Toughen Up
12.07.08 | Permalink | 3 commentsThe New Republic really is the peak of “liberal” mediocrity. Let’s be frank for a moment and state flat out that the people who are faithfully pouring over the pages of TNR are not likely to be paying much attention to Zizek; so a hit piece on him which teeters on some of his feverish [...]

The Joker Is Me
I really had only been meaning to foist this on Johanna because she would appreciate it most of all, but anybody who I’m friends with can’t be far off:
American media made one of their awful versions of a brilliant sit com because they just constantly want to treat us like they’re dealing with lobotomized assholes, [...] -

Indeed There Are
Reading this Newsweek epic on the election, which is oddly micro in some places and phenomenally out of focus in others, and found a Sarah Palin slideshow with this gem which I will keep with me forever:

The Icy Finger of Arrant Bankruptcy
11.18.08 | Permalink | 2 commentsDebord is probably what every reasonably privileged suburban 16 year old needs to ornately articulate her own righteous indignation at what “goddamn phonies” all of her peers are, but he loses his charm pretty fast once you realize what a pack of condescending grumps the situationists were. And yet, in times of crushing existential heartache, [...]

Ginger Snaps
A few months ago, my dad and I hung out and watched this film. We were both really psyched on it because it’s probably the best movie about teen girls of all time. Um, my dad’s appreciation was pure, mostly.
That first line in the clip above? That’s my life story.
Courtesy of the internet, you can [...] -

Homebody
I realized today that almost all of my favorite films are about the psychosis of small spaces.

YAY COLONIALISM
Some images are really powerful because they have the ability to communicate all of Western history, like this one:

Teen Rag Speak
I can’t believe that I have pierced ears for the first time in over ten years, and I can’t believe David Foster Wallace hung himself.
Here are puppies being sung to sleep.
My friend Gabi and I are working on launching a plus-size fashion blog, and while, ahem, researching, I found this post where 20 fashion bloggers [...] -

Why So Serious?
So the other day, I stuffed myself into a van with some other people and went to see The Dark Knight at the drive-in. One friend noted that you miss the sound of the Joker’s lips when it’s coming out of a car stereo.
I thought it was totally awesome, although in a bizarre way, and [...] -

Mass DELEUZEians
I was pondering all the terminally uncool squares out there on the internet earlier (“Courtney Love is the widow yeah. And while she’s thought of as a villein by a lot of people out there, she’s really a very gifted artist.”), and was reminded of this cultural artifact from a while ago:My friend Paul twisted [...]

An Alright Guy
I don’t think I paid Robert Evans very much mind until a ~*lover*~ of mine dropped his name with some considerable admiration. Not long after, I ended up coming across a stack of old Playboys from the 70’s at a garage sale. I struck honey gold. This magazine was delivered to me like I was [...]

a little lavander
The most annoying thing about being sort of obsessed with overthinking every media fragment that comes at you is how at times, you sort of lose sight of what life is and what it can be, and then what it looks like on film. Which is a pain in the ass when you’re watching a [...]

what have you done for me lately?
Poor Rip Torn. First, he has to endure some wacky pascifist broad in a white nightgown crying his ear off, which, incidentally Norman Mailer had just tried to bite the fuck off seconds before in some supermasculine fight they errupted into, and now some d-bag in Ohio uses his mugshot in a PSA about [...]

A Graceful Descent
On my list of top ten things in the world, ever (the ten, in this circumstance, may or may not be raised to the power of 50) is when somebody drops you a little tipoff in the direction of something they know was put on this earth especially for you. The other day, I received [...]
