Holy double post!

According to the Wikipedia synopsis, Gummo is a movie I will never ever ever fucking see, and I'd like to forget it exists sooner than later.

NO PARENTS ALLOWED!

Nouvelle Vague is more infuriating than an army of Justin Biebers.

Funny story, when I studied abroad, the first night we had all settled into the hotel, a friend of mine made a reference to swap.avi to me and another guy we didn't know yet overheard.  He happened to have it on his computer, so the three of us, plus two other friends watched it in our hotel room.  At one point I…

I doubt there's a reading of the film able to account for every single one of the symbols that provides an entirely consistent logic, but I also think condemning the film for that reason misses its actual appeal.  The movie deals with a number of seminal divisions in our thinking- man/woman, human/nature,…

@avclub-29ec0fbe1f8e460ddba44677001af386:disqus I'm glad you brought up the idea of "unmasking," because I think that it's crucial to the narrative arcs of both characters.  I disagree that Dafoe undergoes any kind of growth- I think he ends the movie as naked as Gainsbourg.  Bearing in mind that the characters are…

Where do you even go to find those, @avclub-d485c2cd25e482dc2c0b60bfad47fd73:disqus?

Jesus Christ, how does that even happen.  Taking for granted she's not just joking, what's most offensive to me about this isn't so much that she's oblivious to feminism, it's that she identifies herself with s supposedly subversive genre of music- punk- and is oblivious to one of the most revolutionary movements in…

So wait,  is Claire impatient with humanity and not tall, or is she impatient with and short with humanity?  This is important for me to know as I size up potential mates.

Actually, on the subject of price, the amount a concert ticket costs these days have transformed concerts from a great thing to do on a Friday to a prohibitively expensive luxury.  I really do miss when scraping together a handful of tip money was enough to see most of the indie bands in town this week- nowadays,…

I've heard that from several people.  They've broken my heart a couple of times, though- there have been like two or three times where I was driving with a friend listening to their iPod and a Magnetic Fields song that was absolutely beautiful came on.  When I'd try to use that as a gateway, though, there would just…

I used to attend doom and drone concerts semi regularly when I was around 16 or 17, and for as much as it pains me to say it, it's music that's best enjoyed alone.  Before I go on, I thought the last two Earth albums were the most innovative of their career and everything, but I couldn't imagine seeing them live as…

She should do a cover of this: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I seriously need to own a flag like that and manufacture "Hooray Fartjoke" flags to everyone I see on a regular basis.

"Looks like your now jobless teenage daughter…"

I am full time internet

I'd rather get with Anderson Cooper, frankly.

He absolutely kills it on tumblr.

Oh come on, how would playing a stuck up fashionista who trivializes everything she touches on The Office overlap with anything about MIA, besides in all of the ways?
