Uh, seriously, what's the point of this crap? You got three people to record the media they consume for a week, and that's it? No analysis, no larger sample size? What the hell.
I could get better information on freaking myspace. Thank you so much, fruity New York publication.

Sometime last week, someone in one of my classes brought in Cars, the newish Pixar movie. So I put it on, for us to look at while they worked and while I went around to help people out. My students seemed to generally think it was cute, but my constant complaints of 'What the crap was that?!' and 'Are we supposed to think this is funny?' and 'Who ( Read more... )

"Watching Clerks 2 is like watching a 6-year-old girl who is dressed like a fairy princess throw up for two hours. She is throwing up on her favorite teddy bear, and you can't do anything about it."

Oh, Mr. Rowland, why you gotta be so awesome?

Boy, it sure is great that Cartoon Network's programming is branching out to include such 'live-action' gems as Cats & Dogs. I really appreciate the thought and strategy behind the backing of one of 2001's finest films. I mean, even the movie's website is just glowing with skill and dignity ( Read more... )

We had a particularly awesome thanksgiving, with no stinking family and no canned waxy beans or football (even though a boy should watch it). We drove over to 343 & unpleasant's, trying our best to ignore the mysterious and unhelpful 'check engine' light, and cooked a bunch of stuff and watched a bunch of stuff and played a bunch of stuff and ( Read more... )

Schwa linked to a freely-available extra-long clip of Scanner Darkly (the first 24 minutes, including don't-copy message fore and aft). So of course I had to sit through it. I don't really see a lot of promise, esp given nick's capsule review. At the very end of the 24 minutes it was sort of getting snappy, but before that the pacing was sort of ( Read more... )

Oh, gamer demographic. We have you SO FIGURED OUT. What? All the ingredients are there, aren't they? Dude, just buy the product. It is aimed at you. We did research. (From hereI almost kind of like the cynicism implied in the 'assembly line' concept, but I somehow don't quite think it's the fun kind of cynicism. I think it is the contemptuous ( Read more... )

My brother was the lucky recipient of the jacket I found on ebay that was worn by some filthy extra in Battlefield Earth (ten bucks american). He says:
I tried the jacket on while still smelling of Psychlos... ewww. At first I thought I had it on inside out, but unfortunately, that's the way it was made. I couldn't find out who wore it, ( Read more... )

Thanks to the prodding of 343, I hunted up this wayback machined version of mari-chan's site, back when she solicited names for her characters. This shit is a goldmine for terrordada, although all my favorites are from a couple of years before. Okay, maybe a goldmine in the sense that good stuff is really few and far between, but occasionally ( Read more... )

Brrrring, brrrring, this is the burn ward! We're calling to tell you that the unpleasant-looking Wayans cartoon admitted earlier today is stable, but its burns are quite serious.

Quote from the article lunk from cartoonbrew:
the Wayans brothers most-recent film project, "White Chicks," featured co-writers Shawn and Marlon as race-swapping, ( Read more... )
