Clever metafiction, but nowhere near as strong as In Bruges.

I know the series has been discussed at length in this thread, so I apologize, but I have a Mass Effect question. Can I start with 2 and still have a good experience or do I need to play the first?

Loving Random Access Memories. Doin' it Right stands out in my opinion. Panda Bear is so great.

Cronenberg at his most Cronenbergesque.

Minority opinion here, but I don't think Wes Anderson is as clever as he seems to think he is.

A very uncomfortable 90 minutes. I thought this was interesting - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x46H38KhME.

I'm guessing that Poet Warrior and Harmony Korine would have some mild disagreements.

I think this has aged well. Spike's best.

Killer Joe
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1726669/
Funny and disturbing. Nice showing from Friedken (although I prefer Bug)

Evil Dead (2013)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1288558/?ref_=sr_1
Nice homage to the original, but not as fun (also severely lacking in the oscar Campbell department).

I feel like this is the thread for this.
Favorite things that Deb Patterson yells in disgust:
Mamma Mia!
Jeez Louise!
Gosh Darn It!

Deb was upset tonight.
"Watching you is worse than going to the dentist!"

Bartender at Aggie Station:
Extending my most sincere apology about not tipping Saturday. Little too pak'd, did not remember. Will reconcile. Hope we're still friends.

angel played 10 minutes
Looked like he got a little banged up when he dove for that loose ball late in the first half. Probably affected his minutes.

I feel like I should mention the fact that the loose ball was a result of Will's ball handling.

Bethune-Cookman 60, NC Central 59

Holloman's clinching basket came after N.C. Central's leading scorer Dominique Sutton (16 points) turned the ball over with 19 seconds left. That was Sutton's second giveaway during a span of the game's final 3:39 in which the Eagles didn't score after taking a 59-58 lead on a Ray Willis jumper.
