bringing out the dead: scorsese can even make nicolas cage look good

holy fuck, this is a purdy flik. it’s kinda like watching the matrix, where you have to squint your eyes or just flat out pretend that fucking talent-suck keanu reeves has most certainly NOT been cast as the quasi-savior-esque “neo” just to somehow, some way,  enjoy it… ahem. scorsese rocks, despite fucking nicolas cage. filmsmithing.

go with god: chimay grande reserve

maybe it’s just me but after tasting this vonder-beer, i can only say: shave your head and pack your bags for belgium. these felonious monks have basically solved pi in beer form. good for what ale’s you-get thee to a monastery, bitchez.

old vines in the new world: m.j. keenan’s blood into wine

right off i’m gonna go ahead and highly recommend this doc because it is not made by that walmart/dud/scud of wine, the great homogenizer:  robert mondavi. anyhoo, i am as much into the holy concept of arizona bay as much as the next miscreant motherfucker and this doc does deliver, somehow, but damn, the momentum [...]

where do we come from? what are we? where are we going?: the urban cliff revolution by douglas larson et al

occasionally, in my darker moments, i look around at this urban death-maze/concrete prison we have built for ourselves and wonder what the fuck we were thinking to have made living so very unlivable. well it turns out that we are actually little more than what we have evolved into thanks to the (ongoing) undeniable influence [...]
