Seek This Out:
I just finished it. What an alarming, powerful experience.
I’m sure it will not be heavily available, but when it’s released on Tuesday, try to find it.

For as big as this guy is, his mouth seems to be rather small…
With that being said - I still have no doubt that he can get the job done here.

For some reason, this is among the top 4 in my personal collection…

It’s sad that this guy not only asked someone to take a snapshot of this for him, but that it was also probably the most talked about happening of his week.
Oh, and he’s wearing a wedding band.
I feel sorry for you, Madeleine.

Is it more ridiculous that this actually got made…
…or that I watched the trailer for it with giddy reminiscent feelings of the teenage years when I worshiped the original installment, which in turn made me anticipate the day of this one’s release in theaters?
I know. There’s no excuse for such blasphemous behavior.

13th Annual Fergy Film Awards - NOMINEES
In a last-second decision, I chose to cut the selections in each category from ten down to five. This will be the first year since starting the FFA’s that I will not be spreading the love as much. Some would argue that there is still plenty of content, though. You decide…

The Films That Surprised Me (for the better) in...
I finally managed to complete my compilation that is the 13th annual Fergy Film Awards nominations. One thing is for sure: it’s another massive collection this year. Somehow I manage to always outdo myself with the length of the nominees and categories. One category that I left out of the nominations is the films that surprised me - in a positive way - in 2010. What made me not want to post...
chloespot asked: I'm delighted to know that you're on Team Donatello as well. It must be the Aries thing again.

Incredible. A complete walk-thru on how to correctly be a “boot-tucker”. The fact that this exists is equal parts laugh-inducing and frustrating - also baffling, inexplicably stupid, ignorant, and sheepish.
It’s idiotic enough that this kind of stuff festers out to millions and...

I bought this album on a $1.00 whim several years ago.
As you can probably tell, it’s been paying hilarity dividends ever since.
It features the classics “Chrome Kills”, “Adagio”, and “Green Cats”.

Val Kilmer really can reach new low depths within the bottomless shitpile his career has become.
Here is the front cover of his new, straight-to-video masterpiece….
He’s primed and ready for a starring role in the long-awaited sequel to Operation Dumbo Drop next.

Roger Ebert on "No Strings Attached"...
Natalie Portman is perhaps about to win an Academy Award for “Black Swan.” Why she helped produce this I cannot say. Ambitious actors usually do dreck like this in order to be able to afford to make a movie like “Black Swan.” All the same, she does what she can; she has an edge, aggressive timing, and impressive enthusiasm for sex romping. Of Ashton Kutcher, I have less to say. He...

13th Annual FFA. Really?
Yes, it’s already been that many years since I’ve begun compiling the “Fergy Film Awards”. Such a cheesy name, I know, but I started it as a freshman in high school and for the sake of keeping a tradition it’s still the same.
Since I don’t like to let it go much past January before I begin delivering my favorites in cinema over the past year, I will begin to...
tired-and-wired asked: ah, I've been quite obsessed with Mark lately... perfect music for morning coffee. and I must say that you have a great page and amazing taste in music!
chloespot asked: I have indeed been "Odd Blood"-ing it up. My musical soul mate recently sent me the record, and thanks to him I've been reminded how much I adore Yeasayer. You'll probably see me post almost every track from the album, slowly, over time. Get ready.

At the time of this film’s release…
circa 1996…
I was in the beginning, extra-curious stage of puberty…
Needless to say, after I found out that the movie certainly didn’t live up to the promise of this cover, I was FURIOUS.
So I rented Showgirls and that did the trick for a 13 year-old moron.

There was really a time when millions of Americans bought this person’s music.
Millions of people?!?!? Really!?!?!?
And apparently he was so successful that he deserved a greatest hits, “20th Century Masters” compilation release…
In-fucking-credible.
“The Thong Song” still baffles to this day.

Remember when Craig Kilborn had a career?
That was preposterous, no?
chloespot asked: I resent your unfollow comment. You can't say shit like that to an Aries. You've made this Aries moody.
But on a serious note, I had to vent my frustration toward the world's general bad taste in music. That top ten was more than I could take.

BLUE VALENTINE
I walked out of the theater just about an hour ago. The film was on my mind the entire way back home.
This story of love found, rushed into marriage, then ultimately put through a wringer, is about as assured a directorial debut by anyone over the last couple of years. Derek Cianfrance’s script was said to have gone through countless drafts before finally landing itself into production,...
