Robots and Sunglasses

In which I shamelessly post in the style of This Recording…. I was watching Westworld (1973) a few weeks ago and a couple of images at the beginning of the movie struck me. Obviously, they’re the same guy/robot and the implication is that they’re both robot pilots guiding the unsuspecting tourists to their doom at [...]

For a Good Time, Twirl Your Camera

Anchors Aweigh On That Magazine Cover

Somehow the Peking appears to be sinking After hmm, 3 days of fallout from the New Yorker cover, Dowd today uses the opportunity to yet again call Obama an elitist for not having the required sense of humor to “get it.” Sure they could’ve reacted with a lighter touch but I’m mostly on the “what’s [...]

Turn Your TV and Your Computer Off

Bowling for basketball Josh weighs in the Golly Ralphie Show. The media talking heads are becoming such an embarrassment. They have no problem either making shit up or regurgitating whatever pap the campaigns dish out. (Obama’s is not quite innocent either.) They’ll call a five-point lead in a poll a “statistical dead heat”.  Sigh. Happy [...]

Dirt, Lights, Action, Noir

The lights are in but the cabinet is really dirty I watched a great trashy noir movie from 1949 last night called Jigsaw. This was obviously made by a bunch of beatnik proto dirty fucking hippies. (Watch it for free.) That should be enough to get what it’s about without giving the plot away although [...]
