My in flight movie this past weekend was Fracture, which sucked. But I don’t want to talk about that. I’m still repressing it. Before the movie, the Ebert & Roeper review of the film was aired…and they panned it. Well Roeper did anyway. John Mellancamp, the guest host, thought it was good, but he doesn’t exactly [...] From the brilliant folk at MIT, City Cars: One of the proposed designs for dense urban areas is a stackable car for two passengers. Vehicle Stacks are located throughout the city to create an urban transportation network that takes advantage of existing infrastructure such as subway and bus lines. From the nearly-as-brilliant folks at DMC, Time Machines: Duke: The lights are growing dim Otto. I know a life of crime has led me to this sorry fate, and yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am. Repo Man is really underrated. This being choreographed Thriller-dancing at wedding. Thriller was before my time (child of ’84), and I have a hard time reconciling that video’s Michael Jackson with his current popular representations. That said, I’m a sucker for a plot, it’s a pretty clever video, and I’m glad 30-somethings have this to bond over. However, if my generation [...] Marry Me has been getting a lot of play in my apartment, so I’m happy to see St. Vincent get a good review from the LAist. I like most any old-sad-bastard music, but these tunes are something special. My wife took me to see St. Vincent play last summer at the Hotel Cafe, and we [...] I think Greif’s paper, discussed in the previous post, inadvertently revealed the big flaw in nuclear families: they cannot provide security. Once upon a time, possibly in the postwar period (or is this too a myth?) it was possible for middle class white men to have a high income, dependable job. They would [...] While thinking about band names, I happened upon this directory, which explains the source of various band names. Some excerpts: Steely Dan: taken from William Burrough’s book Naked Lunch. In it Steely Dan is the nickname given to a giant steam-powered dildo (see cover photo on their first album) Cheap Trick they say the band members asked a [...] While we’re talking about Minnesota, I wanted to plug a band name that some clever Twin Cities foursome should take up: sotaspeak Maybe it’s not that clever, but it’s certainly better than calling yourself Anthrax because it sounds hardcore. So I don’t normally follow trivial Hollywood uh…trivia, but this post at LAist about Lindsay Lohan’s not-so-secret plan to bed David Beckham and win $50,000 was the weirdest thing I read all day, and comes complete with what may be the funniest post title ever. The whole story makes a lot more sense if [...] |
