You’ll have gathered from the title that I am spared the irony of blogging how I gave up internetting by the fact that I am just as much on the drip as ever I was. I thought I was going to get to do that ironical thing, though. Four years ago I had a fight [...]

The Late Whatsit
In all seriousness, I’ve had such a great time writing for this blog every month and reading all of the wonderful posts that you’ve all written. I haven’t met the majority of you, but feel like I know you all so well. I really hope this stays alive, but it’s been a great time if [...]
When all else fails
My head is empty. There is no blogfodder therein. And of course, these days, one is allowed to sigh and shrug and let it go, but what I’ll do instead is…opera! Don’t watch if you’re not in the mood.

2011 in Movies!
2011 has thus far been a pretty terrible year for film. It set the record for the most sequels at 27, the highest since 2003 (23). It was also the year that Werner Herzog, Justin Bieber and Martin Scorsese embraced the third dimension, Adam Sandler dressed in drag and Shakespeare was reenacted by animated gnomes. [...]
Better late than really super ultra late
Yes of course of course. One is thankful for those things. Family, friends, roof over head. And by disparaging that shit, I do not mean to disparage that shit. But as the holiday looms, I am going to try to sidestep the numb recitation of compulsory gratitude and think of some minor, perhaps idiotic things [...]
