John Vanderslice – “Promising Actress”

9:59AM Jess McGuire | Reader Daniel sent me a link to the following song, saying “This is John Vanderslice re-telling the story of Mullholland Drive in a 4 minute pop song. The original version was on his album Cellar Door. Pretty much sending it because it’s a really good song. (not his absolute best, which for my money is Trance Manual off his unfuckwithable album Pixel Revolt)” More »

‘Jackie Brown,’ and Other Glaring Mistakes on the LA Times’s Top 25 Films List

8:46AM STV | There’s a place and time for discussing the inanity of movie lists — usually early January, right when the radius of critics’ annual Top 10 circle jerk is at its widest. But a few prime exhibits pop up throughout the year as well, such as last weekend’s Los Angeles Times feature selecting the top 25 Los Angeles films of the last 25 years. While we wouldn’t begrudge the contributors’ right to close out the late-summer news cycle as energetically as possible (we’ve all seen what happens when John Horn gets bored), the tactical and intellectual errors that occurred along the way are an unfortunate example of zeal gone horribly wrong.
