283
At any time you can end this, 283 You can pull the e-brake A t-slide into the dark side, 283 Deeper into it we skate the shiny reflectors slalom markers A black diamond course for a cursed caravan Am I too close, 283? Tell me I’m having too much fun give me written notice A stern talking to A summons Or are you as afraid of stopping of the man who waits at the bottom of this run I think I...
$1000 REWARD
I had a photo taken in May, 2006 with about a dozen Bloods gang members.
The location was Downtown Disney at Disney World, Florida.
I will pay 1000 dollars for this picture.
ABOUT THE CONTEXT:
This was back at the apex of the largely unreported Disney Gang Wars in which Bloods would gather at Downtown Disney West Side at the entrance to Pleasure Island and the Crips would congregate in the...
Time Magazine buys Detroit house →
Time Magazine bought a house in Detroit’s West Village to headquarter journalists chronicling the collapse of the city.
I’m thinking of buying the house next door so I can observe and report on the collapse of Time Magazine.
But seriously, Time has the right idea: it’s important to watch Detroit closely. When the riots begin in Detroit, buy silver, rice and ammo fast.

IS THIS REAL LIFE?
Redemption in a Big Box
The size of the building and hours of operation are the advertisement. It’s big. Huge. The hugest. And it’s available every hour of the day and night. Make no mistake— the store is a temple. Sometimes I go there to get my life in order 4am pilgrimages with a changepurse full of doves. More ubiquitous than Catholic tabernacles More sterile than an ER It calls for me and I follow. Tonight...
Why Roger Ebert has yet to earn my respect
There are the poorly written reviews. There are the bad calls. There are the videos of him bickering with Gene Siskel.
Then there’s this: a 2001 review of “Pootie Tang,” one of the most important metacomedies in that it singularly closed the conversation on blaxploitation cinema once and for all.
Outside of parody, it stands on its own as obvious high-level humor but all...
14 minute "Gathering of the Juggalos" commercial...
Being “the most misunderstood people of all time” has never been so profitable in all time. The horrible cue card reading and polished graphics make this commercial for the festival look like a late night parody.
ps. To avoid sounding like I find the Juggalo movement and popularity inexplicable I want to say that I have been proclaiming its brilliance since high school.. but I...
Back to the Future split screen [video]
Back to the Future Part II opens with the closing scene of the first movie. Besides being a cool transition into a sequel, Michael J Fox aged and Elisabeth Shue was new to the role of Jennifer, so the scene was completely reshot to reframe the characters. It’s about time somebody matched up both scenes.
