Ian MacKaye talks about stuff

Fascinating Library of Congress talk from Ian MacKaye via Jenkem, including his insightful thoughts on skateboarding and how he got into punk. Well worth a watch.

Great list of movie commentaries on YouTube, courtesy of Cinephilia. The Conversation is always a favourite, plus plenty of Scorsese. Much as I love the idea of these things, the motivation to watch them is never there when you've just watched the actual film ... then I never get back to them.

This Is The End

Stupid post-modern, post-apocalyptic comedy from the frat pack, with the occasional funny moment.

The Wind Rises

Miyazaki's plane engineer swan song is more melodrama than magic, but still a bittersweet meditation.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Wes A's gang rack up the cameos, an elegant confection of crime romp, murder, good manners.

House Of Cards S2

Solid OTT politicking from a great Kevin Spacey, let down by some shaggy side stories.

Sound City

Sentimental doc from Dave Grohl, looking back to better times. Trent Reznor disagrees, but still shows up.

Promo Promo: Pink Mountaintops - Ambulance City

Power up your front-loaders and check the max-VHS resolution for the new Pink Mountaintops vid which seems to be co-starring 1970s Ron Wood; album Get Back is out Apr 29.

McBean overheard Jaffe drunkenly bragging in a backyard about her state of the art 80's VHS camera. Ambulance City will mark the first time they've worked together since 1431 while serving drinks at Joan of Arc's execution.

Inspired by Swedish Erotica, Cpl. Klinger, and totes non-poser aspirations.

Schwarzenegger Lite returns. Decent enough actioner that regresses into an A-Team episode for act 3.

RIP: Harold Ramis

Looks like Venkman and Ray might be Ghostbusting Spengler if there's ever another Ghostbusters movie - as co-writer and star Harold Ramis has passed away, aged 69. He also directed all-time classic Groundhog Day, National Lampoon's Vacation and Caddyshack ... plus less-than-classic Multiplicity.
