Or, "'Heart of Darkness' Wasn't Racist At All"

I love Civilian, but that was an astonishingly dull video, with lip syncing so non-committal that it was just distracting. I did, however, enjoy seeing Jenn's boobs jiggle ever so slightly during a few shots. But that's because I'm a horrible person.

Well look how often Whitman revised Leaves of Grass. And, of course, that wasn't really that unprecedented either. Of course, at this point, everyone reads the original Song of Myself, because it's just better. 50 years from now, the revisions will be a curiosity of the films (if they're still around).

Lucas is planning on constructing a giant magnetic just so he can erase all the VHS versions of his movies. He's going to drive around the country and point it out the window.

Yeah, I mean I agree that the fight was pretty cool LOOKING, but I really don't understand how you can say that you always loved Darth Maul as a character, nor do I get how you can call him over the top.

Zone by Mathias Enard
I just finished Zone by Mathias Enard and felt precisely this way about it. I'll admit that I was probably too taken in by the hype surrounding it's "single sentence," and was just continually annoyed with critics for trumpeting that "accomplishment" when it's complete bullshit. It's really a…

My favorite scene with Anyong comes directly after this. Lucille says "Besides I'm going to Anyong's soccer awards ceremony—
Anyong: "Anyong"

Drunk Tales
Once I walked into the apartment below mine. Thankfully it was empty (and unlocked?), which, for a brief moment, was tremendously distressing. Oh my God! Someone broke into my apartment on the third floor and stole absolutely every single item I own! And cleaned! Wait… that doesn't make any sense.

Unfortunately, the new releases on Criterion are about as exciting to me as they've been for a couple years now. I'm not exactly sure what I'd like them to put out, I just know it's nothing in that list.

At least the marketing person didn't say disseminate.

Oh
It took me longer than it probably should have to realize that that promo video was a mishmash of different songs on the album rather than one surprsingly bizarre song.

I kind of figure Graham just got stuck with the awkward MasterChef product line spokesperson job. I can just see a meeting where Fox execs propose this new marketing push and Gordon and Joe are just say, "yeah, I'm not doing that," with their arms crossed before Graham even realizes what's going on.

STDs
It's odd that they didn't explicitly mention that STD that Leisure Suit Larry can get in the first game that makes his penis explode.

Hopefully the Das Racist will do a similar marketing thing for this as Negativeland did for U2: that is design a cover implying it's a Michael Jackson song called "Das Racist." I don't really think there's a possibility for that type of intentional confusion in this world of metadata, though.

The best part, or most terrifying part, of the lake scene is that despite it being set up as, perhaps, a robbery, you know its going to turn violent despite the fact that the couple is basically doing everything right. So you get this horrible sinking feeling of being trapped, confined and confused. Its one thing to…

I remember the epilogue mentioning Harry becoming an auror rather distinctly because it was one of my biggest disappointments with the epilogue (along with its mere existence).

Considering it's Genesis P-Orridge, I'm pretty sure, yes, they could find a creepier photo.
