That’s what he had done with Alger Hiss.
I like to beat the rush for lines and do not prefer being late, but Gimlet fellated me instantly the instant she and Big and Mr. Wonderful picked me up in their used milk truck at my new home in Altadena, and I had an orgasm on Highway 210, and it felt very good, so Gimlet made me not mind being late in arriving or paying for the tickets, which were very expensive, even to see a Negro.
(Ooh, that’s a saucy one. But of literary value, for reals.)
Potato I have.

“The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.”

Okay, now I get it. Her entire career is one continuous riff on Rocky Horror.
Sorta. I think of her more as the Matthew Barney of pop stars, especially in light of her new video. Like Barney, she’s not really saying anything, but my god she’s spending a lot of money and art directing the fuck out of not saying anything. Which is about as much as we can expect of mainstream art at present.

Why is this about the only review I’ve read where the reviewer understands that the film is not a misogynistic screed? I’m not saying that von Trier himself is not a misogynist, but this movie has so much more going on.

Banks are Idiots
So, hey, just got a letter from Citibank saying that they’ve decided to change my credit card APR to 29.99% in order to “continue to provide our customers access to credit”. Way to fuck the economy, dudes. The government gave you money so YOU CAN LOAN IT TO CONSUMERS TO BUY SHIT. And it is really, really good business practice to fuck the people who (a)still have jobs (b) are most likely to continue to borrow money.Seriously, this is fucked. I have not missed payments or otherwise defaulted and my rate is being raised over 50%.
agreed. and considering the fun we’ve had with no real progress at even *suggesting* such a thing as health insurance reform, just imagine what’ll go down when we bring up equally necessary credit reform.

Short Film of the Day: We Were Once A Fairytale, the much-hyped Spike Jonze / Kanye West collaboration-slash-kinda sorta music video for “See You in My Nightmares,” which debuted at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June, has made its way online.
Two words: Rodent harakiri. Nuff said.

ok, so, I guess I like Kanye again? this is getting so confusing.
