white ninja ruins essay writing.

oh man. THAT'S a gooder.

a little something about Tucker Carlson:

Formerly a staff writer at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, Carlson has been a columnist for New York Magazine and Reader's Digest. He has covered politics and disorder from around the world for dozens of magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, the Weekly Standard and the Wall Street Journal. He now writes for Esquire. His book, Politicians, Partisans and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News, was published in the fall of 2003.


Carlson attended Trinity College in Connecticut.

well HOLY SHIT!! good thing Reader's Digest snapped him up when they did. not to totally shit on Trinity College- i'm sure that's a totally respectible "small liberal arts school", i just found it funny that they left that little bit of information at the bottom, completely separate of everything else.

Director: Alan Zweig
Canada 2004, 90 min, Betacam SP

The last time we saw filmmaker Alan Zweig was in his documentary Vinyl, which used obsession and record collecting as metaphors for his search for the hidden truths of a life that seemed off the rails. Back on track with his latest film, Zweig is still collecting. This time he collects an entertaining cast of characters who share his sense of humour and willingness to dive into the subterranean world of negativity. This is not to say that all curmudgeons are negative, it's just that the "sickeningly positive types" sometimes perceive them that way. The film cleverly examines the risks of being a naysayer in a society continually pitching the positive. To make his point, Zweig interviews many of today’s most important curmudgeons: Harvey Pekar, Joe Queenan, Mark Eitzel, Fran Lebowitz, Bruce LaBruce, Andy Rooney, and many others.

Election
Director: Alexander Payne
USA 1999, 103 min, 35mm

Director Alexander (Sideways) Payne's second film takes the scandal and mudslinging associated with presidential elections and transposes them to a high school election for student council president in Nebraska with impossibly sharp, satirical results. Matthew Broderick, in a reversal of Ferris Bueller, plays Jim McAllister, a teacher who will stop at nothing to prevent perfect Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon), who is running unopposed, from winning the election. Jim, who bears a personal grudge against Tracy, goads a popular but dim football player into running against her. This spurs on a series of strange events, (both madcap and surprisingly sexual) which add up to an uncommonly funny high school film for grown ups.




For all of you that always wanted to see Neve Campbell get it on with another girl (OMG! i can't wait for this one)

When Will I Be Loved

19:00, Mon Jan 17
Director: James Toback
USA 2004, 81 min, 35mm

James Toback, a writer and director known for provocative explorations of race and gender relations in films such as Black and White and Two Guys and a Girl, has created a modern femme fatale in When Will I Be Loved. His leading lady is Vera (Neve Campbell) a beautiful young woman who is exploring the limits of her sexual and intellectual power. We see Vera picking up men on the street, videotaping her romps with a female lover, and having sexually frank discussions with her potential employer (hilariously played by director Toback). The daughter of wealthy and supportive parents, she is seemingly improvising her way through the beginning of her life as an adult, but how much of her behaviour is spontaneous and how much is cunningly calculated? Cameos by Damon Dash and Mike Tyson add a dose of humour to the cynical affair.

"Like a jazz solo that touches familiar themes on its way to a triumphant and unexpected conclusion." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones

Director: Jim Fields, Michael Gramaglia
USA 2003, 110 min, 35mm

Starting with the band's origins in Forest Hills, Queens, End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones gives a fascinating background portrait of the eccentric group of individuals who came together to be one of the most influential punk bands in history. This documentary about the New York City renegades, who made their mark in the mid-1970s with counterculture lyrics and underground performances at rundown joints like CBGB on the Bowery, shows how the band eventually earned the recognition they deserved. But it is the insider look at the blue-collar upbringing of the band members, and their desire to be part of Manhattan's burgeoning hard-rock scene, that is most endearing. Going to see contemporary acts like the New York Dolls and Iggy and the Stooges, the Ramones quickly created their own sound and practiced frenetically. When they finally made their debut with an extremely loud sound and furiously fast and short songs, they scared up the beginnings of a stalwart fan base.

"Ranks with Terry Zwigoff's Crumb as one of the most searing, disturbing and oddly celebratory depictions of popular artists ever committed to film." Ray Greene, Box Office Magazine


Plus Citizen Kane is playing sometime towards the end of this month, should be a goooooooder.

lookit this dumb shit that I had to stay up all night doing. FUCK. Adrian told me at midnight last night that the course material was due, and I hadn't done ANY of it. So I did all in one night. Well, maybe not all. You might notice that one of the sections unfortunately links to the wrong thing. Too bad that wasn't an accident... I just didn't finish that section. haha FUCK IT.

Andy- where's your page at? How'd yours turn out? EDIT 435 4 LIFE MUTHFUKKAS!!!

okay, here's a test.

Carolyn Parrish on CNN against, your fave and mine, Tucker Carlson:

CARLSON: My only point is as a matter of trade, Canada is far more dependent on the U.S. than the U.S. is on Canada. That's simply a fact, again, not even a value judgment. But of course the United States needs a good relationship with Canada and I suspect it will always have one unless some separatist government comes to power and the country splits into two, which is always possible. But short of that, no, absolutely the countries will remain allies and there will always be politicians who see it to their benefit to stomp on Bush dolls. But no, I don't think the average Canadian feels -- the average Canadian is busy dogsledding. You know that.

PARRISH: That is such -- that's such a caricature and you have to understand from this lowly backbencher that shouldn't even be on your show, I am of total insignificance within my own party and within the country, you're sure putting up a lot of fuss and putting a lot of attention on this. It shows a very weak ego, in my opinion. I think if you're as strong as you say you are, anything I have got to say can't hurt you.

(Wolf) BLITZER: I will point out to our viewers as well as to Carolyn Parrish that Tucker Carlson often speaks with tongue in cheek. Is that a fair assessment, Tucker? Just want to make sure our viewers don't literally believe that every word that you're saying.

CARLSON: I don't think every Canadian is dogsledding at all times but I do think there's a lot of dogsledding in Canada. Yes, I do think that's true.

PARRISH: Very little, my friend.

CARLSON: You know that's true, Carolyn. (UNINTELLIGIBLE). But there's a lot of dogsledding.

PARRISH: No, there's not a lot of dogsledding. There's a lot of dog walking, my friend. Not a lot of dogsledding.

CARLSON: Welcome to our century.

For some odd reason I get that joke... For a street fighting badass I have a good understanding of algebra and physical sciences... weird...

(Al: If you haven't figured it out, the message is "Merry X mas" Or more correctly M(e^x)(r)(r) (Y) X(mass). Since the e is the set value of 2.71828 it is actually e^1 or just e. End of geek spiel.)

Back to bashing my head against a wall, that's how badass I am... Oh yeah...
