it's a dance craze sweeping the nation with an accompanying 45rpm record

What if they wear it on their cock, though?

You know, it's gotta be rough following in the footsteps of a parent when said parent is really renowned for doing the same thing that you're trying to do with your own life.

I've heard that in the international toy business, there are essentially two categories: 1. everything else, and 2. Hello Kitty.

Two billion dollars. That's a lot of dollars.

My guess: 14 year-old suburban goth kids who really want to see violent vampire stuff but don't want to watch anything "old" (like, from before they were born).

"Big" and "rich" are just the two words that Trump moans to himself over and over as he rolls and flops around on his 100% Italian marble floors.

"So, I think we should work towards a kinder and more humane culture, where the most vulnerable creatures are treated with dignity and respect."

Well, while we're on the subject, why not take this chance to bask in the glory of Syd Mead's original concept art for Blade Runner?

But how do you know which movies have the most egregious product placement in history? I think I'm gonna have to look that up… on Bing.

I guess it's easy when you just start with an a priori sense of who the bad guys are and then just stuff everything into that model. If someone believes that Jews are evil and control everything, and this belief is at the core of all their other beliefs, then every narrative can be interpreted as such. Like, oh, this…

'Bama! 'Bama and the Je-e-ws!

I was with you until you got to YouTube stars (which would include people who seem basically sweet and harmless) and hip-hop fans (which would probably include most young people on Earth).

The last time I felt so ashamed of Western civilization was when Winston Churchill did that VH1 reality-dating show, Taking 'em to Church.

I agree that it's both. Trump may have a comically outsized need for personal validation and self-aggrandizement, but he's also a shrewd media manipulator who knows how to speak to peoples' base instincts and how to shift media optics in his favor. After decades in the public eye, he's figured out how to make those…

No joke, this news is really heartening for me. I shoot still photos on film (and occasionally some motion picture film, but not too often because that stuff's expensive as fuck); slide/reversal film is my favorite in general, and Ektachrome is my favorite film stock. I mean, I know the world is going to hell and all,…

The problem with Kodachrome is (as the article sort-of mentioned) that it requires a special, proprietary processing method, while Ektachrome can be processed with the relatively more-common E6 process. In order to bring back Kodachrome they'd have to also establish labs that can process the stuff, but there are…

Netscape Navigator? Fuck that shit! A! O! L!

Haven't watched the video, but my understanding is that there's actually a subtle-but-measurable bias towards lighter skin tones that can be found throughout the history of photographic film; basically there were certain standards that developed around how to properly light and shoot an image, and those standards were…

Promotional consideration by… The Fuck. The Fuck: It's not just crazy, it's The Fuck crazy.
