Well, not really. I wish he was really back, because he’s been gone for quite some time now and proper return is long overdue, but let’s say he’s about one third of the way back (I guess?). Unfortunately it probably will never get any better than this, so enjoy it while you can: Going Through [...]
Incase you were worried, I have not yet stopped sucking Godard’s d*** In fact, I recently discovered my favorite film of his yet, so go learn yourself if you haven’t already:
Incase all the “mixed reviews” surrounding Scorsese’s new film Shutter Island have left you ambivalent about whether or not to see it, let me make things more simple for you (assuming you trust the impeccable taste of this blog): go see the movie, soon. It is not the best Scorsese has done, but a captivating [...]

“Blakroc? That sounds like an unmitigated disaster!” No, child. Cool out for a minute. Like lead track “Coochie” ft. Ludacris and ODB, the Blakroc project is a consistently fascinating and pleasant surprise. It bangs, it mumbles, it shimmers, and when it all comes together (as on the aforementioned “Coochie” and the should-have-been-on-The New Danger compressed [...]
1. I am not politically correct. I thought Crash was a piece of shit, Babel even more so. I understand movies that want to present a particular slice of life or worldview–this is, after all, what you do anytime you aim the camera anywhere. But to make a film called New York, I Love You [...]
Though it’s been nearly a month since Inglourious Basterds came out, I only got around to seeing it this weekend. I was not disappointed. While people I trust dearly on matters of film have felt conflicted about the film, I loved it almost unconditionally. Politics and ultra-mega-fantastical revisionist history aside, this is a fantastically crafted [...]
I was just checking out Grooveshark and immediately got hooked. Between the simple search format and the playlist function I’m all set.
My friend Enrico (FridgeMag.it) just launched a beautiful new fashion, art and lifestyle site: Contemporary Standard. In a world where blogs are a dime-a-dozen, you have to focus on more than just content to set yours apart from the many. The well thought out design work and functionality of Contemporary Standard really helps it to [...]
My mind is about to explode. I told Alex that I really wanted to lose 40 pounds and become a wraith-like stick just so I could wear this stupid guy’s neo-goth, post-apocalyptic shit. The new Julius collection makes me hate fashion. A lot. Because it makes me fear getting old, makes me fear those days [...]
I usually associate this term with Sharon Stone in Paul Verhoeven’s Basic Instinct (1992), but this Vogue Germany shoot is really, really dope, with elegant black and white styling. That movie sucks, by the way. Just thought I would throw that out there. From VOGUE GERMANY August 2009, by way of COUTE QUE COUTE. Shot [...]
Jen and I went up to 57th street after work today to check out the opening of Burk Uzzl’s new exhibit, Woodstock: 40th Anniversary. I was immediately intrigued when I heard about the show because I’ve always had an inner-longing to exist in the sixties, if even for a week, and enjoy my dose of [...]
I saw Rosemary’s Baby for the first time last week. Terrifying. Further proof that nothing scares a man like a pregnant woman. Throw it on your netflix, your bittorrent, or however you get movies, and be amazed at how a nice Jewish couple, pregnancy, and New York in the 1960s can be scarier than two [...]
Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Valentino: The Last Emperor and it was truly outstanding. Valentino, portrayed in the film as the last existing original haute couture designer, is such an interesting and entertaining person to watch and study. It is almost as if he lives in his own encapsulated delusion, exisitng today [...]
