Boner, boner, boner. And your crass suggestion that I profit from these comments doesn't deserve comment, except to say that "Hurry ... supplies <i>are</i> limited." I meant hot in a spiritual way, Fox, in a way that transcends boners and all that is worldly.

Boner, boner, boner.

Really?? I mean... I'll give you cute... but hot? You must really get a boner when you watch <i>Badlands</i> then, huh? Am I allowed to say "boner"? “hot”??

Really?? I mean… I’ll give you cute… but hot?

You must really get a boner when you watch Badlands then, huh?

Am I allowed to say “boner”?

You make me want to buy more DVDs, and I can't, I'm supposed to be using that disposable income for cds! <i>Missing</i> is an interesting film in that I like the way Costa-Gavras handled his leftist-politics compared to the inept filmmakers we have today. I'm surprised it's a Criterion release however, b/c I think it's pretty hoakey... or as hoakey a film can get about idealogical killings. There is a scene were two American lefties are using kindergarten logic to argue in favor of communism which is pretty hilarious (it's blind idealism at its worst), and I find the whole come-to-Jesus revelations of Jack Lemmon's character to be pretty hilarious. It's like a leftist fantasy of turning a rightie into a leftie by escorting him through a exhibition of American imperialism gone wrong. But Sissy Spacek is really good! Dammit Rick.
