Element Of Crime
--mostly for the sound--
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

aye, i hear ya.. the mummy returns is one of them... zzzzzzzzz...

Ah man dont get me started, they look cheap too.

I thought the menus on the first release of TRAFFIC were excellent. I haven't seen the criterion ones, but these were definately of a criterion standard.

i like the cecil b. demented menu. band of outsiders and boogie nights is pretty good.

one thing i hate about menues is when, lets say, you go to the set-up option, music starts and every time you select something, the song stops and starts over again,so you hear the first 2 seconds of that music like three times before you hit "play" at the bottom or "return to main menu" sigh

The Spinal Tap menu deserves a mention for the group's blathering while the menu first comes up. Funny stuff.

Man, the Memento Limited Edition is one of the worst ever. It's a cool idea, but I don't want to solve puzzles to get my extra features (I think there's a thread somewhere all about this).

I think I really like static menus with nice artwork most of the time. I'd rather not have to wait for an animation to finish before I can acces the menu, even if the animation is cool. Criterion menus are usually pretty simple, as are PTAs and Wes Anderson's.

Eraserhead's is awesome, just because it's a very rare deleted scene all by itself.

same way, i have the memento limited edition, there's a lot of stuff on it, except, i'm too lazy and not smart enough to figure it out.

fight club menu is cool
requiem for a dream - real nice
zoolander is basic but nice
spinal tap - funny commentary
amelie - french and cool
