Finishers: April 2009As promised, this post contains everything: the good, the “ehh” and the wtf?!? Let’s start with the good stuff…there are a LOT of finishers to get through. In fact, this is a little out of hand. Lemme know what you think in the comments. The Black and the Blonde #2, Scene 2 starring Brittaney This is the perfect way to edit a scene: fucking, then cross-dissolve right to the finish. It doesn’t take 3 minutes of desperate cock-stroking, it just happens and it’s a great one. Continue reading

Potpourri PostI am contemplating deleting my blog. For good. A blog is like a dog. Left to lie dormant without the love and attention of its owner, it is bound to die a slow, isolated death. I haven't been doing a whole lot lately. I've been working part time so that has allowed me to make more time for my friends. I've actually been returning people's phone calls for a change! I've also been reading (I KNOW, seriously! I'm reading one of Barack Obama's right now) and shopping entirely too much, so that has Continue reading
Book Vs. FilmFROM THE ONION'S BOOK VS. FILM COLUMN "Given how often books get turned into films for the wrong reasons—say, because the book is popular enough to guarantee an audience, even if the adaptation is crap, or because a filmmaker can see a couple of elements worth strip-mining out of the book while rendering the rest of the story unrecognizable—adaptations like Paranoid Park are always pleasant surprises. It’s pretty clear why Gus Van Sant made a film version of the young-adult novel Paranoid Pa Continue reading
The Best Ad Campaign in Human History Bumped and Updated: Even More Goofing on Jessica Valenti, Plus a Riff —Ace NSFW. Let's get that out of the way from the get-go. If I have this right from tipster JimM, this commercial for Fleggaard (a Danish e-commerce firm) contemplates ginning up interest by running ads featuring scantily-clad buxom women and puppies. Not quite safe for work, as they do more than contemplate it. They do a "what if" sort of thing. Then I guess they decided the campaign was conceptually sound and went ahead and did an ad featuring dozens of nude skydivers. I didn't notice any Continue reading
Lissie I knew Lissie last year when I was looking for some news from Nettwerk, then I added her to my myspace’s friend list. No one else, knows how hard could be the long process of recognition for a young woman in music industry, Lissie does ! Her story could be like a novel like a fusion of Salinger, Voltaire, and Blume, with a rock and roll paperback thrown in for good measure. It starts with an expulsion, it includes a command performance at a surreal celebrity wedding, it reveals a blithe spir Continue reading
