  3. That last post was so bad even I stopped coming here.

    That last post was so bad even I stopped coming here.

  4. I watched Home Alone in a movie theater today.

    Still holds up. Here are my stray observations:

    • Kevins mother is very concerned with the amount of milk in her home.
       
    • Based on Little Nero Pizzas delivery in 20-minutes or less or its free policy, they must have a very small delivery radius.
       
    • Kevins dad tells him to pick up his micro machines because his aunt nearly broke her neck. Pretty good foreshadowing, right there.
       
    • I had the same sheets as the ones on the bed in the attic. 
       
    • During the storm montage, the camera cuts to the front door and abruptly zooms in on the Santa Claus head at the center of their wreath. It is very jarring.
       
    • The van driver who the kid across the street keeps bothering is the Chicagoiest guy. Best character in the film.
       
    • Second best character is Kevins Uncle. We learn that he loves the song Cool Jerk in the next film, which only strengthens this argument.
       
    • They get a lot of mileage out of that one scene of Angel with Filthy Souls they filmed.
       
    • I wonder if the b.b. gun was included as an homage to A CHRISTMAS STORY (Clark, 1983).
       
    • Why did the McCallisters have a doggy door in their kitchen? That thing was nowhere near insulated enough.
       
    • When Kevin buys a pizza, it costs less than $12.
       
    • I wonder how much Buzzs life savings were. Between that pizza and the groceries he bought, Kevin spent less than $20 the whole movie.      
       
    • When hes at the grocery store, Kevin asks the cashier if those microwave dinners are any good. She says she doesnt know because I guess they were still a new thing at that time.
       
    • I really wonder how they got both of those grocery bags to break at the same time.
       
    • When Kevin makes his Kraft macaroni and cheese in the microwave, it is prepared in a Styrofoam container.  1990 and 2012 are very different.
       
    • Kevin never even gets to eat said microwaveable Kraft macaroni and cheese.
       
    • That one line in Rockin Around the Christmas Tree sounds like shes saying later well have some fuckin pie.
       
    • Any version of White Christmas other than the one in this movie is worthless.
       
    • When this film was made, it was entirely plausible to trade things for a plane ticket at the gate. 
       
    • The entire theater, myself included, inexplicably found Jimmy Stweart speking French to be hilarious.
       
    • R.I.P. John Candy
       
    • Im guessing they didnt tell U-Haul that they intended on riding in the back of that truck.
       
    • The nail looked like the most painful trap.
       
    • Even still, Id say Joe Pesci probably went through more shit than Daniel Stern.
       
    • Daniel Stern looks kind of like Aaron Paul.
       
    • This might be the only movie with a tarantula reaction shot.
       
    • How long was the old man watching before he decided to intervene? Seems like he cut it pretty close.
       
    • I think thats about enough.

  5. Now what are roaches supposed to eat after the Apocalypse?

  6. It’s been awhile since I’ve submitted a shirt to Threadless, but I’ve got one up for scoring now.
Maybe you should vote for it. You should probably vote for it.

  7. In 1973, Paul Simon released his second album, “There Goes Rhymin’ Simon.” The lead single was called “Kodachrome” and included the lyric “Everything looks worse in black and wh
ite.”In 1991, Paul Simon performed a free concert in Central Park in front of an estimated (at one point) crowd of 600,000. But when he performed that same song, the lyric was changed to “Everything looks better in black and white.”So what happened over the course of 18 years? Is it a statement on nostalgia? How during his youth he was focused on living in the moment, absorbing every detail around him?Are black and white photographs a metaphor for looking at the past? Could he be acknowledging that as an older man, he understands that even bad experiences can be looked at in a positive light? A strange twist on the concept of rose-colored glasses? That everything that happens to us becomes part of who we are and we remember things as we want to see them rather than how they actually happened?Or is it just hard to remember decades worth of stolen song lyrics?

  13. I feel like I shouldn’t like Charles Bukowski, but then I go and read something like this:

    “back to the machine gun”

    I awaken about noon and go out to get the mail
    in my old torn bathrobe.
    I’m hung over
    hair down in my eyes
    barefoot
    gingerly walking on the small sharp rocks
    in my path
    still afraid of pain behind my four-day beard. 

    the young housewife next door shakes a rug
    out of her window and sees me:
    “hello, Hank!” 

    god damn! it’s almost like being shot in the ass
    with a .22 

    “hello,” I say
    gathering up my Visa card bill, my Pennysaver coupons,
    a Dept. of Water and Power past-due notice,
    a letter from the mortgage people
    plus a demand from the Weed Abatement Department
    giving me 30 days to clean up my act. 

    I mince back again over the small sharp rocks
    thinking, maybe I’d better write something tonight,
    they all seem
    to be closing in. 

    there’s only one way to handle those motherfuckers. 

    the night harness races will have to wait.

He aged pretty well.
