Nic Cage, Pedro Pascal and Margot Robbie.

Tarantino openly admitted "City on fire" was an inspiration for "Reservoir Dogs", but they are very different films. Tarantino could have mentioned pretty much any other heist-gone-wrong movie out there. When I first saw "Reservoir Dogs" in the 1990s I thought of it as his take on Kubrick's "The Killing".

Why isn't the FBI doing something against this hate groups? Too busy infiltrating anti-wall street organisations?

Now, imagine yourself adrift in the sea, and that's the only land in sight.

Then the scandal it caused must have been bigger than I expected. I was lucky enough to put my hands on an antology that contained both The mound and The loved dead, but it was in Spanish.

Two lesser known ones:

The Loved Dead: A confession from a sexual deviant, who feels his capture is inminent. He recaps the origins of his obsession with the dead as well as the consequences it had on his life.

This one is a rarity because Lovecraft showed little interest for sensuality in his writing. I'm also told it caused quite the controversy when it was published in Weird Tales.

The mound: The complete version of this one didn't appear until 1989, and it could be considered a short novel on its own right. Apparently Lovecraft was hired as a ghostwriter with the instructions to write about a mound in the west haunted by a headless ghost. Lovecraft used this only a bookend, making the mound the entrance to a subterranean civilization. It's little known, but it's likely my favorite Lovecraft story.

It's far more demanding that anything Stephen King ever wrote. Cormac McCarthy doesn't feel the urge to be entertaining other writers do. However it is a rewarding book. Just not in the way you imagine at this point.

We're hardcoded to enjoy eating stuff with too much sugar, salt and fat because thousands of years ago those foods were not that common and our body requires them.

Now they are way too common, but our bodies still crave them.

I'd say he's never been that great of a writer. I remember reading "Johnny Memonic" years ago and found it nearly unreadable. "Neuromancer" was good, though.

We unveil the villain in the next Star wars film!

"The yakuza" from 1974 is much better.

Nah, pixelization. Need to scan that leaf again, this time with a better codec or a higher bitrate.

For me, it's a symptom of his obsessive behaviour. You can also see him trying to find meaning in the shallowest of things -comercial pop music- as a vindication of himself. Be defending shallow music he was implying there is more to him beneath his looks and attitude, which are also pretty shallow.

Of course, the music he defends so passionately HAS artistic value. Just not in the ways he thinks it does.

Was it in rue Morgue?

Loved him in Spy Kids, he nailed the children programs host who may be slightly disturbed.

I read a few of his plays during college, great stuff when you get used to the style (they were written for people from the 1600s). I'm far from an expert, but the one I enjoyed the most was "Othello", because it reads like a thriller.

Season 1 is.

I thought it was brilliant. A page turner with great prose. I've wanted to pick something else by the same author, but can't make my mind about which one.

They did in 2002 and there are good sounding bootlegs of the event. Look for Hartford, CT, 08-02-2002 for instance.

Rod Stewart's cover of "Downtown Train" comes to mind.

I completely forgot Fraser and Michelle Yeoh knew each other... they were together in the third Mummy film.
