Looper was entertaining as hell. I am almost tempted to go back and re-watch with Rian Johnson's free commentary track he released, which is a really cool idea to get people to go watch a well-made movie twice. ie, download his podcast and listen to it with one ear while you re-watch the movie.

Unfortunately for Rian, I'm a [expletive] cheapskate and he's lucky I actually paid for a theater ticket in the first place. But still. Go see Looper. I thought I had it figured out 45 minutes in, and then it got complicated. Which is what any good cerebral sci-fi flich shoud do.

"Mulholland Drive", history's happiest combination of high cinematic art and hot lesbo sex.

I thought that was Wild Things.

Vampyros Lesbos

Vampyros Lesbos

Oh man, what's that woman's name? That's a Dario Argento movie isn't it? I remember being a little bored, but some parts are memorable.

Vampyros Lesbos

I immediately thought of this but couldn't think of the exact name and didn't want to google "lesbian vampire movie" at work.

Oh man, what's that woman's name? That's a Dario Argento movie isn't it? I remember being a little bored, but some parts are memorable.

The guy's name is Jesus Franco, and he's right there with Jean Rollin for hilarious European 70s horror/sexploitation. I'm not sure the names of any actresses.

What I remember most about it is that the sex was awfully tame, even by 70s standards and especially for a movie named Vampyros Lesbos; and there was a lot of hackneyed, over-the-top obvious symbolism with scorpions and the like. Apparently Quentin Tarantino used part of the score in Jackie Brown, which is perhaps the most Quentin Tarantinoiest thing anyone has ever done.

I cheered in the theater when Laura Harring hopped into Naomi Watts' bed.

Wildly enthusiastic review for "Argo" at Grantland.

The above piece also recounts the very strange arc of Ben Affleck's career. Ben Affleck is one of our best mainstream action-thriller directors around. Ben Affleck.

Anyway, the other "Argo" reviews I've seen haven't been that amped but they've all been positive.
