the IDIOT

fellow connoisseurs of the feminine aspect should have a look at Whip It — perhaps better titled Tosser’s Paradise.

i’ve figured for decades that standard video will eventually be 360° post-controllable. here’s a damned impressive internet demo of the format.

on the audio side, here’s the type of demisemi-analogous microphone donna summer used to record her vocals on Another Place and Time.

magic.

contrary to the foolishness of paulists and other psychotic poltroons, any year-spanning dollar comparison not adjusted for material debasement is deficient.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Film box offices were poised on Wednesday to eclipse 2007’s record $9.68 billion in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales with Hollywood eyeing more than $10 billion this year as audiences flocked to theaters during the recession. [...]

oh wow!

modern movies have largely become a joke of “how many layers of ‘twist’?” Think i have it down to a simple method now, made easier if you’re watching via medium that tells you how much time’s remaining. (more…)

at a party last spring i had the good fortune of running into a woman who hipped me to tina fey. had noticed TF on SNL now and then, but hadn’t seen her enough to get around those repellent poser glasses. party woman, no average dullard, told me that tina fey was smart, and that Mean Girls was a good movie. despite her feyish glasses — easier to ignore in conversation — the advice was noted.

so i got Mean Girls, pronouncing it worth multiple views (i like lindsay lohan, but my favorite is lizzy caplan’s bitchin’ lehhhhhhzbian janis ian). then i found 30 Rock and was officially smitten for life, fey’s horrendously ignorant political views notwithstanding.

what red-blooded american boy doesn’t admire ron jeremy, ultimate disgusting pig porn star with the kickass personality (labeled “the thinking man’s porn star” by adam carolla)? Time magazine interview promoting his recent book. (more…)

c’mon, is that, like, the best movie title ever?

if this movie’s so bad (as many assert), how come just the trailer had me laughing harder than just about anything in the last week? i give you…

lest you think — perhaps based on knee-jerkery such as this preposterous article by asshole gennady stolyarov — that WALL·E must be avoided by anyone who values truth, i assure you it’s a fun beautiful movie for which a case can easily be made it’s far more pro-liberty than pro-envirowack. surprisingly, stolyarov’s getting his article somewhat shoved up his ass through mises blog comments. good show.

i’d long heard of Barbarella, but didn’t give it a spin until recently (on the heartfelt if somewhat melancholy recommendation of jay mohr’s character in the sadly ignored blitzkrieg sitcom Action, with illeana douglas). lord god almighty, what a spankfest. if you’d rather see a beautiful woman’s face than porn, this is the porn for you. fonda is indescribably sultry and perfect in this, and even were i some retarded vietnam warmonger brat, i’d be tempted to yell out an orgasmic, “all’s forgiven, lass! all’s forgiven.” (more…)

i dig adam carolla, but he’s damned annoying in that his logic seems to be stuck at a few notches above standard dipshit. he regularly rants against “government”, accurately using the word communism to describe PBS, for example. he correctly screams that public libraries are pieces of shit that should be abolished, but what does he recommend doing with the empty buildings? convert to state building inspection and DMV offices. he’s stuck, a born statist.

his logic fails as well when it concerns his projects. listeners to his radio show heard for weeks that his movie The Hammer got phenomenal ratings at rottentomatoes.com. when others point out to him that one cannot compare even semi-accurately the ratings of a mainstream movie against his basically unreleased movie seen primarily by fans, he counters with the assurance that hey, his fans never hesitate to set him straight; they’re the first to downgrade his work when deserved.

iTunes has this very short movie (16 min) for free right now (iTunes link). Cutlass is written and directed by kate hudson, starring my longtime honey virginia madsen (you may remember from the opening to david lynch’s Dune), dakota fanning (emerging from her somewhat achingly/overly cute kid period), kristen stewart (looks good blond), and the writer/director’s stepdad kurt russell.
