TErrible awful movie.

This weekend IFC had on "IFC shorts".
I tuned in as they were showing, http://theclimacticdeathofdarkninja.com/ The Climactic Death of Dark Ninja.

This movie is by far the WORST student film/short I had ever seen in my life. I wish I had the 13 minutes back. After the first minute I kept on telling myself, it's on TV, surely this has to go somewhere! Now keep in mind, I went to art school and have seen some of the most horrible films (some of which I helped produce), none could match this.
It wasn't quirky, cute or ironic or funny. It was stupid. Watching it you can tell there was definitely some money spent on the production. The audio didn't match the kids lips most of the time. The dialogue was pitiful. The direction was making me dizzy.

So I was actually pissed off afterwards. I went online and found that this short had actually won some awards, one of them for BEST AUDIO. Maybe this can be the next Michael Bay, or Brett Ratner or

I wish my Dad never took me to a Met game 22 years ago

Fuck this team

How can you slap?

LoL. Poor Ebert.

Welcome to Israeli airport security, Alvin Ailey. Now the world knows. Why was it important for the AP to point out that Israeli security detained an "African American"? Are they trying to say that the guy was stopped on account of his skin color, rather than his first name, "Abdur-Rahim?" In any case, the most interesting development in this story is that Jackson is engaged to a Jewish woman. A straight dancer? Yeah, and pigs with lipsticks fly.

Hello, Dollface

Misogyny rears its ugly head again the form of the Sarah Palin doll. I wonder if anyone is mass-producing an Obama doll wearing a turban or a McCain doll complete with meat hook and water board in a Hanoi Hilton environment.

O-Ba-Ma!

So the hullabaloo is over. The Republican conventioneers packed up the tents and ten-gallon hats, deflated the balloons, and gone back to the oil rigs and rodeo barns. Sarah Palin is back in Alaska to take lamaze with her pregnant 17-year-old and her husband-to-be husband. Track Palin is snorting coke off some prom queen's thighs in preparation for deployment to Iraq. Joe Biden is making cripples walk and McCain is turning proverbs into gaffes. Let the games begin!
