A few pop-culture one-liners
- To all of you complaining about the abrupt last scene in the Sopranos finale: Y'all are stupid.
- To all of you surprised by the low draw for Hostel II: Y'all are stupid. The first one was a hit almost solely because it was released on a light week in January; sending the sequel out in the thick of summer was tantamount to burying it. Did Lion's Gate learn nothing from The Devil's Rejects?
- I found out the other day that the driving, slightly funky song I'd heard and enjoyed several times on the local pop radio station is "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" by Fall Out Boy. I'm surprised and a little ashamed, honestly.
- Now that Paris Hilton has found God, can we stop paying attention to her every move just in case we catch her being rude, mean, stupid or generally unpleasant?

Hey Steve, how's it lookin' for TIFF?
The site should be up and the passes should go on sale in less than a month...
Look forward to reading your take on Hostel II. I've been seeing a lot of people going off on Roth for dehumanizing Heather Matarazzo in the Bathory scene. It'd be nice to hear Matarazzo's take on it too.
girish: Oh, I'm so there. I'm getting my pass the moment they go up for sale, man. This is gonna rule.
socialretard: I think the real problem with the Mattarazzo scene isn't that it's dehumanizing but that it's out of place. It's a gruesome interlude that doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the film. Maybe that's why it's pissing off so many people. Never thought I'd see Ms. Mattarazzo in a scene of that nature, at any rate.
I thought the lessons that THE DEVIL'S REJECTS taught us was that people will only see R-rated movies if they suck. I guess not though.
