Rage Addict/Deadbeat Dad Rep. Joe Walsh Decides Yelling At His Constituents Is Good Politics
...and when you see this, it's not hard to understand what he must have sounded like as a husband and father. He yells impatiently at his own constituents within less that two minutes in this clip. Whenever I've seen him on any news but Fox, he always has that biting-my-lip-waiting-to-talk look

"The Hills Have Eyes" (Wes Craven, 1977) -Hollywood Bitchslap Review, 2000
(Not one of my better-written reviews, but eh.)
Wes Craven is maddening. I really cannot stand the SCREAM films--except the first. After that the postmodernism becomes an excuse for one more fucking slasher series but one that can sell itself to those too smart for such things. Along with Romero, Cron

Do Look Now-"Don't Look Now" (Nic Roeg, 1973)
More Nic Roeg for you, the classic psychic-horror film starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. Besides just being eerie as hell, it also has one of the most explicit, and well-done, sex scenes ever, of a sort that seemed not to be possible outside 1969-1974. (And hot married sex at

Murnau's NOSFERATU (1924) + Dreyer's VAMPYR (1931)
Two classics of vampire horror to also watch online, following up on my Count Dracula post: F.W. Murnau's silent NOSFERATU (I also recommend Herzog's 1979 version, which is just as good in its own way) and Carl Theodor Dreyer's virtually-silent, eerie and deeply weird VAMPYR.
