Comments | Blaine: I almost deliberately omitted this classic because it was directed by Roman Polanski. On the one hand, it’s #128 on the IMDB top 250 of all time. On the other hand, the director is a despicable human being who should have spent the last four decades in prison. If you ever allow a creator’s actions to influence whether or not you consume his or her creations, make sure you learn about Roman Polanski before watching any of his films. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “8-Bit Generation: The Commodore Wars really has me interested, as the story of Tramiel and Commodore is a great one.” Blaine says, “I was very pleasantly surprised by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and I really need to get around to watching my copy of Rise of the Planet of the Apes before the sequel comes out.”
