My best friend, a 110-pound girl, came back to my house tonight the one night we haven't hung out on the weekend in several months, with two swollen black eyes from a random guy backhanding her twice.

I feel helpless.

Well they were only away from the car for like, 1 minute, so it was probably just an assumption that things were they way they left them.

A couple years ago I read a pretty depressing report on kids being left in cars because the parents forgot them in there, and the conclusion was that if you can forget something like your backpack in your car, you can forget your kid.

Long movies, like long albums, long plays, long books, etc., are great when they earn that length and use it to the fullest. It is great for creating mood, controlling the pace, and allowing you to dig deeper into the dark corners of the work.

(Most) Blockbusters and comedies, though, should be going for the opposite effect: tight and fast with no waste and no excess. Wire's Pink Flag and Nas' Illmatic should be played in their entirety on alternating mornings every day of the shoot, and then mix in Surfer Rosa and Reign in Blood during post to add even more urgency.

And if they still haven't gotten the message, Minutemen EPs.

Some years later, Mrs. Ansonia Feathers made the arduous journey to Hodgeman County to visit the last resting place of her only daughter. William Munny had long since disappeared with the children... some said to San Francisco where it was rumored he prospered in dry goods. And there was nothing on the marker to explain to Mrs. Feathers why her only daughter had married a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition.

I think the most annoying thing to me is people complaining about the "necessity" of a movie, as if there's a certain threshold of something that suddenly this movie is necessary, as opposed to being unnecessary. How do you even define that?

The movie I've most seen this applied to in recent memory is, of all things, 12 Years a Slave, as if a serious, clear-eyed look at racial injustice was somehow more frivolous than, well, any other movie you saw last year.

I was making a joke because it was a thing that was kinda assumed before the first movie even happened simply because it's a Huge Moment In Comics.

My point is, among us non-comics readers, most of us didn't even know who the hell Gwen Stacy was in the first place. "Huge Moment in Comics" might as well be "Huge Moment in Theoretical Astrophysics."

Is Bullet in the Head worth the effort of finding a decent copy? It's the only major John Woo movie I haven't seen, largely because holy poo poo it is hard to find an uncut (or anywhere close to uncut) version of it.

It's a pretty solid movie, but I don't think it stacks up to the first two Better Tomorrow flicks, let alone Hard Boiled or The Killer. Still, most action movies are worse than those four.

Speaking of moving musical numbers, what is your opinion on the new Swans album? I've just been waiting for the right time to listen to it, hopefully this weekend sometime.

I haven't pinned it down yet - it's clearly strong, but I couldn't say much beyond. Granted, it took me like a full year for The Seer to go from "This is impressive" to "Holy poo poo I will never stop listening to this album," so I'll probably need at least another month with To Be Kind. It's less focused, groovier, more psychedelic than The Seer. "Just a Little Boy" is already a new favorite, though.
