Six degrees of Internet separation

By Zach Noe Towers and Zach Towers · Thursday, Oct. 28,2004 12 a.m.

orget "Friendster" and every other lame excuse for a web-based social network you know. The mama of all web sites has been birthed, and its name, is the Facebook. That's right, www.thefacebook.com is your portal to the coolest "peer connection" device known to man.

An ode to All Hallow's Eve

By C. Warner Sills · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:39 p.m.

Well, it's that time again. Pumpkins are being sold all over town, the candy industry is preparing for its biggest day of the season and somewhere a posse of young hoodlums is compiling a stash of toilet paper and fresh grade-A eggs. Yes, it's time for everyone's favorite holiday, Halloween.

DVD spotlights worst director ever

By John Barnett · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:35 p.m.

"Glen or Glenda," "Bride of the Monster," "Plan 9 from Outer Space"? Most people these days have never heard of those films, let alone seen them. They were all directed, albeit haphazardly, by Edward D. Wood Jr., widely considered to be the worst director in film history.

Classic war film reborn

By -Alec Toombs · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:34 p.m.

Oliver Stone has certainly earned his title as moviemaking's grand provocateur of the past 20 years. Between "Platoon," "JFK" and "Natural Born Killers," Stone has consistently stirred up cinematic shitstorms.

Really, what the Helsing?

By -Paul Straw · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:31 p.m.

After advertising as a movie monster royale, "Van Helsing" had so much promise behind it. The DVD follows in the same vein; it looks really good but that's about all there is to it.

By George Lyle IV · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:28 p.m.

The press kit accompanying Skindred's Babylon described the band's sound as an amalgam between the rapping/singing style of a Sean Paul and the instrumentals of System of a Down.

A 'fond farewell' to a tragic genius

By -Nate Bethea · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:26 p.m.

It's a small consolation that Elliott Smith's posthumous release is not by any means the kind of opportunistic barrel scraping that you see with Tupac Shakur's material.

Going back to the 'futures'

By Leslie Benson · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:24 p.m.

Taking on the world seems a big job for any kid, especially after growing up in the late '80s and early '90s with bands like Nirvana and Soul Asylum turning heads around him or her.

Prepare to pee yourself

By Zach Noe Towers · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:21 p.m.

Finally, a film that lives up to everything scary movies are known for, and then some. The second installment of the Japanese series created by Takashi Shimizu, "The Grudge" in itself is a completely disconnected story from "The Ring;" however, if you liked one, you'll more than likely enjoy the other.

Night of the living British people

By Doug Evans · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:16 p.m.

While the title of the film immediately suggests a zombie spoof flick, "Shaun of the Dead" is more on par with a Mel Brooks movie than another installment of "Scary Movie."

'Huckabees' an exercise in existentialism

By -Alec Toombs · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:13 p.m.

David O. Russell is one weird dude. After making his directorial debut with the icky incest comedy "Spanking the Monkey," Russell made two of the '90s most underrated flicks in the forms of a trippy road movie ("Flirting with Disaster") and an eerily prescient Gulf War satire ("Three Kings").

Psychic faith

By Colin Kearns · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 11:11 p.m.

Nine days before Halloween, the weather almost seemed too good to be true. An oceanic sky cradled clumps of perfect clouds, the wind flowed subtly but carried enough strength to refresh walkers and cyclists and the sun gave a warm glow that reminded the student of early spring.

My car exploded

By Joanna Borns · Wednesday, Oct. 27,2004 6:16 p.m.

I've heard IU's campus has some sort of parking problem. Individual vehicle sectors, commonly called parking spaces, are in high demand and short supply. Students must often promise away their firstborn children just to obtain parking permits and even then, they are not guaranteed a spot.
