30 post-apocalyptic visions of the 21st Century. @DuranGrey: Sorry, but Fuck That. The Stand, although I did love it when I first read it, has seen the light of day already. I looked forward that TV miniseries back in 1994, but it was plodding and much too long. Stephen King should not be allowed to write screenplays for his own work. I want The Dark Tower.

Bernardo Bertolucci Dissects Ten of His Classic Scenes. The 50 Most Controversial Films. 15 Film Production Credits Explained. Ever wonder what all those strange credits are when they roll by at the end of a film? I used to, until I moved to LA, where I started meeting Best Boys and Dolly Grips with their kids when I took my son to the playground—yes, Hollywood, where you meet Gaffers and Armourers at your average Saturday night house party.

Cult Films. Cult Films have limited but very special appeal. Cult films are usually strange, quirky, offbeat, eccentric, oddball, or surreal, with outrageous, weird, unique and cartoony characters or plots, and garish sets. They are often considered controversial because they step outside standard narrative and technical conventions. They can be very stylized, and they are often flawed or unusual in some striking way. Most cult films cut across many film genres (science fiction, horror, melodrama, etc.), although some film genres are also more prone to being cultish, such as the horror or sci-fi genres. Teen comedies are also more often rated as cult films, such as American Graffiti (1973), (National Lampoon's) Animal House (1978), Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), and Dazed and Confused (1993), with quotable lines of dialogue, and memorable characters and scenes.
