The Loudest Film Ever Made

FreakyTrigger (Free subscription) | 8 hours ago

Spinal Tap does not go up to eleven. Crank could be cranked up a bit. Even a film like Transformers with its non-stop explosions and destruction does not come close to the new holder of this title. Enter the little movie that could, Tulpan from Khazakstan. Initially you would not peg this tale of nomadic [...]

And now, a word from our Wally

CycleDog (Free subscription) | yesterday

Some of you may remember the Crank Index piece from a couple of months ago. In it, I proposed an index consisting of the following points, to be used whenever we encounter anti-cyclist comments in blogs, newspaper articles, web forums, and the like. Here are all eleven: (1)Bicyclists need tags, licenses, and insurance. (2) All bicyclists are scofflaws. They run red lights and stop signs all the time!...

U2, Nick Cave (But Not Anvil) Among Oscar Hopefuls

Stereogum (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009

The little-documentary-that-could The Story Of Anvil , about the band that was like a "real life Spinal Tap" right down to having a drummer named Robb Reiner, stole everyone's heart this past year. Except for people whose hearts are made of stone. Or metal. Well if your heart was made of \m/ metal then it probably stole your heart, too. But if your heart is made of Oscar-material precious...

This bit reminds me of the Senate health bill which comes in at 2074 pages. I can hear Harry Reid say in a British accent that their health care is better because it's bigger.....

LEGO Rock Band will ‘Rock You’

EclipseMagazine.com (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

Sticking with the LEGO theme, the official TV spot for “LEGO Rock Band” hit the networks today, and it tips its hat to Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” one of the 45 songs included in the game. Like other iterations of the “Rock Band” franchise, “LEGO Rock Band” puts the power of rock into the hands [...]

“Anvil!,” “It Might Get Loud” Left Off Oscar Documentary Short List

Rock and Roll Daily (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

Photo: Kravitz/FilmMagic There’s the old adage, “If it’s too loud, you’re too old.” Looks like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is older than we thought: two of the year’s best and most rocking documentaries, It Might Get Loud and Anvil! The Story of Anvil were both left off the 15-film short list [...]

Snub! The Story of Snub

Film Experience Blog (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

Each year the Academy's documentary branch finds a new way to enrage film fans everywhere. This year's big casualty: Anvil! The Story of Anvil , the blissfully reviewed heavy metal documentary ( my review ). That unforgettable music doc's Oscar snub is unsurprising but in a way it only strengthens the movie, adding yet one more pitiable chord of try-try-try never succeed to the engrossing story --...

It pains me to admit that, in this particular case, she has a point. And it's not on the top of her head. Sarah Palin has declared that Newsweek's cover, featuring her with elbows akimbo in her running shorts is "sexist." Especially in light of the fact that the picture was taken for the August issue of "Runner's World." In this context, the apparel and the pose still land just...

Zero The Hero

A Motörhead fan-blog (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009

My mood is somewhat like the North Atlantic weather at the moment - changeable, very changeable but Pop Pickers any gloomy listlessness is as always shortlived here in Victory Mansions and it's onwards and outwards. Stiff upperlip and all that. So blind was I in 1983 that I refused to condemn the Black Sabbath album release Born Again . However, deep down inside I knew this was a busted flush, as much...

Translation, for all the "Spinal Tap" fans out there: What's wrong with being sexy? "We chose the most interesting image available to us to illustrate the theme of the cover, which is what we always try to do," Meacham said, in a statement provided to Huffington Post. "We apply the same ...
