Click the "in the dark" tag in any movie-concerned entry and you will promptly see all my movie reviews. It's a feature Bunkosquad had years ago but, with all due respect to the hardworking lj wizards, we can't all be Bunkosquad ( Read more... ) -
Why the Fuck Wasn't This On the Front Page of the New York Times?
But what I really wanted to say.
Man Gets Life Under Fetal Protection Law
(06-06) 20:58 PDT Lufkin, Texas (AP)--A 19-year-old accused of causing his teenage girlfriend to miscarry two fetuses by stepping on her stomach was convicted Monday of two counts of murder ( Read more... ) -
We're Here, We're Queer, We're Used to It
Happy Pride, everybody. I intend to spend it celebrating Asian-American commercial culture in Chinatown and then in the Kam Man mall in Quincy, and then possibly viewing the cinematic event of the season, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." Here are some other movies I'm looking forward to.- "Last Days." I don't care what anyone says about it-Michael Pitt is so ( Read more... )

Don't Leave Me
Dan (I can call him that, can't I?) wrote recently about the campaign to ban Bay Windows by the Article 8 Alliance. I responded:
The most degenerate thing anyone with any sense could see in Bay Windows is their epidemic of typos and garbled syntax. I know SRV is trying to raise the level and she's succeeding bit by bit, but she hasn't gotten ( Read more... ) -
A Mon Humble Avis
I'm really sad that Dan Kennedy is leaving the Phoenix. (So are 20 other people as of 8:27 P.M. tonight.) I would also like to say that I am sincerely pissed off that Kristen Lombardi left us and went off to NYC to write for the Village Voice. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love New York town more than anything. In fact, your faithful if erratic ( Read more... ) -
Mister Negativity
Leaving the castle this morning, I glanced down and saw a copy of the Globe on the doorstep, lying face up, with the headline
Sox Lack Look of Champions in Opener.
The byline of the article was not visible. Said I to myself, "I bet if I turn that paper over, I will see the name D--- S---." (Dash craze!) So I turned the paper over . . . and you ( Read more... ) -

In the Temple of the Automatic Markdown
On the way home from Chinatown, I stopped in Filene's Basement. Sometimes I feel I'm living a Bloomsian nightmare of belatedness (I'm bullshitting you, I've never read any Harold Bloom), in which I perpetually move to towns five years too late. Shortly after I got to Austin, the Bazaar became Finagle a Bagel; not long after my arrival in Boston, ( Read more... ) -
America Sees Opportunity, Eats Young
Onlookers Repelled
Though it had taken on just a touch of the flat, stale and unprofitable, I wasn't quite ready to lower the boom on the New York Times, but now I shall have to. I think I need to go on a news blackout at least until Opening Day. It won't be easy, what with streaming Eklektikos at work and compulsively listening to Mark & Mark ( Read more... )
