths

    Let's see, a romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Sarah Jessica Parker. She is the resident vet at a zoo (financial trouble at the zoo is an option here) who loves animals more then she loves people.

    Escape to the Movies: Inception

    I liked it, but I'm not yet in the "love it" camp. First, it's a shame they got Leonardo di Caprio for this part. Don't get me wrong, I loved the guy in Catch me if you can, but in this movie his lackluster performance is outclassed by the stellar acting of everyone else. Second, I'd...

    What was your best concert experience?

    3) Queens of the Stone Age at Rock Werchter (Werchter)/Triggerfinger at Watt (Rotterdam) A shared third place for two great rocking shows. Both performances were pure embodiments of Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll. 2) Tool at The Heineken Music Hall (Amsterdam) I've seen a couple of their...

    Best Non-Original Soundtrack

    Wet was really good indeed Others: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. If you're into stuff like Tiamat at least. House of the Dead: Overkill

    Any beer snob escapists? If so, any favorites?

    My two favorite beers are the Belgian Pauwel Kwak (a slightly sweet amber 8,4%) and the Canadian Dieu du Ciel's Rigor Mortis Abt (a dark, complex spicy quad of about 10.50%). Kwak is quite easy to come by, Rigor Mortis Abt is only produced in small batches and harder to obtain. I'd highly...

    Your National Anthem: Do you like it, and what would you change it to?

    All anthems should be written and/or performed by either Mark Lanegan, Nick Cave or Tom Waits. This means all anthems suck, except Australia's unofficial anthem.

    The Spoiler That Changed the World

    It's a really big shame Marvel no longer holds the movierights to Deadpool. Otherwise we could have a bunch of Symbiote-infected dinosaurs running through New York in the Avengers movie.

    Escape to the Movies: Iron Man 2

    I'm loving Sam Rockwell more every time I see one of his movies. Rockwell & Downey in the same movie? Awesome!

    Escape to the Movies: Repo Men

    Man, your top-three list made me grin like a child. I thought I was the only one who loved those. And you mentioned Old Boy and Zwartboek, which makes this officially the most awesome video on the internet.

    What does it take to earn a legit version of the title "Hardcore Gamer"

    That's about right. A footballer is somebody who plays football. A tennis player is somebody who plays tennis. It doesn't matter if the tennis player plays double or solo, it doesn't matter if the football player plays quarterback or any other position. A gamer is somebody who plays games, no...
