Am I the only one who gets the urge to run down the middle of the street screaming, "ILLUSIONS! THEY'RE NOTHING BUT ILLUSIONS! IT'S ALL A BIG ILLUSION! YOU, SIR, WITH THE BEARD! YOU'RE JUST AN ILLUSION! &c.?"

On YouTube, you can find several lectures on the subject, including those by Susskind, Guth and all those cats.

The Most Dangerous Animal of All: Searching For My Father And Finding The Zodiac Killer
Exactly what it says in the title: true story of an adopted fellow who went looking for his biological father and discovered compelling evidence that his father was the Zodiac Killer. Great read.

Ministry: The Lost Gospels According to Al Jourgensen
When I was about 15, I was at the record store and overheard this hardcore punk skinhead singing the praises of a new album by an industrial band I'd never heard of -- I thought that was pretty cool, and I bought "The Land of Rape and Honey" right on the spot. I was into them for a few years, and liked "The Mind..." and "Psalm 69" fairly well, but I've always held an affection for "The Land of Rape and Honey" and never got rid of it, even if I don't pull it down off the shelf very often anymore.
The wild stories in this book are very entertaining -- and they're wilder than most, with a couple that are quite shocking -- but Al doesn't really have anything interesting to say about them or about anything else, just some dull platitudes. And his little chapter on politics is a pretty embarrassing read, unless you're an idealistic teen-ager. If Al's handlers have only allowed him to communicate with sycophantic teen-agers and other assorted leg-humpers since 1999, that would explain a lot, actually.
Conclusion: download it illegally or buy it used

Time Lapse
Indie sci-fi/thriller with little-to-no special effects. Pretty good, worth a couple of hours' time.
Timecrimes
Spanish sci-fi/thriller with little-to-no special effects. Very good, there's even a dubbed version on YouTube.

Won me over big time after being put off for the first 10 minutes.
Kind of a sketch-comedy bit extended to feature length but it was a good one, if a bit squirrelly.

Blues music is all right, I guess, but nothing enflames my passion quite like a long and lucrative career.
Scrod Prickknee is correct. Assholes like Stevie Ray Vaughan may pay lip service to Son House but their sound is pure B.B. King. That's B.B. King's true legacy: he was so dull that even honky mofos could ape his shit.

The Homesman
Western drama. Not much action, emphasis on the drama. Didn't receive many glowing reviews but I thought it was worth the time and effort.

Non-Music Shit / Taxi driver tricked out of fare by mannequin

Quote from: CityCabs boss Andy Cheesman
Three people got into a cab at Brighton station. It was late at night and they asked to be taken to London.
When they got to London, the first one got out then asked for his friends to be dropped off at a second address.
When he got to the second address the guy got out and said 'my mate?s still asleep, can you take him to his address'. When he got there the driver couldn?t wake him up to start with, then he realised it was a mannequin. He was expecting the last passenger to pay the fare so he lost the whole lot.

Black Sea
Crime (/military?) suspense-thriller. Not sure how plausible it is but it makes for a pretty good movie.

Birdman was good for what it was but people seem enamored by all this "what-goes-on-behind-the-scenes" minutiae bullshit. Really, entertainment is just something to distract you from the boredom of waiting to die: don't go trying to pretend that it's anything more. Actors have an outrageously inflated sense of self worth, likely thanks to the fact that they're lionized by civilizations of complete dumb fucks, as if that's anything to be proud of.
The Sheik
It's pretty good, as far as documentaries go. Though, it seems like these kinds of documentaries are all exactly the same: grew up, success, tragedy, wounded-but-recovering, uncertain future but happy... People's lives are dumb, that's the conclusion here.
I'll confess that I think the Iron Sheik's Twitter is pretty funny. I like the tought that someone like Pat Sajak must be thinking, "Goddamnit, everything else going on in my life, now I got the Iron Sheik on my ass for some reason..."
The Drop
Crime drama; very good
Felony
Australian crime drama; not bad but not really that good

The Ay-rab wasn't trying to impress his friends, it's just that he recently discovered his biological daddy sings for Tumor Warlord:
