a warm gun is the personal web site of multimedia artist and resident geek Ian Adams, based out of Seattle, WA. The page you’re seeing shows all posts in the “Film” category.
The most recently posted stuff can be found on the front page. Older posts and articles are listed, by category and date, in the archives. There is also the Link Blog, which is my (almost) daily list of interesting links and brief commentary on AWG-related topics.
Additional areas on this site can be accessed by using the navigation links on the far left. (Or far bottom if you’re visiting this site using an alternative browser like Opera Mini.)
I’m not sure whether I should mourn the fact that a powerful anti-censorship guy is dead, or if I should celebrate the fact that a general in the MPAA’s war against moviegoers is dead. I think instead, I’ll just let history play out and see if he ended up doing more good than harm, or visa versa.

I think it was when I came out of the cinema after watching the 2004 remake of The Manchurian Candidate. I’d actually seen the original for the first time the year before, and had absolutely fallen in love with it. John Frankenheimer’s 1962 film was a brilliantly-executed mindfuck, which was itself the genius of the movie. I loved every bit of it, from the crazed juxtaposition of the communist briefing of the progagonists’ brainwashing and a congenial ladies’ club meeting to the use of the deck of cards as a subconscious trigger.
