"We'll finish with my favorite hardcore record of all. Converge, to me, stand apart from all genres and scenes as just simply the best heavy band in the world, possibly ever. I never tire of their output, they're endlessly inventive, exciting, weird, vicious, and just plain fucking brilliant. Of all their records this is my favorite as it just seems a little more direct, stripped back, dare I say it, hardcore than the others. This is definitely my desert island hardcore album."

"Sure, it’s uneven. For every Book of Job there’s a Book of Leviticus, featuring some of the most boring prose ever written. But if you were stranded on a desert island, what book would better reward long study? And has there ever been a more beautiful distillation of existential philosophy than the Book of Ecclesiastes? Excluding those bizarre final verses, which seem to have been tacked on long after the book’s original composition, by priests nervous about the subversive message."

"It was hard to choose one Antonioni film, but Red Desert feels like the perfect summation of Antonioni’s work. Antonioni used color for the first time in order to show psychological imbalance and subjectivity. He depicted the modern alienation surrounding the industrial fog that’s imposed upon our lives in urban environments, and he shows how these forces can threaten our sanity. The film also has the most freakishly uncomfortable sex scene, which turns an entire room pink. Only Monica Vitti has that power"

Not as good as a show in Boulevard.

I love shows with Drag Queens. They are so over the top and hilarious. And they can laugh at themselves where women can't. This show wasn't as good as maybe, an episode of Rupaul or a show in Boulevard but it still deserved a standing ovation which it got! The songs and the performance in this show were brilliant! And my favourite part? That weird stop in the desert with all the hillbillies. Such fun!

David McK (3649 KP) rated The Ten Commandments (2006) in TV

Nov 30, 2025 (Updated Nov 30, 2025)

2006 mini series that dramatizes the story of Moses, as told in the Old Testament, with Part 1 dealing with him being brough up in Egypt, his killing of a Egyptian, escape top the desert and return to lead his people from exile (and the Biblical 10 plagues of Egypt), while part 2 instead follows the early years of their Hebrew's wanderings in the wilderness.

Of the two parts, Part One is - in my opinion - definitely the better of the two.
