I would've looked it up but the iPod autocorrected to "headcheese," and I immediately abandoned my search in revulsion.

That limey cocksucker.

My short answer would be that people aren't standing up to oppose large corporations because we exist in a paradigm wherein corporations underwrite most facets of our existence. Many of the destructive effects of the corporation (as a genus) are side effects of their capacity to support and prolong the lives of far…

Well now I have an urge to watch phantasm dubbed into French. Thanks a lot.

Whoa, new year's eve is a shameless yay-fest? Like scarface?

But m:i2 spawned the worlds greatest soundtrack album, featuring that awful Metallica song with the tie-in video where they are diving out of the way of fireballs, and a cover of the mission impossible theme by limp bizkit. Not to mention, as per my earlier post, wall to wall motor vehicle explosions. Could there have…

I remember seeing the second mission impossible as a teenager and laughing my ass off at the sheer volume of car explosions. Like, every single scene seemed to involve cars exploding. I seem to remember a tanker truck hitting a motorcycle and both exploding, though it's been ten years, so I've probably over sold the…

I picture brad bird reading this script and saying, "of course I can direct mission impossible. I'm brad fucking bird."

Isn't that just like a wap, bringing a Durst to a korn fight.

It's best not to try accounting for Tweens. They possess a unique combination of absolutely retarded priorities and willingness to compromise. If riding in a car or listening to korn becomes a priority, it's okay if the korn procurer is greasy or the car smells like mustard and is driven by a fat racist (ahhh,…

I preferred its original title: Billy and the clonosaurus.

While examining factual anything in a show like American horror story is a fool's errand, I'm especially struck by the fact that he is referred to as a psychiatrist even though he practices like a psychologist (lots of long conversations, relatively little pharmacotherapy, plenty of talk about the therapeutic…

Give me a minute, guys, and I'll whip up a quick villanelle. (or would it be a villainelle?)

Oh Harley, who can help me fight the bat,
If you view me in adversarial light?
Oh Harley, when you speak to me like that
I shoot the nearest thug within my sight.

Harley and joker:
Who is wielding the gun, and
Who is getting shot?

Thanks for ruining my childhood love of poorly edited fight sequences lit entirely by eye-searing blacklight, Joel Schumacher, to say nothing of Alicia silverstone's fake latex nipples.

Isnt that just like a wap, bringing a mamet to a cody fight. Look, buddy, if you're cold, stamp your feet. If I learned one thing in thirty years walkin a beat, it's that.

She and Sarah vowell were both on letterman the same week or two maybe six or seven years ago, when vowell was promoting assassination vacation and Cody was promoting a memoir about strippin, ie before either one was big. Those were two of the most charming interviews I've seen, and that seems to be a trend.

I was definitely impressed by Harry potter and the deathly hallows, which (spoiler alert) actually had a more horrifying "main character bites off a prostitute's nipple and swallows" scene than American psycho. However, American psycho's "rat in vagina" chapter was way better than the similar scene in Bridget jones:…

Seriously. There are a few things I can't stand in a performing group of any kind, among them: framing your own work around matrix (or family guy) references; talking shit in a dull, repetitive cadence and calling it "rapping"; and any reference to a band member being an artist/writer/novelist/other sucky, pretentious…
