Nightmare Royale #15: A Strange Aeon to be Cthulhu (On Lovecraft, Hatecraft and "You Say Po-Tah-To" in Fantasyland)
Dear Unspeakable Old Ones (and other Fetid Contagions Beyond Imagining) –Read more »
Horror has always been the black sheep of genre fiction and film. Despite its long history of brilliant work, it's routinely dismissed on the basis of its dumbest tropes and worst excesses…all of which, it must be said, are cheap and plentiful e-z pickings for those who would write off our entire genre as crap.
Horror legend John Skipp has built a career out of smart, fun, shocking, provocative work that pushes the boundaries. And in NIGHTMARE ROYALE, he'll make a monthly case for how to make horror smarter, cooler, and better, without losing any of its wild joy or raw power.
Dear Unspeakable Old Ones (and other Fetid Contagions Beyond Imagining) –Read more »
I spent last Sunday afternoon at the Hyaena Art Gallery in Burbank – a favorite place, for any occasion – at the behest of my good friend Brian Bubonic, who had an artist he wanted me to meet. A young Ukrainian named Krawczyk Stanislav was in town, blessedly far from his war-ravaged home. His preferred medium is ball point pen on paper. Here's a small sampling of his work.Read more »
Well, I just got the prestigious "Luckiest Bastard In The World Award" a couple weeks back, at the World Horror Convention. And no, it wasn't on the Stoker ballot.Read more »
Well, it's time once again for the World Horror Convention, when hordes of creatives from the lit'ry end of our field convene for shop talk, networking, and (for many of us) a whooooole lotta gettin' loaded till the wee hours with buddies you maybe get to see once or twice a year, if you're lucky.Read more »
So this year's "Women In Horror Month" has come and gone, presumably to make room for the annual eleven-straight "Men In Horror Months!" to follow.Read more »
I've got a confession to make: I like it weird. So weird that I can barely believe it's happening. So weird my jaw drops thirty feet and hangs like a construction site accident, while my mind echoes Palmer from Carpenter's THE THING, saying, "You gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me."Read more »
Well, hell. Everybody's doin' it! So here to cap off Year One of Nightmare Royale — and what a lovely goddam year it's been — is my little contribution to the year-end pileup of heartily-recommended faves.Read more »

Dear gang —
First off: you gotta admit, it's been a great week for Damon Lindelof hating. Even people who like him — who swear by LOST or the end of WORLD WAR Z, or (gulp) PROMETHEUS — have to admit that Vince Gilligan and friends handed him his ass last Sunday night. As I'm sure he'd be the first to agree.Read more »

I've been banging away at this entry for weeks and weeks, trying to write something "serious" and "important". Which therefore involved a lot of "pissing" and "moaning". Always a terrible mistake. (Wanna listen to some old guy complain about the state of modern horror? ME, NEITHER!)Read more »

These funds are swift in process and provided to the customers within a single day or next working day. With the help of these cash plans, one can easily pay off his credit card dues, household utility bills, medical claims, house rent, tuition fees and many other necessary expenses.

She would not be seduced!
A pretty woman with no head for business? Christa Bellingham had worked hard to banish this image of herself. Did that mean that she now came across as too outspoken--particularly about men?
She had learned the hard way that men were not to be trusted. And Daniel Geshard's line of business attracted the worst of deceivers.
He said Christa's cynicism was a disguise and he could teach her to trust. Daniel seemed so genuine, but didn't he have a lot to gain if he could win her over?

Updated: May 5, 2013 1:52PM
We recently heard from Just Trying To Provide, who was married 13 years when his wife took their kids and left. She rented an apartment for them and the home daycare center she runs.
JTTP said the biggest problem in their marriage had been the way she handled their finances. She would lend money to relatives and not tell him, putting them in a financial bind.
He wants his family back. He's seen a counselor, but his wife refuses to go. He says the two people with any influence on her are her pastor and her mother.
I told him to try one more time to get his wife to go to counseling with him, for the sake of the kids if nothing else.
If she still refused, I suggested he talk to her pastor and her mother for some guidance as to what's really going on. I wrote, "Wives don't move out without a pretty good reason, like another man."
If none of that worked, I said he should insist that they talk. "There are lots of issues that have to be resolved, mainly about the children and finances, and she can't simply run away."
JTTP is back to say he's "at a loss because I took the steps you suggested and nothing worked."
JTTP says he had been consulting with a third pastor, not hers or his. "I went to see him several times about my wife and her spending. On the last visit with him, she came, too. We had a problem with her spending $6,000 and not having anything to show for it. When I asked, she said she gave the money to the church because she felt there were spirits in our home that were affecting the family.
"I mentioned this to her pastor, and he said he never received that amount from her, and he would ask her about it. But when she and I went to see him, the meeting only focused on the fight we had and not all the other issues, like the money.
"I also found out from my pastor that her pastor was the one who told her to move out and get a divorce if that was what she wanted.
"Her mother is another long story. Basically, the two people in her life, her pastor and her mother, are no help at all. I feel that as long as she's contributing to her church, her pastor will side with her.
By the way, my wife also met with my pastor one time, but she didn't like the answers he gave her, so she refused to meet with him again.
Dear JTTP: It's time to consult a lawyer.
It sounds like your wife is under the influence of some very shady characters who have made her think she needs an exorcism to get rid of evil spirits. She may be unbalanced.
You need to protect yourself and your children and the children in your wife's care.
And a reader pointed out that home-based daycare providers don't usually just move their business. There are licenses involved, inspections, registration, background checks, etc.
You need to get on top of this situation before it gets even worse than it is. Good luck and stay in touch.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Five people are dead after a small plane crashed amid heavy fog in northeast Oklahoma.
The Piper aircraft was on its way to Dallas on Saturday when it crashed into a park near a baseball field in Tulsa. Investigators said the six-passenger plane may have hit a guide wire from a communications tower that wasn't visible because of fog.
Authorities said two adult males, an adult female and two juvenile females were killed. Their names haven't been released. No one on the ground was injured.
Highway Patrol Lt. George Brown said the plane left Jones Riverside Airport in Tulsa at 10:37 a.m., headed for Dallas. It crashed about 30 minutes later.
Brown said Federal Aviation Administration investigators are headed to the scene.

What are your favorite spices
I was wondering, what are your favorite spices and how do you use them? i have an addiction to herbs and spices, and yet there are so many that i don't really know what to do with
Lately I've been finding uses for Penzeys Herbes de Provence with chicken. We used it a while ago when we made pot pies, and last week I added it to a gravy I made with left over chicken for biscuits and chicken gravy. It's also good on beer can chicken.
Come to think of it, I also used some jerk seasoning on beer can chicken.
I added some of Penzys Italian Season to sauce and salads.
Check them on the web and you'll get a catalog with your first order, no doubt. One good thing is that you can buy small quantities of things your not sure about or won't use much of.
I went crazy with rosemary for a few years, but I'm all better now. Garlic...garlic is treated around here almost more as a vegetable than as a seasoning. Thyme and oregano are staples; basil is too, but only in season and used fresh. I got a big jar of dried herbes de Provence from Surfas, and I use that as an addition to the oil-and-salt marinades that I whip up for meat, fowl and fish; it's good with lamb, pork, chicken and mahi-mahi, and we liked it with some ahi tuna as well. That's another one that can be overdone if you don't watch it, though. Cumin is kind of menacing, like someone with a brutal streak he keeps mostly hidden, so I use it with caution, but it's the soul of some Cuban dishes.
re: Will Owen
hey i love cumin-- tempered with cardamom & cinnamon in moroccan cooking, in regional mexican, west indian, east indian regional, and of course cuban. give cumin a chance!
lately i am adoring fresh jamaican allspice, & powdered chipoltle-- in anything stewed or slow-cooked.
let's not forget the subtle power of the good, ol fashioned bay leaf!
tarragon in cream sauce, simple, classic, good
lavender & lemon peel or lavender & cracked pepper
truffles buried in good sea salt
Flat leaf Italian parsley is the sine qua non.
I could make do with salt, pepper, parsley, olive oil and lemon...
I have a little thing going with star anise, and Chinese Five Spice powder (that contains star anise)
Five Spice into the coating of fried chicken, star anise into pork brines for a lovely undertone flavor...
I am learning to love cumin in moderation - burned out on it early due to bad cooks!
Meet cardamon by throwing a few pods in the cooking pot with white rice . . .
re: pitu
You might want to order the Kettle Chips party pack so you can try their potential new flavor: Five Spice potato chips.
Check out www.passporttoflavor.com
(Besides being tasty, it was a lot of fun to experiment! I preferred Royal Indian Curry but most at my work liked Five Spice better.)
re: swsidejim
...and veal stew and rice...
re: yayadave
yes, excellent suggestions. I just love how rosemary smells when being roasted/cooked.
re: swsidejim
i will have to start growing my own herbs i think, fresh ones are so hard to get here, espescially in winter
re: RiJaAr
yes, you must!
even when I can get them at the grocer, the quantity is wrong and they go to waste. also having them at home, always ready and fresh, encourages you to cook with them all the time.
thai basil is the best thing under my growlight
re: RiJaAr
This summer I grew lemon verbena for the first time, I think I used it more than the basil! Tastes like lemon and also has holistic qualities I hear. I brought it in for the winter, but it's deciduous and is loosing its leaves right now, but I pick them all up and put in a paper bag, can't wait til the spring for it to grow again. Also for the first time, chocolate mint, so good (especially in Mojitos!) I miss summer already. Wish I had a windowsill that got LOTS of sunlight.
Salt - in baking, esp. anything with chocolate.
Star anise - for any type of stews or braised dishes.
Cinnamon - on almost any dessert.
Nutmeg - see cinnamon (above).
Herbs de provence & Thyme especially on chicken and dumplings!
sea salts - french, and the napa style red hawaiian for seafood
smoked paprika - la chinata - chicken paprikash
Dry mogo - use it in fajitas,tacos and the mexican meat marinades
red pepper flakes - just about everywhere- italian dishes
mexican oregano- vegetables, pizza, italian, mexican red sauce
cumin- blackeyed peas, chili,, green chiie stew, chili colorado
star anise-korean ribs,chinese dishes
nutmeg- white sauces, alfredo,
For more flavorings, lemons, limes, lots of garlic, white onions, and capers
I made quatre epices a few months ago for a chicken liver mousse recipe. I find myself adding it to lots of stuff. I also use a boat load of Togarashi. OK those are the odd ones... but I am an italian blended herb fiend. Got a giant container at Costco and it won't be going to waste.
re: soupkitten
herbs and spices and seasonings of any kind.. what do you flavor your dishes with?
re: RiJaAr
A-HA! Thanks--
i posted above my love of cumin and dried powdered chipoltle, but as long as we are opening the thread to seasonings of any kind id like to mention organic citrus zest in sauces & rosewater in baking.
Not sure (see soupkitten's post) if this is technically an herb or a spice, but saffron would have to be one of my number one picks. It's very versatile, from shellfish bisque to paella to poultry hash, and very easy to store for whenever you need a pinch. Be sure to crush it and let it bloom in a bit of hot/warm liquid before adding it to your dish.
re: cayjohan
Yeah, Saffron... Whenever something is missing, it usually is saffron.
Nutmeg. Recently I've been blending together freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade yogurt, ice, a bit of sugar and nutmeg. Really tasty and refreshing.
I have been experimenting with Indian cuisine lately so I have lots of aromatic spices in the cupboard, due in part to a well-stocked bulk spice section of thenatural foods store close by. I have cardamom pods, fenygreeks seeds and a superbly fragrant garam masala. Every time I open my spice cabinet it almost overpowers me.
Newest favorite is Cumin. Make a wonderful pork rub of olive oil,fresh garlic, cumin & coriander.
I'm currently having a rather passionate affair with sumac. I've always liked it, but now that I'm pregnant (just over 2 months) I can't get enough of the stuff. The whole savory-sour-tangy-slightly funky thing is really doing it for me right now. And, it's so pretty! I love a little dark purple sprinkling on eggs.
How I'm using it. . .
On eggs (as mentioned)
Always on salads
roasted meats (made a delicious sumac rubbed flank steak with a pomegranite reduction from epicurious)
re: Hunicsz
Ever had za'atar bread? It's round, pillowy Arabic bread brushed with olive oil, with za'atar (sumac and sesame seeds) lavished on top. It's SO GOOD with eggs, and with lebne (thick, tangy yogurt-like cheese).
re: sillyrabbit
I often cut pita into wedges, brush with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with za'tar, and bake until crisp. Result: a healthier, tastier pita chips for hummus and dips.
Doesn't za'tar have thyme too? Or is that just some mixtures?
re: maestra
Yes, it usually has thyme but some mixtures use savory. Good stuff!
Dill, fresh cilantro, basil (fresh or dried), fresh ground nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, paprika, rosemary...heck I love 'em all :)
I was busy thinking cumin, ground/whole/toasted or not, then it occurred to me reading the responses above, it's got to be pepper. Plain black pepper. (Or if someone were to take that away Szechwan - or however it is spelt!) It is something that cannot truly be replaced or omitted (in my eyes) and something that until reading this I had completely taken for granted.
re: ali patts
Sichuan Pepper with Dried Chinese Red Chilis - Ma La Heaven!!!
I simply could not live without BASIL for pesto, sauces, salads, etc. Grow atleast 6 types every season. Spices....a homeade curry mix I make myself. Consists of 10 different spices. (Most of which I get from Penzey's.) I use the curry for curries, potatoes, other veggies, couscous, rices, etc. There are unlimited uses for it.
I vote for fresh basil in the summer, with all things tomato, and allspice in the fall and winter, with lamb dishes.
fresh basil--pesto-mozzarella cheese and tomato salad;
I like the tri-color peppercorns-pink-white and green-I find them tasty and use them in most of my cooking where pepper would be included
there are alot of spices i like but my staples are, not in any particular order:
Basil - on almost anything
oregano - just adds a soothing hint
white pepper - as an addition
tarragon - to add different flavor
Curry - if used properly
salt and pepper - of course
and a bunch of other types ...
do butter and garlic count... :-) cause they go in almost everything...
Smoked paprika is what makes our "homemade hamburger helper."
I go weak in the knees for rosemary - it works so well with heavy foods like lamb but also light tastes like lemon.
For a long time I only believed parsley was added to foods for looks. I've gotten over that and add tons of it to lighten pasta sides - enough so that you can taste the bordering-on-spicy-greenness.
I add oregano to any dish whose flavor seems too monotonous - if I've over-lemoned pasta, and it's such a great element in chili.
Also, the latest Cooking Light has convinced me that pears and cardamom are natural companions. The cardamom-pear upside-down cake was A-MA-ZING.

V-8 Family Feud
With the new Camaro still in the embryonic stage, the Ford and Chevy faithful cross swords with the Mustang and Corvette.
By December 12, 2006 / Photos by Marc Urbano
Every hero must have his villain, and for and fans, it's the other guy. It's been that way since Ford's flathead ruled the earth, is a simmering conflict today and promises another explosive era pending the arrival of Chevy's rejuvenated , perhaps two years hence.
A V-8 intramural, this uniquely domestic feud began with the flathead Ford, an engine that unreservedly dominated its era. Fords were for go and Chevys were "stovebolts." Nothing could touch a Ford, certainly not the limp-cranked straight-8s in doctor's cars, the agricultural sixes and barely post-Victorian 4-bangers chugging along from the Depression until a decade into the jet age. Imagine, then, the wrenching reality of Chevrolet's small-block V-8 introduction in 1955. Suddenly, overhead valves were for the masses and Ford's time-tested flattie was looking mighty quaint. It was a shock the Ford faithful had a tough time accepting. They had established the performance and numerical dominance in American performance cars, and now they were getting their doors blown off by staid old Chevrolet.
Far more than a better mousetrap, the small-bock Chevrolet's greatness did nothing less than redefine performance. Lightweight, free-revving and flooding out of Detroit in everything from commuter cars to commercial trucks, the first perky, then roaring orange V-8 instantly consigned Ford's performance dominance to a fading second place. Ford fans' resentment grew as they begrudgingly became the other brand.
It took Ford a surprisingly long time, until 1962, to introduce their own timeless small block, a timetable no doubt influenced by the parallel need to develop the signature engines of the classic muscle-car era, the big blocks. Furthermore, Ford's menagerie of overlapping engine families there were three branches of two small-block families and two big-block families contrasted to Chevy's focused approach of improving their one-each small- and big-block lines.
Naturally, all of these engines came in chassis of ever-increasing importance. Pre-war Fords were certainly empowered by overwhelming economies of scale, and just as certainly, mid-'50s and '60s Chevrolets showed how modern design could help level the competition. But the tire smoke didn't blossom into an anvil-headed thundercloud until the introduction of the populist Mustang, the follow-on Camaro and all the other Torinos, Chevelles, Falcons, Novas, Cobras, Corvairs, GT40s, Shelbys and that the wild performance era from 1965 to 1972 had to offer. Here the battle was joined on a titanic scale, from the factory boardroom to the world's greatest racetracks and, most tellingly, on back streets late into the night.
When the lights went out in 1973 thanks to strangling insurance plus an oil embargo, it is most accurate to say Chevy had won the muscle-car round of the rivalry. Chevy hardware was more widely available and less expensive to run as the early cars were recycled through the dark ages of the late '70s and early '80s. Ford fans found themselves increasingly marginalized, their cars and engines falling to near curio status as Chevrolet dominated the remaining racing and performance scene with their available and affordable small block.

two nights in baltimore
- nate the great Sep 26, 2007 08:52 AM
hello board...i will be in baltimore for two nights and would love to have my mind and taste buds blown with some amazing dinner....any suggestions?
Where are you staying? I would definitely give Peter's Inn a shot, 504 S. Ann, Fell's Point just south of Eastern Ave. Small eclectic but always something great, decent wines, nice vibe. If you're solo you can eat at the bar. They don't take reservations so if it's a weekend or Weds eve best to arrive early (6-ish) or late, 8:30-ish. I think it's one of the most unique places in bmore, check their website (www.petersinn.com) for menu as they change weekly.
Cinghiale is a recently opened Italian restaurant with a 400 label wine list, so that might be a good place to start.
Jack's Bistro serves creative and tastebud-blowing food in a fun setting.
re: mobtown hound
I ate @ Jack's on Sunday night and their short ribs were delish! The peppercorn and lavender icecream was also a mind blower, def recommend both dishes.
Charleston is the best restaurant in the city. Just google it and you'll find reviews, menu,etc
As for Italian, forget Little Italy even though it will upset some others on here. Sotto Sopra on Charles St. is good. Someone else here mentioned Cinghiale. It just opened and they probably haven't worked the kinks out yet but unless I'm mistaken, the owners of Charleston, Cindy Wolf and her husband Tony also own this place so, it has a good pedigree.
I would like to second the recommendation for Sotto Sopra on Charles Street in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood. I went there on Sunday night. The pasta dishes are very nicely done. Everything seems to be homemade fresh pasta. The fried calamari came with a very nice wasabi flavored white dipping sauce. I had Angolotti stuffed with veal. It was very good. My companions had gnocchi, and another linguini with shrimp. Nice wine by the glass list, and prices and portions were not bad for a downtown location.

Death Wish 3
The first three Death Wish films can easily be categorized as the good, the bad, and the ugly. The first one was a good, quality piece of exploitation pulp. The second is bad because it was dull and boring. The third is the ugly and isn't ugly usually more interesting? In this case, it is. Death Wish 3 could be called bad because it's so ridiculous and over the top but that's also what makes it so good—it's ridiculous and over the top. And any resemblance to the realism of the first film has been totally thrown out the window and now plays like a cartoon spoof of the vigilante genre. And forget the later Death Wish flicks to come; still starring Grandpa Charles Bronson, Death Wish 4: the Crackdown and Death Wish 5: the Face of Death, they are utterly forgettable and worse, unwatchable. But the middle child, Death Wish 3, is something special in a lovably ugly dog way.
In the first flick, Death Wish back in '74, Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) was a respectable NY architect, but when his wife was murdered by some savage street brutes he became a stone cold vigilante, knocking them off. While less credibly in Death Wish II, Bronson was in LA and got all killy again to avenge the memory of his maid. By the time 3 begins he seems to be a guy who just casually kills goons at will. Hoping to take a relaxing vacation in the projects of Brooklyn by visiting his old war buddy, he arrives to find his friend dying, having just been beaten to a pulp by the local street creeps. The cops arrest him for the murder; after giving him a working over, Chief Shriker (the great B-movie actor, Ed Lauter of The Longest Yard) cuts a deal with him, letting him go if he will go knock off some of the 'hood rats (a multi-racial gang of central casting punkers, biker types, and "Beat It" dancers).
First Blood
At one point Sylvester Stallone was considered a real actor, bursting into superstardom with the original Rocky flick, becoming a household name and even winning an Oscar for his original screenplay. He would continue to stay popular with its first two sequels, as well as some interesting (though less popular) movies like the quasi Hoffa bio F.I.S.T and the underrated terrorism thriller Nighthawks. He would hit box office gold again in 1982 with an intelligent action flick, First Blood, and though he would go on to become a global brand, First Blood would be more or less the last time he would push himself as an actor (though about once a decade he has managed to pop up in thoughtful, quality non 'roid roles like Cop Land in '97 and Rocky Balboa in '06). Though some of his roles from the '80s have become almost camp classics of bad (Cobra, Tango & Cash), First Blood was about the last time he was able to combine both muscle and a quality script to perfectly suit his oversized ego and release a flick that still holds up today.
Ted Kotcheff was a television director in the '60s, but by the next decade he hit the big screen with a string of fairly popular flicks (The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, Fun with Dick and Jane and North Dallas Forty). In '82 he made the little seen but admirable cult deprograming drama Split Image as well as First Blood. It would be his peak both commercially and critically before slowly moving back to TV assignments. Still it's an interesting filmography and important to explain why First Blood works so well. Kotcheff was a character driven director, not an action hack.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Clint Eastwood hit the big time with his trio of Sergio Leone-directed genre-bending spaghetti westerns and then propelled to superstardom with the vigilante-cop Dirty Harry flicks. But even while playing the mega-star in commercial fare he still managed to make a number of unusual flicks you wouldn't expect from an actor riding such a glorious wave. Films like the gothic, civil war, teen lust thriller The Beguiled or playing a sociopathic rapist gunmen in the western High Plains Drifter (both great flicks) matched by what could only be called a homoerotic, action, road, buddy-dramady called Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, it's like Midnight Cowboy but with fast cars and guns. The other thing that makes the movie so unique in Eastwood's filmography; it was the only time in the era that he was paired with a co-star with so much measurable talent. In his best performance after his debate in The Last Picture Show, Jeff Bridges gives a fascinating performance and shows why he would also eventually reach iconic status (he also got well-deserved Oscar nominations for both films). Thunderbolt and Lightfoot provides Eastwood fans with the expected muscle, but also an odd dose of heart.
After the syrupy theme song by Paul Williams called "Where Do I Go From Here?" Eastwood first appears on screen as a minister giving a sermon in a church. When an assassin tries to shoot him, clearing the church, he takes off on foot and is saved when an ecc...
Extreme Prejudice
After his great little run of action films from 1975 - 1982 that included The Driver, The Warriors, Southern Comfort and 48 Hrs, gritty director Walter Hill wandered in the wrong direction with the action musical Streets of Fire and the unfunny Richard Pryor comedy Brewster's Millions. Even though he would go on to have a big hit with the Schwarzenegger muscle bore Red Heat, most of his flicks had potential but oddly fell short (Johnny Handsome, Wild Bill). He did do an underrated urban thriller, Trespass, but otherwise nothing reached that earlier high.
Hill started out as a writer and one of his first credited screenplays was for Sam Peckinpah's mean spirited thriller, The Getaway. So Hill's 1987 Tex-Mex action flick Extreme Prejudice, though completely ignored by audiences in its day, now plays as a perfect homage to his one-time boss, Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs), the master of masculine violence who had burned out and died a few years earlier. With about as good a cast of tough guy character actors you could find in 1987 (including Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Michael Ironside, Rip Torn, Clancy Brown and William Forsythe), time has been kind to Extreme Prejudice. Though it's set in modern day, it's now starting to look like one of the better "Westerns" made in 1980s.Continue Reading
Runaway Train
On a first peek the Golan/Globus produced Runaway Train looks like it could be a standard prison-break action flick, but further along the viewer realizes it's much more.Though it has slam-bang action and some spectacular stunt work, it's actually some kind of thought-provoking, oddly foreign feeling (meaning perhaps, intellectual) character study. Israeli cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus' company Cannon Films made its name in the '80s with loud action movies like the Missing in Action flicks, the Sly Stallone steroidy Cobra, Breakin' (and its sequel Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo) and the unwarranted sequels to Death Wish (including the so-bad-it's-good Death Wish 3). On paper Runaway Train should have been just more adrenaline-sploitation, but the back story alone led it in a direction that made it totally unique. It's based on a screenplay by Japanese filmmaking legend Akira Kurosawa (and his long time collaborators Hideo Oguni and Ryuzo Kikushima), who had been hoping to make it back in the late '60s. Instead veteran Russian director Andrey Konchalovskiy took it over, while Kurosawa got a "based on a screenplay by" credit and the final script credits went to the odd threesome of Djordje Milicevic (a Serb), Paul Zindel (famous for writing the play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds) and the very interesting Edward Bunker, who turned his own criminal life into a successful writing and acting career. (Books he wrote were adapted into the underrated movies Straight Time and Animal Factory, and as an actor he appeared in many films including Runaway Train. Most famously he played Mr. Blue in Reservoir Dogs. What a long strange trip it's been, indeed.)
In a nasty, damp Alaskan prison, superstar criminal bank robber (Jon Voight) has won his state appeal. Warden Ranken (John P. Ryan) is forced to remove him from solitary confinement, where his cell was welded shut. He's a legendary badass and the prisoners are excited to have him back in the population, especially his brother, Jonah (Bunker) and a young boxer, Buck McGeehy (Eric Roberts) who's in on a statutory rape conviction and who takes hero worship to a new level. Manny wants to escape with his bro but when Ranken sends a killer after Manny, Jonah ends up getting messed up bad. So by default Manny hooks up with the annoying Buck instead. The two escape through a drain pipe and then make an impossible trek through a freezing Alaskan wasteland and eventually hop a freight train...home free. Somehow the train conductor dies and the train becomes a runaway, barreling through another train and making a deadly derailment the only possible option for the befuddled group of train dispatchers (C.K Carter, Kenneth McMillan and Kyle T. Heffner, the nerd from Flashdance). It turns out the train does have another passenger, a railroad worker named Sara (Rebecca De Mornay, a few years after her breakthrough in Risky Business, still looking for the role that should have taken her to the next level--something that unfortunately never quite happened for this talented actress).Continue Reading
Daisies (Sedmikrásky)
Daisies begins and ends with stock footage of war and industry. Between these two bookends two charmingly bratty young women (both named Marie) decide that because the world is bad that they will be too. They spend a lot of their time engaged in elaborate pranks often involving getting free meals from old men and creative slapstick destruction involving fire, scissors and lots of food.
The cinematography of Jaroslav Kucera is amazingly beautiful and innovative. His jarring use of colors, beautiful compositions and dreamy visual effects contribute to a carnivalesque mood that is both heavily psychedelic very New Wave. The distorted, strange sounds, the amazing sets and the wonderful costumes all reinforce Chytilová's wonderful vision.Continue Reading
The Films of Michael Haneke (Boxset)
Michael Haneke is one of the most innovative and exciting filmmakers currently working. His films can be extremely shocking and, at times, graphically violent. But unlike most thriller directors, Haneke chooses to downplay his violence. Haneke prefers a cold austerity to the melodramatic hysterics that characterize modern thrillers. His characters are cold and unfeeling, resulting in an atmosphere of psychological turmoil, emotional paralysis, and impending doom. His paradoxical approach to violence instills an unnerving tension within any well-balanced viewer, and this tension quickly turns into utter terror. Haneke thwarts his viewers of their moment of cathartic release: that tantalizing moment in which viewer and filmmaker can share a moralizing sigh of relief and say, "Ah, wasn't that horrible?" No one is bailed out of a Haneke film; instead, the viewer must deal with and eventually accept the bleak situation that confronts him.
Haneke's unapologetic approach to cinema expects more from its audience than your normal pure entertainment thriller or horror film. When watching Haneke's films, despite the discomfort we feel, we must never alienate ourselves from the violent acts depicted on screen (and in the specific case of Funny Games, we are even encouraged to play along). His films always provoke social thought and personal introspection. Ultimately, Haneke wants his viewers to ask more questions, and to view this tiny world and all its complexities with a more critical eye. Oh, and yes, they are quite riveting to watch as well…Continue Reading
The Conformist (Il Conformista)
I've never read the novel "The Conformist" by Alberto Moravia, but I can bet that Bernardo Bertolucci's film Il Conformista is a faithful adaptation of the story. The film explores a truly profound relationship between the individual and societal ideals, dealing with Fascist Italy in both an intellectual and artistic sense.
I'd have to say, the best way to watch this film is with your own company or maybe another if you are ready to embark on a heavy, heavy journey. The film is a mind trip - allowing the viewer to question the individual's values, society, civil responsibility, and dependence.Yet it doesn't stop itself there - the photography by Vittorio Storaro is breathtaking and true to its story. The style is so noteworthy that the film is praised in Visions of Light, a documentary honoring cinematographers as artists, and for good reason. Each moment is dedicated to the sorrow of an Italian under governmental pressures.The rich colors, camera angles, and camera movement accentuate Italian expressionism in every sense.Continue Reading
Tout Va Bien
French founders of the politically active filmmaking Dziga Vertov Group, Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Pierre Gorin, made Tout Va Bien in1972, their 2nd to last collaboration together.
This film certainly falls far from the category of escapism. You, the viewer, are going to have to examine not only the constructs of filmmaking itself, but also the economy of contemporary society and the political ideologies behind it. Sound like a handful? You can be assured that every movement within the frame, every insert, every cut, is deliberate and Brechtian in every formal quality. The staging shows people moving from one room to another through a cross-section of the building, emphasizing the strike at a sausage factory that is observed by an American reporter (Jane Fonda) and her husband, a has-been, French New Wave film director (Yves Montand).Continue Reading
Cleo From 5 to 7
What defines the feminine experience? What does it mean to live, breathe, and die as a woman? Agnes Varda questions mortality through the eyes of a beautiful young woman on the edge of success in 1960's Paris. Cleo has been to the doctor and is waiting for the diagnosis, though she's convinced it's cancer. We follow her in real time for two hours and stand as witness to the fullness and frivolousness of a life coming to terms with itself.
Death and despair compel the coquettish Cleo into existential searching meeting with friends, lovers and strangers and we see her precise steps into and out of an other's preconceived perception. Coy lover, whimpering child, precocious beauty, passionate collaborator, old friend and lovely stranger: Cleo is all of these but then so much more as you realize she is fast forwarding the journey to find herself the anchor that she desperately needs to face her death and to fight for life.Continue Reading

If you need to do some grocery shopping this weekend, we have some common cents tips to keep you under budget!
Go grocery shopping while you're in a hurry, always with a list and make sure you aren't hungry...you may have heard of that one before!
Because when you're hungry, you're more likely to buy pre-packaged meals at the store that would be cheaper if you cooked yourself.
If you leave yourself no time for temptation, you are less likely to the buy the things you don't need.
So go to the store when you only have an alloted amount of time, before another committment.
Plus, multiple experts say always have a list...it will help you avoid buying items you don't need and forgetting the items you really do need which usually means you'll have to go back to the store and be tempted again.
Does the color of the eggs you buy matter?
In Monday's common cents, the hidden grocery store savings that will have you saying, who knew?

Big Sky, MT and Yellowstone eats
My family and I will be in Big Sky, MT and Yellowstone National Park the first week of August. We may also travel to the Grand Tetons and Cody, WY. Any food recommendations?
Thanks for your help!
Just some random thoughts:
If you're in Cody, go to the Hotel Irma -- especially for breakfast. The green-chile skillet and the biscuits and gravy are top-notch, and the space is wonderful.
Avoid La Comida in Cody, even though it's recommended by the Roadfood folks. Very ordinary Mexican food.
I was pleased and amused at the availability of beer, and often local microbrews on tap, in the lodges at Yellowstone (and Glacier National Park). The food isn't memorable, but it's competent.
In the Tetons, get yourself to the old lunch counter at Jackson Lake Lodge. I have no idea how the food is, but the space is a treasure.
We just got back this past sunday
Trio in Jackson The best meal we had on our trip, hands down
The Bunnery was just ok, satisfactory for breakfast
I wanted to try Jedidiah house of sourdough also in Jackson but ran out of time
There is great food in Jackson and we didn't have a chance to eat in Grand Teton park but Yellowstone park proper had food so bad we basically lost our appetites. We ate at Grant Lake, Old Faithful Inn, Canyon Dining room, Mammoth Dining Room The best meal in a land of mediocrity was to be found at Old Faithful Inn dining room. Everything was a meat or starch. The main advantage is staying in the park because it takes forever to drive anywhere about 45 mins for 14 miles. Bring snacks. The food was so bad that when we drove through Pocatello, ID on our way back to Las Vegas, we ate at the Sizzler because there was billboards stating that it was the best steak in Pocatello and ...it was the best meal we had since we left Jackson. But you are not there for the food. Lots of chances to try bison, elk, wild boar, and other game. Absolutely a beautiful place I would go back in a heartbeat, but this time I would bring some food.
re: septocaine_queen
My post, in response to a question, re: The Old Faithful Inn http://www.chowhound.com/topics/53288...
In a single word, meh!
re: Sherri
I totally know what you mean. I had the wild boar with cider glaze. it came overcooked with a HUGE side of mashed potatoes and green beans. The cider glaze tasted like bad chinese sweet and sour sauce but it was the most edible meal we had in Yellowstone. That is not saying much. I did really enjoy the tomato and smoked gouda soup as an appetizer. I could have had that with a salad and bread and would have been more happy.
re: septocaine_queen
Based on one 2006 experience at the House of Sourdough, you didn't miss anything. Maybe it was an aberration, but it's not easy to mess up breakfast as thoroughly as that place did.
If you're going to be in Big Sky, I assume you are talking about the W. Yellowstone area not Jackson. There are a lot of places to eat at Big Sky now, I believe. I've enjoyed game for dinner at Buck's T-4 Restaurant at Big Sky. For more casual dining, I really like Eino's, which is just north of W. Yellowstone along the Gallatin Hwy. on the way to Big Sky.
Big Sky location.
Too bad you're not close to Ennis. Great meat market with smoked link sausage and buffalo jerky. Now THAT is pretty country.
re: toodie jane
This is beef, game and fresh trout country. Everytime I have had a wonderful piece of beef in that part of the country (Jackson, W. Yellowstone, etc.) and inquired as to the source, the answer is Ennis, MT. I've caught a lot of beautiful trout there too.
re: BN1
had no idea about the beef...never saw any cattle there; it seemed to be all about hunting in the backcountry or fishing the Madison. We spent a week there in a cabin and are pining to go back. The hatchery there is something to see. They raise the mother trout who supply the eggs for all the hatcheries in the west. They are huge.
We're heading to Big Sky next week - any further recent insights into Big Sky and West Yellowstone dining options?
Well, since my pre-trip request was met with a resounding chorus of crickets, now that I'm back from our family vacation, let me instead share my own thoughts on several dinners and a few other scattered notes from Big Sky, Montana and surrounds, after having spent a weekend in Big Sky Resort and another week at 320 Guest Ranch a bit further south.
FRI - Carabiner (Big Sky Mountain Village) - I was perhaps unduly excited by this place, having read a glowing puff-piece in our in-condo magazine about the chef at Peaks, who moved into the smaller confines of this space in the summer. From the writeup I was led to expect French and Asian influences using local ingredients, instead got a pretty generic ski-resort-type menu. What was most disappointing was an almost complete lack of attention to local ingredients, for instance using farm-raised long-distance tilapia instead of local trout. A foie gras app was very reasonably priced at $12 but delivered only a couple very thinly sliced, then (unsurprisingly) overcooked slivers of foie, served with toasts that managed to be both greasy and almost inedibly over-crisp at the same time. A spice-poached pear alongside was much better than any of the other components. A grilled rib-eye for a main was good but nothing special. Good wine list (this proved to be a recurring theme throughout our trip, whoever is doing the distribution in this area is doing a great job), we had a nice Vacqueyras (Sang de Cailloux) for about $45.
SAT - By Word of Mouth (Big Sky Meadow Village) – a cute homey place with some interesting flights of fancy on the menu. Started w/ a special app of squash blossoms stuffed w/ a mix of goat & blue cheese. The blue was maybe a little overpowering, but the blossoms (3 to the serving, and each a different type of baby squash still attached to the blossom - a zucchini, a yellow summer squash, and a pattypan) were perfectly fried in a light tempura batter and drizzled with a little balsamic reduction. Really nice dish. Lamb t-bones with a mint chimichurri and israeli couscous were also nice though the lamb was a little overcooked. The pricing seemed out of whack for a place with no real location to speak of and not particularly fancy - mains mostly in the $30s and up. This was brought into particular focus when we ordered a $24 bistro steak (a flatiron, I believe) for 10-yr old Frod Jr., but when the bill came saw that he had instead been given a $44 (!!!) special NY strip steak. Since I couldn't be sure this wasn't a communication error on our part, I couldn't complain, but still … Liked everything about the wine list but the prices as well, which again seemed high. Had a ½ bottle of a Rosenblum SF Bay Zin while Mrs. F sampled a local microbrew.
SUN - Bucks T4 (Hwy 191 S of Big Sky) - high end food in a down-to-earth place, done well. Mrs. F started with a smoked salmon panzanella salad that she just loved - salmon was smoked in house, served in big slabs (though a return visit produced a less generous portion, see below) over a bed of nicely dressed greens with torn cubes of toasted bread. Good stuff. I started with a special of a cold avocado-lime soup that was cool and refreshing, somewhere between guacamole and gazpacho. For a main, had a nice bacon-wrapped pheasant w/ a sage stuffing accompanied by mushroom fideus (a Spanish dish involving angel-hair pasta cooked almost in the manner of a paella), just a little bit salty but all really nicely flavored stuff. Mrs. F ordered a bison short rib app for a main which worked out just fine – a big slab of nicely braised and sauced short rib, tender and full of flavor, served over a bed of spaetzel to boot. I can't imagine having this as an app and then having an entrée after. Another really good wine list – we went with a L'Ecole 41 Washington State Cab for about $45.
MON - 320 Guest Ranch (Bull Horn Creek Rd) - Every Monday 320 Ranch does a pig roast, for $10 you get pulled pork (which you can pile up on a bun and then slather w/ your choice of either a sweet red bbq sauce or a mustard-vinegar-y neon yellow one), baked beans, potato salad, etc., and a beer or other beverage. Plus another beer, if you should desire, for another $1. The pork was nice and tender, and I thought the baked beans and potato salad (loaded with bacon and hard boiled eggs) were great. Pile up a plate, grab a cup, settle in at a picnic table, and enjoy.
TUE – Hungry Moose Market (Big Sky Meadow Village) – having access to a kitchen and a grill in our cabin at 320, we decided to cook in, and the Hungry Moose Market supplied us with what may have been my favorite meal of the trip. We got a couple steaks (courtesy of Big Sky Country Farms – which, lo and behold, I now see is actually in Idaho, about 200 miles S of Big Sky Montana – go figure), some really nice local-grown, organic produce (carrots, greens, garlic, onions, rosemary), fresh morels (!), some canned green chilis, threw the steaks on the grill with some rosemary sprigs in the coals, cooked up the veg, whipped up some green chili butter for the steaks, and had a really pleasant meal, everything just great quality. This tiny little market, in addition to having a great selection of local-grown produce, also had one of the best wine selections I have seen in any grocery store anywhere. An '05 Turley Ueberroth Zin ($55!) went down very nicely with the steaks.
WED – 320 Guest Ranch – on Wednesdays the ranch does a cook-out on premises for guests which you can reach by hay-ride or horse-back ride. Fun time, with steaks, bbq chicken, corn on the cob, more of those great beans and potato salad, a tub of iced Moose Drool Brown Ale, and s'mores around the fire for dessert.
THU – Sydney's Mountain Bistro (West Yellowstone)- I haven't seen anyone mention this place, and I'm sort of surprised. Cute little spot right on the main drag in W. Yellowstone, with surprisingly good and serious food in the middle of what seems an otherwise pretty touristy strip. All entrees come with a soup or salad, my artichoke soup was nothing special but Mrs. F liked a small Caesar salad very much. My main of a pork chop stuffed w/ bacon and fontina cheese was outstanding. Chop was thick, juicy and perfectly cooked, stuffing added great flavor, then sauced with a nice peppercorn pan sauce. Really, really well done dish. The other standout was Little Miss F's pumpkin ravioli, w/ brown butter and fried sage leaves. Ravioli were advertised as house-made, which is likely about half-true. The filling was definitely home-made, but I suspect the dough was actually pre-made wonton wrapper rather than home-made pasta dough. In any event, they still tasted great and I couldn't stop picking at this dish. Another pretty good wine list, though we instead went with a selection of Montana micro-brews.
Sydney's Mountain Bistro, 38 Canyon Street, West Yellowstone, MT 59758, 406-646-7660
FRI – Half Moon Saloon (Hwy 191 S of Big Sky) –a honky-tonk kind of place with a scenic location backing onto the Gallatin River with a volleyball court and horseshoes outside. A nicely done prime rib special (10 oz or 20 oz) came as a 3-course meal with a salad (garden variety greens-from-a-box, cherry tomatoes, croutons-from-a-box), a baked potato and veg (nice grilled asparagus) along with the prime rib, and a dessert (strawberry-rhubarb cobbler, good flavor but a bit gummy in texture). Kids' rib special was a good deal, baby-back ribs were spicy and smoky but could have been a little more tender (and would have been nice if the silverskin on the back of the rib were trimmed off).
Half Moon Saloon, 45130 Gallatin Rd, Gallatin Gateway, MT 59730, (406) 995-2928
SAT – Bucks T4 (again) – a return visit on a trip is unusual for us, but this was pretty darn good. Mrs. F started with the smoked salmon salad again, but this time instead of a few big planks of the house-smoked fish, instead got several small cubes (and overall significantly less). Still tasted just as good. I started with a duck confit ravioli app sauced w/ a foie gras butter, which was every bit as heavy and decadent as it sounds. We then split a "Wild Game Composition" for a main, which at $40+ would make an expensive entrée for one but split between the two of us worked out great. The "composition" consisted of a grilled elk chop (tasty stuff, the kids really liked it), braised wild boar short ribs (at least that's what they were called on the menu, though they looked more like a rack to me), tender and falling off the bone, and a whole grilled quail, also really good, with a nice, slightly sweet reduced sauce on the bottom of the plate. Came with a heaping pile of scalloped potatoes and green beans too. This time we had a nice Domaine Drouhin 2005 Pinot for about $75.
A few other miscellaneous notes from here and there –
Gourmet Gas Station (Gallatin Gateway) – this was a lunch stop for us which was notable primarily for some really, really good fish tacos – nicely fried cod, fresh crunchy shredded cabbage, mildly spicy creamy sauce (boosted further w/ some tableside hot sauce), wrapped in soft tortillas. This worked for me. Nice outdoor seating in back with a fenced-in field where the kids could play horseshoes, opening up onto a huge expanse of green valley.
Huckleberry Cafe (Meadow Village) was a cute, funky place with a nouveau hippy vibe and a nice menu of breakfast-stuffs (including several pseudo-Mexican egg dishes), but we waited an insane amount of time to get our food when we went for a late breakfast one day. Out waitress clearly recognized the problem and did her best, but it took the kitchen literally more than an hour just to get some eggs and pancakes out to our table.
Blue Moon Bakery (Meadow Village) was a solid little bakery, cranking out some nice pastries and some surprisingly tasty bagels. They were far from being real-deal bagels, but they had a good chew and flavor to them. Some decent sandwiches and pizzas for lunch too.
Rainbow Ranch, a place I was hoping to try, was closed down as a result of a fire and I believe is expected to be rebuilding through the winter. We also missed Timbers at Moonlight Lodge because they use the space for weddings on Saturdays through the summer (glad we called ahead).
A few themes that I noticed and appreciated while we were out there that have been hinted at above: (1) many places show a solid focus on local product – primarily beef (some of it grass-fed, and all of which was very robust and flavorful) and game (mostly bison & elk), occasional sightings of trout or walleye, and produce too including the great selection of local-grown organic produce that was available at the Hungry Moose Market; (2) wine selections generally, both in several restaurants and in retail shops (primarily Hungry Moose again, but other places we peeked into as well) were surprisingly good and for the most part pretty reasonably priced, for a place that I had anticipated would be too far from the regular distribution chain to have such good choices; (3) some excellent microbrews coming from Montana and surrounds, unfortunately I didn't keep good notes and the only name I can recall is the Moose Drool Brown Ale but several others were very good. For those traveling with children, pretty much everywhere we went had kids' menus (though our kids at 10 & 8 now scorn them as often as not).
Hope this is a help to future visitors.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Police in Pasadena plan to beef up security measures for the 125th Rose Parade in the wake of bombings at the Boston Marathon.
The Pasadena Star-News reports (http://bit.ly/1hcUTHa) police will use bomb-sniffing dogs and a wide range of video surveillance to detect any suspicious behavior during the New Year's Day parade, which is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of revelers.
Police Chief Phillip Sanchez also estimates there will be more than 1,100 officers that will patrol the parade route. Several protests are planned.
Many parade-goers will camp out overnight to secure prime viewing spots. The theme of the parade is "Dreams Come True." Temperatures are expected to reach to the mid-70s on Wednesday.

Alex Jackson, owner of the four Pit Bulls who fatally mauled a Littlerock, Calif., woman earlier this month, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Breed bans are currently against the law in California, but Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich wants the state to start enforcing them.
Attempts to enforce breed-specific legislation have been rejected this month in Florida, Maryland, Connecticut and New Mexico.
A product called "Pitbull Defense Maximum Strength Pepper Spray" has been sold by some Walgreens stores, and thousands of animal lovers aren't happy about it.
Thank you very much for reading our stories and being part of the i Love Dogs community this year. We're looking forward to sharing more stories and a very "yappy" 2013 with you! Based on our most popular stories, 2012 seemed to be the "Year of the Pit Bull." We couldn't be happier to bring […]
The Sikeston, Mo., humane society and city officials have conflicting news about whether the small town's roundup of Pit Bulls will continue.
On Wednesday, animal control officers in Sikeston, Mo., began a door-to-door "audit" of pet Pit Bulls, and any dogs that happened to look like Pit Bulls.
Jon and Kate Gosselin are feuding over whether or not their children should be around Pit Bulls.
On Aug. 14 Miami-Dade County voted not to repeal its Pit Bull ban, and the Maryland General Assembly deadlocked on removing language from a bill that calls all Pit Bulls "inherently dangerous."
In a victory for BSL opponents, the Maryland Senate has passed a bill making dog owners of all breeds, not just Pit Bulls, liable in the event of an attack.
