That's kind of fun.

I liked There Will be Blood when it was called Batteries Not Included.

I liked Magnolia when it was called Short Cuts…just kidding Magnolia is better than Short Cuts but it definitely borrows heavily.

This week on "Old Men Who Look Like Lesbians"….

Spice merchant is essentially Hedonism Bot in my mind.

Gaybies for Obama '12.

But what will she wear when she enters the hurt locker?

What purpose would making a smartass comment on an internet comment board have, except to waste time that could be spent being productive?

I happen to think School of Rock is a masterpiece. It once pulled me out of a very overwhelming acid trip because it is a very genuine love letter to the power of rock and roll. But that's a story for another day…

I'm not gonna do a huge list but off of the top of my head:
-The White Stripes
-Grizzly Bear
-LCD Soundsystem
-Sufjan Stevens
-MGMT
-The Strokes
-Arcade Fire
-The Shins
-Fleet Foxes
-TV on the Radio

I almost want the Republicans to win the presidency. The Bush years gave us No Country for Old Men and some of the best music since the late 60's/early 70's. The Clinton years gave us Shakespeare in Love and Limp Bizkit.

I kind of want to go to a Limp Bizkit show as an anthropological study in "Who the fuck thinks to themselves that they really miss music from the late nineties?"

I tried so hard to like The Fall that I watched it twice. It's exactly the type of movie I should love but the story is just so lifeless. I felt nothing for any of the characters because they didn't seem to feel anything either. It is visually breathtaking though and the story of its making is very cool as well.

"Visually striking, even when it works on no other levels"
So it's like every other Tarsem movie.

2007 will go down as maybe the greatest year in movies ever. Those three you mentioned, Michael Clayton, The Lives of Others, Juno (backlash be damned, it's a great movie), Ratatouille, Zodiac, The Bourne Ultimatum (best action movie of the '00s), Eastern Promises, Knocked Up, The Wind that Shakes the Barley,

I went to The Creator's Project in my hometown of San Francisco. They showed the LCD Soundsystem doc, had gigantic art installations, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed, James Murphy did a DJ set, there was a room made up entirely of videos of David Bowie and it was free! So, basically, it was my own personal heaven on

I had heard they were awful live but I got free tickets to see them in a smaller venue and I hopped on them. And it was the single best rap show I have ever seen, by leaps and bounds. When they did "M.E.T.H.O.D. Man", Method Man walked on the crowds' hands out into the middle of the entire venue. He then tore the roof

Will Ferrell as Robert Goulet on Conan O'Brien might be the single funniest thing ever. He shows up assuming that he's on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, calling Conan "Johnny" the whole time and it fucking kills me. Conan has never been so completely stumped as to what's going on.
"You and me Johnny, just like

Eddie Murphy is my favorite Irish comedian.

Getting ripped and watching Through the Wormhole with my roommates is one of my favorite pastimes. The episode about the concept of god caused multiple "whooooa, no way man. Far out!" moments.
We're working on making our own God Helmet (right now it's some magnets hooked up to sombrero).
