Ok, Google and HBO's website were less than helpful and I haven't had TV for months. I'm sure these questions have been asked before but: When is The Sopranos final 8 eps premiering? How about the rest of S3 of Entourage? Is Curb Your Enthusiasm officially dead? And is there a Direct...

Truffaut once wrote that "the New Wave began thanks to Jacques Rivette". His early years saw him work with the founding members of the New Wave as well as other respected directors like Jacques Becker. His early films met with success but as his style developed his films grew longer and longer...

Don't know much about him other than he's highly respected among cinephiles. His films have been notoriously difficult to find on home video, probably because he only made 2 narrative features with his other films being documentaries and shorts. He sometimes acted in his films, and wrote and...

French director known for his musicals that reflect Hollywood influences with a French twist. His films have an infectious exuberance and energy, but can also reflect a deep sadness about life's inequities. Married to director Agnes Varda until his untimely death from a cerebral hemorrhage at...

Considered one of the masters of French cinema and praised for his earthy realism that is quite different stylistically from the New Wave group. He acted in a number of his films and had a reputation as cruel and domineering to actors, yet still attracted many of the top stars like Gerard...

Another of the giants of Soviet silent cinema, I have only seen 2 of this Ukrainian director's films; both of which are tremendous. Particularly Earth, which displays perhaps the greatest artistry and beauty of any silent Russian film I've seen. Dovzhenko would go on to teach at the legendary...

Born in Poland, Vertov emigrated to Russia to study film. Famous for founding a style which opposed Eisenstein by taking a more documentary approach to the use of montage. Novosti dnya (1954) ... aka News of the Day Dans les monts Ala-Taou (1944) Serment des jeunes, Le (1944) Toi, au...

One of the most prominent of Russian silent directors, he was known for his humanist style, similar to what would later be called Neo-Realism, while still using the formal concepts of montage to terrific effect. Spent 3 years in a German POW camp during WWI. Vozvrashcheniye Vasiliya...

My daughter's school is having a chili cook-off on April 21st. The only chili I've ever cooked has come from a can, but I'd like to participate. Anyone out there in HTFland have a killer hot/spicy recipe? I'll share any cash or fabulous prizes earned.

Just trying to gauge if it's worth getting into or if it's just a WOW/Everquest clone.

Caught part of this 90 minute show from Wembley Stadium and was wondering if anyone had the full list of performers. I tuned in about 30 minutes in and caught: Yes: Owner of a Lonely Heart Pet Shop Boys: Left to My Own Devices, It's Alright Tom Jones making some comments via satellite...

Recently, I've found myself eating lots of clam chowder. I thought clam chowder was the only kind of chowder that existed, but while at the grocery store stocking up, I noticed that there are multiple kinds of chowders like potato and beef. So what makes chowder chowder? Is chowder just soup...

I'm mad about Extraordinary Machine. Been listening over and over and over. Any way to get the Brion produced sessions or am I ass out?

My favorite Christmas present this year. These are the 10 postcards included in the tin and Best Buy set. I think my wife got the frames at Sams or Costco. My photographic skillz leave something to be desired as I couldn't figure out how to take this without the light reflection...

Was I the only one who watched this? I thought it was a mostly successful translation of the strip. Dug the art and found a number of laugh out loud funny lines. "They're rich. No matter what you do, they just applaud." The one thing I'm not sold on is the voice actors for the kids. When...

Without question mine is Braunschwieger (aka Liverwurst, the name my mother-in-law uses). Sure it's clogging my arteries with every bite, but a triple bypass surgery is a small price to pay for a sandwich this tasty. :D While looking up the correct spelling I came across the web page for the...
