And so Ive landed.
Man. Sometimes things just are too tempting to not take a photo of.
MANBORG.
REVENGE IS BACK 2010
i mean, jesus christ. there’s a point to which you have to stop, grab your friend in the rubber pig mask and say, “Enough."
of course, that point is normally when one runs out of enough vodka and diet coke.
This is the official song for Zebraman 2. The singer/actress also plays the lead villain, “Zebra Queen."
In other words, Lady Gaga must become a tokusatsu villain.
“The name Gordon Gekko intentionally suggests a lizard-like nature. A cold-bloodedness.”
Next time, Terrence. Next time.
Kind of like a Clarence Williams III type of a character. You have no idea who that is, do you? →
The best line from any interview with Kenan Thompson ever.
Things I Own I Would Like To Sell or Give Away
It goes without saying that you would rather get something for free than pay for it. Therefore, I will strike you a deal.
If you are not in Los Angeles, you can buy it.
If you are in Los Angeles, I will give it to you for free. And if you figure out some ingenious way to scam me out of a few dollars so you may get this thing for free, may I suggest to you this place, where you can go exercise your new-found genius at.
Things (Electronics)
-My Playstation 2
It comes with a memory card and controller. It doubles as a DVD player. It was even a sought-after item around 2000. It can now be yours.
Games (PS2):
- The Matrix: Path of Neo: this is actually a fun game. no matter how hard you try, it deviates into hitting the square button constantly and then pressing R1 and Triangle to avoid everything.
- Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction all the joy of blowing up things in North Korea, none of the guilt or fear of living through world war 3.
- Max Payne/Max Payne 2 these two games are a package deal and incredibly better than the Mark Whalberg movie that managed to deviate from a simple plot. Also, there are references to Twin Peaks. So it’s like playing a video game that is influenced by David Lynch and John Woo, which makes you ironically cool.
- Soul Calibur II you can play as a dude from Tekken.
- Guitar Hero/Guitar Hero II you’d get a guitar out of it, too.
- God of War II in case you want to play it in order before the third game.
- Kingdom Hearts II in which you can force Donald Duck and Goofy to kill things.
- Robot Alchemic Drive is an awesome game that is perfect for anyone you know that loves Gigantor or Japanese giant robot shows.
- Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams …was ok.
- Devil May Cry 3 is highly replayable.
- The Punisher is actually a lot of fun and one of the more decent “comic" video games. It also involves feeding people to piranhas.
- Metal Gear Solid 3 is an incredible game.
- Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3. I really don’t know why I own this. It was an impulse buy.

Confirmed for Iron Man 3. Trust me, I’m posting photoshops on the Internet. Why would I lie?
“What an effing neanderthal statement, Mike!”
The season finale to our brief return to the land of milk, honey and Brooklyn Lager.
We’re joined by special guests Dan Sallitt and the Self-Styled Siren to go over auteurist backsliding, the generational gap that gets inspired by directors like Akira Kurosawa and eventually it all ties back into Avatar.

So, Adventure Time is in fact the continuation of Superjail!
Discuss.
I was back in New York for the Tribeca Film Festival. This was a ruse.
I mainly meant to come back to go drinking at Grassroots Tavern. That means drinking a lot of Brooklyn Lager, occasionally sitting at the bar near those older regulars who hunch over the corner of the bar near the front door and doing a podcast about film.
Our guests include Andrew Grant, Preston Miller and Akiva Gottleib (who is the Alejandro Adams of Twitter.)
Out topics include:
- How The Human Centipede opens a larger question about mainstream acceptance of genre and why some genre elitist pricks (i.e. me, sometimes) don’t get to be an elitist prick.
- Why panels about independent distribution using social media isn’t helping, despite it being championed by certain film news sites and places like Kickstarter and Indie Go Go.
- Why mumblecore is a dirty word.
- Baby-fucking.
- Why I should never try to tell a story about the time I went to a cocktail party,had a diet coke and felt really awkward at SXSW.
- And finally: why drinking and doing a podcast out of a bar is pretty great. It also goes on for an hour. You’ll thank yourself for listening to this, you’ll learn a thing or two and then you’ll never want to actually make a film ever again.
Fact: The 4 is the cleanest of the subway trains.
You know, calling something Joe Dante’s The Hole has a certain tone to it.
Calling something The Hole in 3D really makes me wonder why I’d watch something that includes three very confused children who clearly are looking at something far beyond their youthful imaginations.
In 3D.

Oh Union Square
Walking toward a pair of Greenpeace folks. The one staring me down looks defeated. I shake my head no as I get closer.
Greenpeace Guy: I fucking hate my job.
Me: I don’t have a job.
Greenpeace Guy: Oh, sorry. Good luck, bro.
Scene.
“A woman on the street stopped and attempted to begin an argument: “Why are you doing this?” A swift reply: “Because we have grown tired of rape and makeup.” The woman responds: “Just get drunk and get laid — deal with it.” But this is no longer enough for us.”
via the manifesto written by the bored women who probably once took a gender studies class at Pratt and decided the best way to take back the streets was by smashing a bubble tea shop’s window.
no. really.
“I hadn’t thought of that. So, yes! I intended to do that.”
Shinya Tsukamoto during today’s roundtable for Tetsuo: The Bullet Man. Look for that remark in at least nine other reports from the room.
In response to a kind of lengthy question of mine regarding the nature of this third “Tetsuo," which can be inferred from another answer he gave. Of course, probably not even what he intended, so at least I can write a theory piece on it without objection.
