Quick and Dirty:

Praise Ryan Murphy or some shit
I'm glad The Murph had the requisite cajones to stand up to those arts-hating Kings of Leon and made them realize that bastardization of pop music on a grotesquely pandering wankfest show is the ONLY WAY KNOWN TO MANKIND for the kids to get in to music or the arts. I mean, they would…

H0ly Hand Grenade's got it!

Yeah, I guess I kind of blew past the distribution of other people's films part. That's got some potential, but it will still have to ride his coattails to be any different from what indepent low and micro budget filmmakers are already doing. And those coattails come courtesy of the studio system.

The current studio model is fucked, no question. At the same time, what he's suggesting is nothing new. It's just that since he has studio built noteriety and wealth, he can do what EVERY OTHER INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER ON THE FUCKING PLANET does.

Agreed. This is pretty fucking sweet. Not that there's any chance in hell I'm going to dish out the cash to go to one of the tour screenings, but that's mainly because I have a wife and kids and need to account for my film geek related spending.

WHOA! Fun fact: Holly Beth Vincent recorded an album with Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano under the name Vowel Movement.

Store Brand Instant. It's like the philosopher's stone of turning tepid tap water into shitty coffee right at your desk!

Dude!

My bad.

Fuck you, Judge. Sure, the news itself is boring as fuck (I mean, shouldn't we assume that everything made by Hollywood up to an including The Dark Knight Rises is on the table for a possible remake in the next couple of years?), but that opening paragraph was quite entertaining.

It is very altruistic of Beck's gold selling advertisers to part with their precious eternally valuable gold in exchange for our soon to defunct and worthless dollars.

Ah Twin Peaks
Revisiting Twin Peaks convinced me that the second season would be greatly enhanced by going through it and eliminating the horrifically stupid shit . . . specifically any moment that James Hurley is on screen. That gets rid of so much suck it's unbelievable. Get rid of the mayor banging teen witch…

Fuck it. I'll step up.
Why don't we all take a breath and calm down.

Speak the speech, Brother!

Something tells me that the esteemed my McSnarkerton is missing something here.
