I watch Faux News Meta Ironically. I'm sarcastically lampooning the glib hipster counter culture mock cynical quasi retro… damn, where was I going with this?

Years ago I was fascinated by the spectacle of the show, how society seemed to be little more than an inchoate primordial swamp, a writhing mass of dysfuntion and illiterate howling. But then I realized I was watching C-Span. Waka waka.

Sorry, I dropped my lead crystal tumbler of 21year old Balvenie and have been weeping violently. Luckily it was nearly all consumed, but the tumbler was worth about $25. That'll teach me to try to be too sophisticated.

The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 is exceptionally wonderful at $45, and the DoubleWood 17 is exquisite, but it's $120+. Ridiculous.

The question is how does one choose to channel that aggression. It's possible to creatively sculpt your aggression into a magnificent towering monument to primal human experience… or some such psychobabble.

You think you're at a party? That explains the your deluded perceptions. Dude, this is the interwebs. President Al Gore invented it just so we'd all have a place to rant like lunatics without disturbing the passersby. Seriously…

Bullshit?! Now you've really stepped in it. Time Travel is the most commonly mishandled topic in fiction. The absolute, utter impossibility of time travel—despite what your Spidey Sense is telling you—places it firmly in the realm of satire, but nearly all depictions are conducted with such earnest, solemn sincerity.…

I randomly made it that. Well, Snidely did, but I picked up on that particular point. I was in Barnes and Noble recently scanning the new fiction and it's a vast wasteland of pitifully trite idiocy. Seriously, the shit most people read is a parade of vacuous juvenile junk food, and other such mixed metaphors.

Pacifism MIGHT be an admirable virtue. We don't really know, do we? Have we ever witnessed a society devoid of aggression, or is that just a complete utter denial of basic human nature, which it seems is exactly the point of most Christian doctrine, to undermine independent thought by demonizing basic human impulses.…

Some fiction—a fractionally small percentage—is worthwhile, but the overwhelming vast majority of it, especially most newer modern fiction, is not worth the paper upon which it's printed. If you want to defend the mass of derivative, imitative, unoriginal hackery as valuable, well that's a sad, tragic thing.

Your ready acceptance of even the notion of a God is the problem. If I allow for the possibility of a magical God then all bets are off, we've entered the realm of fantasy, and therefor anything and everything is possible. The story and film then loses all relevance to reality and is merely an exercise in frivolous…

The fasinating aspect of religious or faith based fiction is the unexpected and often startling insights into the nature of power and its abuse. It seems the Vatican is an unqualified expert on the subject of coersion and its application in a myriad ingenious and insidious ways.

I'll be there with bells on!

Have fun storming the castle!

Sux to be Walmart.

This news goes to -11.

Finest American director out there—even though he hasn't made an actual film in 8 years, easily, no contest, don't get me started—is David Lynch. His last cinematic creation, INLAND EMPIRE, so completely, utterly surpases and overshadows everything produced since—if not everything preceeding it for 4 decades—it's…

It worked both ways for me. At times I was distracted by the inexorable mental image of Scarlett's voluptuous physique tauntingly dancing in my helpless mind, and other times I was comforted by her husky cooing.

Her is a very clever and stylish bit of entertainment, but it suffers from considerable lapses of logic and a glaring plot hole. I won't bore you with a lengthy critique, but I'll just point out the fact that since the program was relatively popular with many thousands of users why didn't we see a single other smitten…

2 1/2 Men did this first with the little idiot kid that grew into a mature, sophisticated religious clown.
