| I agree with Christian, there is good stuff out there; it has to be looked for. In re: The Road, even that opinion's subjective, because I've seen reviewers who say it's worst piece of writing they've ever read; I'm starting to hear the same things about the Time Traveler's Wife. That type of dissent isn't exactly going to cause me to care about it. |
| ED [11-08-2009 05:48] | |
| Squeaky - Manson is in jail for conspiracy to commit murder because it was proven that he was the one orchastrating the crimes committed by his followers. What I find ironic is that they can be on death row and have their sentences changed to life in prison when the state abolishes the death penalty. Then when they reinstate the death penalty they still have life imprisionment because you can't have your sentance changed back to the previous greater one. Then they become eligible for parole under the terms of the life sentence even though they should have been executed years ago. |
| Squeaky Fromme [10-08-2009 17:26] | |
Does anyone realize that Manson never committed murder himself, yet he's in prison on a murder charge?
He's still a psychopath that shouldn't be freed, but he never actually committed a murder. |

WOW...the response to the main topic has been outstanding! Thanks to all who contributed. I will post my final thoughts in the upcoming PCR.
To Curious: A decent turnout of some good friends, good food and good times.
To Joel: Thanks! You haven't been "blocked" so I'm not sure what you're referring to.
To Simon: You weren't blocked from Readers Comments, but one of your posts may have contained profanity which is filtered on the homepage (but not on the Message Board)
To Matt Gamble: The title that kept getting blocked was I "heart" Huckabee which uses a special character that is filtered on the homepage (but not on the Message Board). We've had stalkers that necessitated this precaution, so sorry.

| Mike - Interesting you brought up the Manson / Monkees connection. If you check the facts, Manson was incarcerated on a charges resulting from car theft during the time the Monkees auditions were held. I never heard this rumor until the 80's when Eric Lefkowitz wrote his book The Monkees Tale. He supposedly got this information from Mickey Dolenz but a quick check of the facts would have proved it could not have happened. |
| Jason Fetters [09-08-2009 23:30] | |
| Still Lisa, Paul is a friend of mine. Someone I used to work with. That's interesting about "What About Pho?" No, its not my film but I would like to see it. |

Yes, this is pop culture website and its also a news website. I'm suggesting people not make "entertainment" from what happened. People are free to make whatever they wish. I also am not suggesting that Ed not be allowed to report on what he wishes to.
I'm not "upset" by the article either. Norman Bates and Hannibal Lector are loose interpretations of Ed Gein (and many others for that matter), they are not the story of his life. Thats not really a relivant comparison to "bio-pics" if you will. P.S. Why do you care what "family" life Charles Manson had?
However, above all of this. I thought that this was the readers comments section, am I wrong? This was my opinion (I thought it was in somewhat poor taste) and if I wanted to debate this I would have put it on the message board. I saw a place to comment so I did, thats all. It wasnt intended to be a debate, just my opinion.
Plus, he's soaked up enough fame whilst alive.
Best,
Ashley Lewis

| My, what a busy comment section we have this week. Ashley, would you be as upset if ED commented on the different movies (from "Psycho" to "Silence of the Lambs") that Ed Gein inspired without going in depth about his crimes? What ED was doing, in my opinion, is offering those interested readers a look at the many films Manson and his ilk inspired. And let me preface this by saying that though I find his actions abhorant and I am by no means a fan, I have written to Charles Manson in the past, asking him questions ranging from his real family to whether or not he really auditioned for the Monkees. The curious want to know. |

| Except that you may be forgetting Ashley, this is a pop culture website. Every other website has the Manson murder tragedies in spades. Besides, there was a hell of a lot of pop culture associated with the murders. |
| Ashley Lewis [09-08-2009 18:33] | |
| Ed, I agree that there has been a lot of attention brought to the Manson murders in light of the 40th anniverary. I understand you wanted to take a different approach. I just think, for such an occasion, the focus should be on the tragedy more so than the pop culture phenomena which it resulted in. |
| ED [09-08-2009 17:06] | |
| Ashly - there have been books, articles, and entire websites dedicated the Manson Family crimes and the people and psychology behind them. Many writers have written articles for the 40th anniversary that revist these events and they are popping up on search engines daily now. I chose to focus on one often overlooked aspect of the murders -filmmaker's attempt to cash in, expolit, and ocassionally factually document them. I think plenty of attention has been brought back to these crimes recently so my article concentrated on a different angle. |
| Still Lisa [09-08-2009 14:34] | |
To Jason: I recently saw an animated short film called "What the Pho?" about that noodle dish you wrote about -- was that your film, by any chance?
And also -- who is the Paul you're referring to in your article? Is that someone we know or are supposed to know? Or did I miss something somewhere (which could very well be the case)? I was slightly confused about that, so that's why I'm asking. Thanks. |

Terence said: "wait a minute Lisa. Simon writes his opinion, nolan writes his opinion etc. and Christian comes on here saying who are we to have an opinion and you are defending that? im confused."
I don't see it that way. It seemed to me that Christian was just giving his opinion too. Yeah, it was a little bitchy in tone, but that's nothing new around here; emotions run high a lot. We're an opinionated bunch.
Terence said: "wow Lisa you are completely taking my comment out of context. the context was that its obvious that the ones controlling stuff find it dispensable. thats is a fact most will probably admit anc chock up to good business ethic. that can be a fact not subjective. wether the material is good or bad can be subjective but thats not what I wrote."
I re-read your original post. I did misunderstand that part and accidentally take that out of context. Totally my bad on that one. Sorry 'bout that. |

I rarely make it over to this site anymore (on a side note, it looks great Nolan) but I decided to check it out today.
I read the Manson article and was a little dissapointed to see someone writing about the movies of the grim crime that he orchestrated. Its the 40th anniversary of a heinous act and I think its in poor taste to have an article based on the movies pertaining to the crime and not just the act itself (I know there is a forward about the actual crime in the article). Charles Manson has more fan mail sent to him than any other inmate in the US. Thats just insane. There are people alive who were deeply effected by what he and his followers did. I just think that if any attention should be brought to this subject it should be for the tragedy alone and maybe the psychology behind it.
I dont know, just a thought.

ED - Great article on all those Manson films. I didn't know that there was that many either so close to when the murders happened. Only one I've seen is Helter Skelter, it use to play a lot on TBS.
John - Good reviews on Aenigma and Penitentiary. Never seen both. Penitentiary sounds good but the Fulci one doesn't. Lots of Fulci's later stuff isn't as good as the films in made in the 70's and early 80's.

David Fincher? are you kidding me? Peter Jackson should have stayed there. King Kong anyone?
I actually agree with you about music Matt Gamble but not so much in that I think Girl Talk is getting anything into the mainstream. and if he did it wouldnt be surprising all he does is make collages of music that already exists that he didnt make. we already have hip hop in the mainstream which samples like theres no tomorrow so any fame he gets in the mainstream isnt actually all the surprising.For instance take mainstream rap or hip hop it hasnt to this day taken any of the interesting innovations pioneered in backpack underground rap like Cannibal Ox, Dalek, or MF Doom. Radiohead is one of my favorite bands but lets face it they are a fluke. I wish that would happen more often.

To Matt Gamble
Sorry to disagree about your lists but I wouldn't put a single movie listed on the Top 100. Some are good films, but Harry Potter in particular have never separated themselves from one another to an elite status. "Control Room" is too dated and tied to politics to hold up over time and I haven't seen "Downfall"
No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood and Dark Knight are the locks off the top of my head, but 10 - I don't see it.
Radiohead is an interesting choice but I'll always associate them with the 90's - similar to saying U2 should be thought of -- not tied to this decade. Linkin Park is the only band I can think of for sure, but they could fizzle out as well.
TV's legacy will probably be the cable contributions like Sopranos, Six Feet Under, (I'll agree) Battlestar - which surprised me, but network TV is a joke. It's filled with reality show crap and will be a joke decades from now.

| Matt Gamble [07-08-2009 09:45] | |
This martyr mentality of the fringe is counter productive and it needs to stop. You shouldn't be bitching about the mainstream or labeling certain things as terrible, you should be trying to find the connective tissue that ties together popular acts of today with those that you think might hold more cultural or artistic worth. Crapping on someone's taste is not going to do that. Blatantly labeling a decade of art as crap or whatever only makes you look uninformed, not the person who does find value.
Especially when you have things like music and movies, which are so dependent on using past material and techniques and building on it to create their own unique visions. These are new twists on old themes, yet the one thing that seems to hold true is people always seem to be complaining that the new simply isn't as good as the old without ever actually taking the time to sit down and analyze if that is even true. |
| Matt Gamble [07-08-2009 09:34] | |
| As for music, the biggest band on the planet is Radiohead. An art band. Then you have someone like Girl Talk blowing up everywhere, who not only is pushing a revolution in creativity but a cultural revolution as well. That hasn't happened in decades. Claiming the mainstream only wants Boy Bands or easy to digest and easily disposable filler is a blatant fallacy, and it has been disproven time and again. Great bands/acts rise to the top of the music world and time and again the mainstream gravitates towards them. Does every great band get that success and recognition? No. Yet that seems to be a general expectation of the fringe. That all great bands should be well known and that Boy Bands and pop stars and whatever else are standing in their way, as if 12 year old girls listening to N'SYNC and 14 year old boys listening to Limp Bizkit are interested in or willing to listen to The Velvet Underground or Leonard Cohen or whoever. They don't care and that is their right. |
| Matt Gamble [07-08-2009 09:20] | |
Well I give up on making the list. Ah well. Continuing on.
There are plenty more films from that year I didn't include, and the naughts as a decade have been outstanding, far better then the 90's and especially so compared to the 80's. 2009 is shaping up to be yet another outstanding year in a decade that is filled with them.
The other remarkable thing about the naughts, is that for the first time since the 70's, Indie, genre and arthouse directors are seeing mainstream success and recognition. Timur Bekmambetov, Spike Jonze, Takashi Miike, Michele Gondry, Charlie Kauffman, David Fincher, Michael Haneke, Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, David Gordon Green, Lars von Trier and Neil Marshall just for starters. Relative unknowns like Shane Acker and Neill Blomkamp are being given major pushes for their films because the public is responding to their unique vision. |

The short of it is my grandma is still alive and I went to Louisville, since it was so close. Tired of waiting for her 'death'. So I had to have some fun. Some fun, with my back going out yet again. I've decided no more long distance driving trips. From now on it will be to hop a jet and get a rental car. But this will be in emergencies. No more pleasure trips until my back has surgery or some other alternative can come about. |

I used to sing these lyrics to the "Flash Gordon" theme song, based on the talents(?) of star Sam J. Jones:

Acts better then none of us.
He's nobody's friend
He was better in "10"
'Cause at least in "10" he didn't have to act
Flash!

| ED, excellent piece on the "Manson" films. I do agree that "Manson" is the best of the bunch as far as getting inside the "family." Ironic that Squeaky Fromme is about to get out of prison isn't it. I didn't see the remake of "Helter Skelter" but the original version was also outstanding. Steve Railsback was excellent as Manson. I remember him later starring in "The Stuntman" and "Lifeforce" and then disappearing. Too bad, he was talented. I can still remember reading the book "Helter Skelter" and the light in my bedroom lamp mysteriously going out as, in the book, the "family" was creepy-crawling a house. |

As a fan of exploitation Ive found that some of the most exciting stuff has only recently been made...The two best example I will give are The Passion Of The Christ and Fahrenheit 911...Both are great in their own ways and I have no doubt that decades from now will be the stuff of legend...Who can forget three seasons of watching Flavor Flav banging low class hookers, eating fried chicken and watermelon on the minstral show The Flavor of Love...
Music has perhaps been hit the hardest in the mainstream...But I see hope everytime I go somewhere like Vinyl Fever and listen to the music on the Paste Magazine display...Being a fan of rap (the hardest hit by the mainstream) I have Raekwon, Jay-Z, Slaughterhouse and The Clipse to look forward to in the next month or so and can currently be found listening to Wu-Tangs "Chamber Music" their best and most creative project in over a decade...Things are looking pretty good.

I will co-sign most of what Puff wrote because I agree that not everything about current pop culture sucks...'
In my opinion much of reality tv (as bad as some of it is) isnt that far of a stretch from the 70s Mondo docs most of us love...Anything gross, disgusting, exotic or taboo I want to see there is either a show or a channel for...John Waters gave us fictional white trash sleaze...Jerry Springer and Maury give us the real thing...Nobody here loves watching Cheaters?
As far as regular shows I get alot of enjoyment out of Adult Swim, Chappels Show and South Park...All of which are as prophetic and boundary pushing as anything ever on tv...
Mainstream movies for the most part are generally pretty bad but that hasnt stopped me from enjoying newer films...Last week I picked up a Jamaican gangster movie called Shottas out of the $5 bin at Wal-Mart that is as low budget and wild as anything made during the grindhouse era...I also think JCVD and Oldboy were great...

Because different people have different opinions and the idea of what is obvious is subjective and therefore not the same for each person.
Arguing that something is right or wrong is silly, because it's all subjective. 9 out of 10 dentists preferring a certain brand of toothpaste doesn't necessarily mean that all the other toothpastes suck. Opinions can't be right or wrong because they're opinions and IT'S ALL SUBJECTIVE.

My point from the very beginning is and was - That the things "we are supposed to like" as in the media saying so, are horrible and I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know just like in the past that most artistic stuff or talent based stuff isn't usually in the main stream anyway. "Movies and Music have become to business controled and creativity and talent are out the window. Yes there are some good things that come out of the mess. Some good tunes and some good films have come out in the last 10 years. But no matter what comes out RIGHT NOW is quick and easy with no staying power. People are lazy and want things quick and easy, they don't wanna think about stuff. (Main stream audience) Of course there are good writers out there writing books, there will always be. But in the Entertainment area of (Movies,Music) The cookie cutter theory is in full force. Can we all say Boy Bands. |

| Brandon [05-08-2009 15:00] | |
Wow, the bomb went off
I said this to Nolan, who can add his own expose, but I find it simple: things suck = the things being produced will NOT have a legacy.
For example, what films in the last 10 years would be on a list of the 100 Best of All Time --maybe 5 tops?
The same across the board, there are always treasures, but the recycled nature of creating has hit a wall in Hollywood, comics, the corporate control music industry et al. |

we arent telling anyone anything. last time I checked this was an editorial/commentary type website. maybe though you arent thinking objectivly enough and need to look around to see if maybe all these people who are saying this might have something. i will admit that "everything sucks" is kinda broad but you I cant believe for the life of me you took that literally. |

liking something lesser and something dumned down just because thats all thats around right now doesn't equal evolution!!now thats not say you couldnt grab a pick axe and dig but even then its slim.
lets be honest here Dr. Who which was aimed at kids had better sci-fi stories then the new episodes of Doctor Who which are aimed at adults!!!! and anyone who tries to defend the awfull crop of souless horror films we have been having to deal with for the last ten years or more is completely nuts. thats plain to see. thats not to say that this isnt just a phase. the empty gloss and explosions, the useless plastic reality TV, the wham bam thank you mam IPOD single song fad, all have to end at some point. and at least thats a brightness at the end of the tunnel. |

| I am a few years younger than Christian and I know in just the last 5 years quality has dropped in media. i can talk to the younger crazedfanboy crew like Mason or Jake and Bobby and even they have said new music just isnt as good and they are 18! things have gotten flashier and quick and emptier thats not perception thats fact. why? simple the people responsible for funding movies or bands arent fans/businessmen anymore now they are just businessmen. They do not care to try and nurture a band to be better through the years they only care that their single lasts the week and then on to the next band. same with movies. I cant see why this isnt obvious. Nolan, me, Chris, Simon, and the rest have not changed what stimulates us or what we like. If something came along that was well written, well acted, and intellegent we would like it. If we dont its because it isnt out there. liking something lesser and something dumned down just because thats all thats around right now doesn't equal evo |
| Terence [05-08-2009 13:09] | |
| What did Christian say exactly? being a response to Nolan and the rest of us on the boards he has wrongly painted a picture of us as lovers of mainstream art and that we dont search beyond Borders and Best Buy. apparently he has forgotten everything about us and our columns, message boards posts etc. We do search. I more than anyone when it comes to music. I know who Joe Hill is. I have seen some episodes of Batle Star Galactica and am aware of Let The Right One In. thats all you got? the point I think of Simon's post wasnt that there arent great underground music and movies but that the mainstream has gotten dumber. you didnt have to search for rare treasure. now you do. I for one find it fun to find rare unheard of bands but it sure was nice when Pavement was somewhat of a household name though. Further more this isnt limited to age or people not wanting to accept change. thats insulting. |

Hello everyone.
I'm back from 'vacation'. Barely had internet access. Library visits only give you enough time to take care of Banking and such. Nolan, the shotgun in the face is not a pleasant experience, is it? I was held up twice at RENT-A-MOVIE back in 1990. I have video of it here near me. The funny thing is that I used to carry my gun to work every day. The manager begged me not to bring it. I complied and the very first night afterwards I was held up by two of the 'cultural elite'.
Terence- Sorry for the procrastination. I will dig up the DVD with the band I was supposed to send to you from the show FRIDAYS. |
