Its apparently actually cobbled together from like a four-hour Russian documentary series and Herzog just condensed and re-narrated it. The best part is how meticulously it follows some of the processes that the trappers go through in their day-to-day work. And Herzog being Herzog he waxes poetic at some length about…

Infinite Jest also describes it at length.

Even though I actually do like "Let It Go" I don't understand the fervor surrounding that movie. Like.. it was ok. That's it.

Watched American Hustle. Didn't know Amy Adams could be that sexy, didn't know Jennifer Lawrence could be that run-down-looking, didn't know Christian Bale could be that fat.

ok so I found the one thing ever said on the internet about a foreign name that *wasn't* racist and managed to attempt a takedown of it. What are the odds?

"oh shit, a word I haven't seen before! I don't have the skills to deal with that kind of thing! oh shit its a NAME! and it sounds FOREIGN! time to panic and make a dick joke!"

I can postulate a reason why grammatical tags should correlate with popularity (though I am spitballing here and haven't looked at any research): books even moreso than other media rely on word-of-mouth advertising. If we assume that certain grammatical tendencies make a piece of text easy to read (which seems…

Today I learned that there exists a fan of Avenged Sevenfold who is also somehow a fan of Key & Peele who post hilariously stupid shit all the fucking time.s

Otachi (SPOILERS FOR PACIFIC RIM) spreading its wings, "Pacific Rim". For a dumb action movie (that maybe isn't as dumb as some people think), that shot really nails home how fucking scary the kaiju are. Pacific Rim gets much of its tension from clear and pretty much internally consistent rules for how the kaiju…

I have suddenly become very confused as to whether the Descendents misspelled the name of their band.

I love that you used the same picture again, even though it probably means people will assume its the old one and not click on it (which I almost did until I read the headline).
