turnabout replied to your photo: ALSO CONTAINS BRILLIANCE. (Taken with instagram)

OMG HOW IS IT?!?!?!?!?! (Also, how was the lighting. I know the LD.)

It was SO GOOD. True to the Bring It On spirit, the rap/hip-hop elements worked really, really well, and fuck yeah real basket tosses and lifts. Lighting and stage design were strong as well. I am SO MAD that the soundtrack isn’t available yet.

Extremely Thin Girl 1: Oh, can I get a bottle of [unnamed beverage]?
Extremely Thin Girl 2: That has so many calories in it.
Extremely Thin Girl 1: No it doesn't. I drink, like, three a day.
Extremely Thin Girl 2: [looks at bottle] It has 70 calories.
Extremely Thin Girl 1: Whatever. Your body needs at least 1,200 calories a day before it starts eating itself.
Extremely Thin Girl 2: Whatever. I want that.
Extremely Thin Girl 1: No, you don't. That's like muscle and stuff.
Extremely Thin Girl 2: Seriously, I want that.
Extremely Thin Girl 1: [as she exits, to the clerk] Have a nice day!

If I ever get around to doing stand-up...

…the cornerstone of my routine will be an epic-length rant about how much I hate the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “His Way.” Because I hate it. I hate it so fucking much. SO MUCH HATE. Inside me. FLAMES ON THE SIDES OF MY FACE. Seriously.

(I’m totally watching it right now. If you couldn’t tell. UGH SO MAD.)

PEOPLE ARE GONNA WATCH THIS.

by Liz Miller

Nothing kills me in a horror film like the details. Endless CGI wastelands are not nearly so heartbreaking as a half-burned photograph of a family vacation, or a beheaded teddy bear waiting for the return of the child who loved it. Intimate…

Here are a bunch of my thoughts about the still-fascinating-to-me “Cloverfield,” if you’re interested.

An #UndeadPride Interview with Reginald van der Schmidt, Zombie

Q: Introduce yourself to the #UndeadPride audience.
A: I am Reginald van der Schmidt. I belong to the subculture crassly referred to by outsiders as "zombie."
Q: What’s it like for you to get by in a majority-human world?
A: Difficult, but manageable. For the fact that I am undead does not mean I cannot LIVE. Yes, I now must go to extreme measures to sample the pleasures I took for granted, prior to my "transformation." For example, in the days before, I would settle for any seat at the opera, but I find now that a private box best accommodates my needs.
Q: Anything else you struggle with?
A: Well, to sample the culinary revolution currently occurring in Los Angeles, I must rely largely upon delivery services. And my palate has suffered in recent years -- I find myself generally preferring less sophisticated fare than before. However, I now find nuance in a rare steak that might previously have escaped me. And I have replaced my devotion to exotic Pinots with quite the fondness for sweatbreads. Sourcing organic calves’ pancreas is no easy feat, but when achieved... Delicious.
Q: What does Undead Pride mean to you?
A: It means this -- understanding. I simply wish to be understood, like any being who has shuffled across this earth. For, of all the misfortune my condition has brought me, the most profoundly upsetting fact is this: I am still looked at with disgust by my fellow men. And yes, I am still a man -- my passions have shifted, my organs have ceased to function, but the evil curse of a voodoo priest has had no effect upon the basic facts that determine my identity.
Q: Do you identify as Undead or do you prefer a different term?
A: Yes, I identify as undead, but only so that others might understand that one's living status does not affect them as an entity.
Q: What would you say to someone who is newly-Undead?
A: If you have recently joined our ranks, do not be embarrassed by your new state of being. The same principles should guide both the living and the dead: Accept your shortcomings whilst embracing your strengths. The only way for us to know true equality is through daily action and activism. We must not allow casual references to the undead being subhuman to exist! This is why I am in full support of Undead Pride Day -- because it is time for our voices to be heard on this matter, and for the living to understand that we are no different from--
[Interview note: van der Schmidt's left pinky finger has just fallen off.]
A: Oh. Dear. My apologies.

“Well the tighty whitey reigns supreme. It still lives on. When I saw that in the script in “Breaking Bad,” I brought it to Vince Gilligan and pointed out that I wore it for seven years on “Malcolm” and he said, “Oh forget it go find something else.” So I started going through wardrobe and while I was doing that, I realized that when he had Walt in tighty whitey, he did it for a reason. It meant something and I wanted to get to that root of that. I chose tighty whitey’s on “Malcolm” because… A grown man in tighty whiteys, wearing them is funny. You put him in boxers and it’s just not funny. So that was an easy choice. But for “Breaking Bad” it was harder. I had to ask, why would a grown man wear a boy’s underwear? Hal wore them because he always wore them and it never occurred to him to wear anything else. He’s still a boy. Walter White wore them because he stopped growing. The underwear became indicative of Walter White’s stunted growth. He just stopped caring. Hal wouldn’t think of wearing any thing else. With Walt it’s an I-don’t-care thing. An I’m-too-depressed-to-think-beyond-that thing. Too depressed to think about what I’m more comfortable wearing. He’s given up.” —Bryan Cranston has some strong opinions about underpants.

Didn’t write all that much this weekend, words-wise, but did finish two things that had been totally kicking my ass. Now: TV and a drink.
