THIS IS REALLY PERSONAL AND IMPORTANT TO ME

Back in 1986 my uncles made a movie. Here's some clips from it.

(via Videogum, like always)

HERE'S THE THING ABOUT ME

I always assume that I'll have it figured out in the future. Like, when I look ahead to this fall or winter, I imagine myself having "gotten it." Boy is that never true!

(yet!)

SEHR BRUNO

Oh cripes. Is that what John Norris looks like now? Cripes.

MORE LIKE "CLASSY" AL

Seriously.

TERRIBLY SAD

It's weird and awful, but when I found out about Michael Jackson I was watching "Death in Venice." And reading Kafka's "A Hunger Artist." I hope that doesn't sound like some weird joke, because it's true.

Also, I'm never going to get my Captain Eo shirt now.

WALTZ WITH BASHIR

I'm watching "Waltz with Bashir"* with the commentary, and Ari Folman, the filmmaker, keeps talking about the censored US "TV version." What? Is he making a joke, or they really preparing to show an animated documentary about the 1982 invasion of Lebanon on TNT, right after "King of Queens" or "Family Bro"? The only TV channels I could imagine showing this are HBO, IFC, and Sundance, and I've seen tons of uncensored shit on each of them.

*Oddly, I got this from Netflix on the day it came out. Either my MontgoCo fellow-Jews are really falling down on the job or Netflix read my blogplaint.

WHY

No thanks. I'm good.

EERILY APPROPRIATE

You can't spell my name without "i," "me," or "ass."

I'M NOT WORTHY

What a piece of shit garbage I am. Iranians are dying in the streets of Tehran NOW for their freedom, scientists are creating green technologies so people might feel like it's worth it to bother having children, and then there are the real hero-geniuses of the world who took Keyboard Cat to level n-zenith:



MOTHERFUCK. 2009 is one of those years when everything changes.

MORE-AM ORAM & MEETEN

These guys are awesome. And, like Tom Meeten('s character(?)), I also enjoy reading X-Men comics and eating small cakes when I'm high.

(that's more true than not, actually)

It's only me. It's only ever been me.

MATTHEW & TONE

Tale 1:



Tale 2:



Two (really excellent) short films by Steve Oram and Tom Meeten (Oram & Meeten).

A NEW 'UN

I started a new blog called The Boring. Check it out if you feel like making your eyes tear up and go cross.

ESPECIALLY ME!

I have a test coming up soon that I am not looking forward to, so when I went to mark it on my calendar, I wrote, in green Sharpie, "COOL TEST." I am fooling everybody!

FAIRWEATHER FRIEND

I was going through my old iTunes playlists and I found one called "hot jamz" filled with nothing but John Cale, Joy Division, and Pavement. I am funny.

I had forgotten how much I loved this. SNL in middle school was an embarrassment of riches.

Cats have sinister eyes.
