Beanie Behavior

| 0 comments |

Unless you're going for that urban look, really - don't bother. The purpose of a beanie is to give off a recluse expressive dynamic. If you are, you must be willing to dip your feet into the never-ending juice of disappointment for bitterness and pompous strive for victory over "all those who trespass against you." In other words, let your personality speak, not your beanie.

The Ubiquitous Scarf Look

Paired with skinny jeans and fluffy, under-sized jackets, you can immediately transform into an acceptable hipster within seconds.

Somebody Once Asked Me a Fashion Question

And to be quite frank, I haven't the slightest idea as to how fashion works - how things somehow string together to create, "a look" or how models manage to stay so goddamn skinny all the time. It makes completely no sense to me, but since I promised to give it my best, the next few days are going to be filled with absolutely nothing but unadulterated fashion tangents with terrible descriptions. So enjoy, if you can.

Mission Sexy No Jutsu Apartment Makeover

Epic combo breaker: dark floors, white chairs and walls, and lots of windows. Unless you're totally against dusting the floors every once in a while, this one's kind of a no brainer. Photos from Houzz.

New iPhone To Be Slippery, Like Bar Soap

Something tells me all this hub-bub is just going to blow up into a big circle jerk of disappointment. So I'm just going to stop visiting technology sites for the next few months. Perhaps turning off this Twitter thing might do me some good, too...

Hello Auckland, New Zealand. Who would've thought you had this up your sleeves? Quite impressive, to say the least.

Praising BANKSY Is A Crime

Because some dark forces out there believe all your ideas and beliefs belong in nothing but your Moleskin notebook. Which should be burned after reading, of course.

Burn After Reading Review

| 0 comments |

Like with all Coen brother movies, the movie is geared towards adults, with adult themes in adult situations. And like many of their previous movies, namely Fargo, it starts off extremely slow and then builds up into a 500 mph clusterfrack that's both unpredictable and humorous. Though there were times it felt a bit forced and rambly, the cast performs quite well with the odd-ball material. Anyway, compared to the dry trash Hollywood seems to throw out left and right these days, some may even consider this piece brilliant in comparison. Though worthy of repetitive watches? Nope, you'll feel like burning it after watching. 7.8/10.

Role Models Review

| 0 comments |

I was a bit reluctant to give this one a chance. Especially after the Tropic Thunder fiasco the other night, I was afraid I'd be greeted with another hollow piece of cotton candy with nothing to offer. Fortunately, that is not the case at all with Role Models. While not epic in any sense, it does have enough substance, a great cast, and a decent story that manages to keep the laughs coming well into the movie. 8.0/10.

Tropic Thunder Review

This is a great example of exactly why I don't like Ben Stiller. It's one of those movies where you're thinking to yourself throughout the whole movie, "Man, who the hell pitched this movie? Who the hell produced this?" Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. Sure, there are a few giggles and guffaws here and there, but Tropic Thunder can never quite make up its mind about what it is. Is it satire or slapstick? It tries for both but achieves neither. Mostly it's just a lot of crude humor and hammed-up bluster. You can get a better show watching late night stand-up on Comedy Central. 6.3/10.

Heavenly Sword Review

With production values like MGS4 and gameplay nearly identical to the God of War series, what could go wrong? Well, many things. Things like terrible SIXAXIS controls for weapon manuvuering sections, repeatitive enemies coming wave after wave, and the fact that you start off having the same weapon from beginning to end - with combos that make little to no sense - yeah, things can go wrong. Fortunately, some pretty graphics, decent pacing, and excellent voice acting was just enough to keep me going until the end. Very much rent-worthy, indeed. 7.5/10.

I think it's the big glasses that's doing it for me. Big. Huge. Ridiculously over-sized glasses.
