are you not entertained?

Posting that Megan Fox near-nudey pic was the best move I ever made for this site.  For a while there, we were averaging over 1,000 hits a day.  Easily.  Clearing 2k sometimes.  Of course, they were all baited in by my literacy genius.
Or just the Megan Fox pic.
It’s kind of sad, really.  2,000 people used [...]

He just wants some MILK!!!
(And to think, I just had Steve from Blue’s Clues and everyone’s favorite neutrosexual purple dino.)

scariest movie ever?

Unsure what to think.
I’d like to believe the hype.  And the hype is definitely out there.  Variety calls Paranormal Activity “unnerving.”  Film Threat says it will make you change the way you think about modern horror.  Bloody-Disgusting says “it’s one of the scariest movies of all time” and your psyche “will [...]

tickle to the beat.

Holy shit.
Once in a while, something comes along so funny that you injure yourself laughing.  This is one of those occasions.
Now that you understand, from watching that commercial, where this concept comes from, you will be highly encouraged to click over to the product’s official website: Tickle Hands.com.  Yeah, I thought [...]

kanye west, drama queen.

Wait, so now ‘Ye is sorry?
He wrote, “I feel like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.”
(Which is a much more [...]

thoughts on ‘true blood’ s2 finale.

True Blood has solidly been one of my favorite television series for the past few years.  But I was hesitant going into the season two finale, especially after the promising second season of also-great Breaking Bad scored an epic fail.
So how did the season two finale tie together a promising season of True Blood?  Was [...]

kanye west is a tool.

I mean, seriously…
I refer back to his blog post following his slaughtering on South Park:

I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT [...]

the coup.

I guess it’s only fitting that I stumble across some accessible material from the Oaktown-based rap/funk duo on 9/11.
If you don’t know the story, Boots Riley and DJ Pam the Funktress had created the above album cover for their 2001 album Party Music.  It was scheduled to be released shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist [...]

jared mees and the grown children.

Okay I felt bad about rambling on the last post.  So here’s some music.  At the expense of me waking up at 8am.
These tracks come from Jared Mees & The Grown Children.  They remind me of Neutral Milk Hotel somewhat.  Folk rock-pop.  Bop.  Hop?  Stop.  Good stuff.  Scratch that, really good stuff.  And now you [...]

tonight on sick, sad world.

Here’s how this works.
I’m first going to refer you to a new favorite site – The Weekly Vice – which is sort of like an offshoot of The Smoking Gun.  Except Weekly Vice is far more opinionated and often constructed around some of the lesser genetic building blocks of humanity.  Always an interesting read just [...]
