john…i can’t remember what thread we were talking about golden compass on but i remember that we were and i claimed they were selling it as the new lord of the rings and you said that they weren’t…..

now i just saw the trailer again last night and as the captions talk about the fact new line took us to middle earth they have on screen, literally, a gold ring literally into a golden compass….

do you seriously not see that as selling this as the new lord of the rings? that goes beyond “from the people who brought you lotr”

again….they have a ring literally turn into a compass. it doesn’t get much more clear that that….i mean they were also the studio that distributed dungeons and dragons…why not mention that..hell they released the house party series and austin powers..why not tout those too?

they sold it as the new rings. plain and simple.

Expecting Se7en or Silence of the Lambs were you? Zodiac is a different kind of thriller. It's a movie that sits back and just tells a story from multiple perspectives and manages to thoroughly entertain and keep attention. It doesn't actually focus on the Zodiac killer himself, but on the people effected. It's a look at obsession and it's consequences on our lives. It's a very deep character study. For a 2 hour 40 minute movie, it felt to me like only 90 minutes. It was THAT good. But I'm glad to hear you guys giving so much praise to Gone Baby Gone and Eastern Promises, my second and third best films of the year. As for your worst of list, I quite enjoyed Number 23. Why the hell wasn't Epic Movie on the list of worsts? I'm wondering why Hot Fuzz, Shoot 'Em Up, The Simpson's Movie, and Planet Terror weren't even mentioned in the "Best Of" segment. In terms of pure enjoyment, these were at the top of the list for me. Zodiac is hands down the best film of the year. Expecting Se7en or Silence of the Lambs were you?

As a left leaning anti-war kinda guy, I thought that this film was proof positive that most festivals don't know a damn thing. Also I think REDACTED should have been on the Worst List.

Be careful, That neighborhood can get rough. But it's a lot better than it was five years ago. Funny about your Star Wars mememory.. when they did the re-release of IV we all went to the one am show there. IT was a childhood dream come true. Also check out the Vista theater on Hollywood and Sunset when you get a chance... a true classic well kept theater. Ed Wood used to live in it. Keep those benefits!

I know John and Doug found it disappointing but for me it rocked and captured the short story perfectly. And I have to throw out The Mist as the best horror film of the year.

I've just listened to your show for the first time and am thoroughly amused. I lived in LA for 4 years and I'd like to offer you a suggestion: The Velvet Margarita. Best mexican in town, followed by LaCabana. My one comment about your show is about Terminator star Christian Bale. While I too think that Bale is by far one of the best actors of our generation let's not forget the utter rubbish that was the film EQUILIBRIUM. Bale can DEFINITELY make a bad movie. No matter how earnest his acting was in that piece of steaming dung he could not write himself out of the ass-achingly bad script he signed on for. Matrix it was not. You guys rock.
