the San Francisco treat. toot toot.
Nike can buy people out left n right (remember REVOLUTION playing while some jock dances his sport dance in 200 dollar shoes?), but Hummer’s image is still a bit TOO identifiable with all that is stupefyingly opulent in the world. hah. Is it time to revisit FUH? when is it not???
Looks like his role in “Bamboozled” has got him thinkin… I honestly dunno what to say bout this… Is he trying to co-opt the word and reclaim it commercially (a possible stunt to test the limits of trademark?) or is he just being a complete whore. I mean, i dunno how i’d feel seeing this emblazoned on somones jumpsuit- or shiny sequened shirt. Either way i tend to lean towards what most Af. Am. academics say bout the word… but i’ll leave it at that.
two snaps and a Z formation
Ok. so perhaps a lil history first… This film documents the “first Asian Am Porn for Asian Am’s” directed by Darrell Hamamoto and of course, interviews a smattering of famous Asian Ams… which brings us to the interesting (not really) part… The pron director also happens to be a professor i had for many a class in college… yes. and he hated me. but that’s beside the point. Last i recall it was supposed to be named like “Yellowcaust” (no joke) but he renamed to the call-the-censors title “Skin on Skin” (couldnt that be like me n’ you doin the kid n’ play with ankle sox on?)
Regardless of how rediculous this may be. His essays/published work are actually pretty interesting reads. (albiet, those on the right might not groove with that…wtf are you doin here anyways?!) Either way i jsut wanted to mention it. It is ooooold, but some alumni recently spammed me the site again.. and the sheer audacity of the project obviously got this guy alotta fall out from the main stream media.. hell the daily show had a skit with him in it…
Apparently the superbowl was good for something after all (besides satisfying all you machismo oozing ppls thirst for big men in tights. ok jk jk. really.) But apparently “V for Vendetta” has a new intense superbowl attentionspan patronizing trailer… The newest warchowski brothers’ (ahem. siblings) movie looks to be another dark n brooding stylefest. but alas the ORIGINAL writer of this visionary tale (considering it was written in 1980’s) Alan Moore has gone to extensive lengths to be DISassociated with this multimillion dollar endevor… That bodes ill for “V” purists- but we shall see if the movie is able to sit on its own laurels.
and for those who’ve never heard of the catchphrase above - its part of a folk song alluding to the infamous “Gunpowder Plot and Treason” executed by none other than the catholics and okay’d by the jesuits (yes the same ones taht taught me in hs…) and the pope himself back in the early 17th century.
if anxiety over concoting a bestselling title was the #1 thing keeping you from that foray into a literary career (or in the more likely event that you just need a fun time-killing diversion), the lulu titlescorer let’s you plug in potential titles from which it generates a statistical prognosis of success.
that being said, with 69-72% chances of being my ticket to easy street, I’m going to excuse myself now and get started on writing Hucklebee Cracker-egg, Moustachetown!, and The Wangs of Chaos.
Has any one kept up with the production of Factory Girl? If not, basically it’s the story of Edie Sedgwick, one of Andy Warhol’s Superstars. Rich New York girl, unloved, has issues, does drugs, dies and in the mean time between all that hangs out with a couple of the lasting personalities from the 20th century, ie Warhol (duh) and Bob Dylan ( who supposedly wrote a famous about her ).
Originally Katie Holmes was meant to play the part, but that was vetoed down by her scientologist boyfriend. The role quickly became associated with the likes of Gwen Stefani, but ultimately wound up with Sienna Miller. (Dear Randy, you know we would have watched the Gwen Stefani version with the same glee we saw Blade. Drunk and maniacally laughing.)
Honestly, I love Warhol, the Velvet Underground and even the sweet horror of too much kitsch… But the concoction that is currently called “Factory Girl” scares me quite a bit, especially since it’s written by man named Captain Mauzner, has Guy Pierce as Andy Warhol (WTF), a role (IN GENERAL) for Jimmy Fallon and the Velvet Underground portrayed by members of the band Weezer (SACRILEGE & EEEWWWW). I really cannot believe that Brian Bell from Weezer said, “If your music has steered too far from the aesthetic of the Velvet Underground you have to ask yourself, ‘What the hell am I trying to do?’” How is that for unintentional hipster irony….
If I were Lou Reed, I still would have said, “They’re all a bunch of whores.”
hey all. i know it’s still a ways away, but if anyone wants to know how nick cage looks like as ghost rider, flaming skull and all, here he is in all his penance staring infernal glory. also available, cheeky fun with the phrase burn(ing?) rubber

Just some lovely words from everyone’s favourite “I would have been stripper if my parents weren’t rich” kid.
