Justice : “Stress”

I watched this a month ago but was only blown away upon recalling it, out of the blue, just now. Raw young impulse to violence paired with the queasy realism of the amazing Man Bites Dog.

man bites dog is the the most electrifying film in its genre, bar none. i truly love it.

and i remember watching the video embedded above, too, and thinking that the buttress or deadman anchor in which it related song and flippancy to was the easily unnoticed sampling of devo’s “jocko homo”, recorded in 1977.

are we not men?
we are DEVO
are we not pins?!

clever. devo is the “de-evolution” band, and i have mentioned them before. quite.

(the above linked video is from an second edit and it features paul schaefer, dan akroyd, and jim belushi (you’ll only recognize them because now i’ve told ya that they’re in it), because they were so amazed by the video and the band that they begged to be included.)

so i ask you: are we not pins?

OK LET’S GO!

A Modest Proposal - Tumblr Burgr Meetup

beff:

adamiss:

Ok, I’m gonna admit it, I’ve never had Shake Shack. Yeah, I know, sue me.  I promise to have it in the next few weeks.  I’ve also never been to Corner Bistro or had a Burger at Luger’s.

I have had: Lucky Burger, Brgr, White Horse, Burgers and Cupcakes, Five Guys, Jackson Hole, Chelsea Grill, Island Burger (the chicken is way better), 123 Burger Shot Beer Sliders, Route 66 Cafe, and my personal favorite, Burger Joint.

I’m proposing we get a group together, create a consensus on the top 5-7 places to try throughout the five boroughs, and ultimately decide who has the best burger in NYC.  This should take an entire day, especially if there’s some travel involved; but that’s probably better for our digestion.

Sure I know this has been done before, but not by me, not by us.  So really, it doesn’t count.  As we speak, Soup is surveying the unwashed masses (Met fans) to see what they think.  Maybe we use those results as a jumping off point - or maybe we strike out on our own.

Now the real question: Who’s with me?

if you’re including all 5 boroughs, i definitely recommend the burgers at sparrow in astoria - pretty top notch.

oh stfu, queens. you have one place that’s good for ribs in l.i.c. and maybe some souvlaki hidden here or there but THAT’S IT AND YOU KNOW IT!

please don’t mention the “beer garden”. water taxi bar beat it out three years ago and now you got nuttin’, pardner :(

zoee: (via deviantART) you’re not your client. you’re not how much self-employment tax you have to pay quarterly for your freelance work. you’re not the mac you work on. you’re not the contacts you have stored in your addressbook. you’re not your fucking font folder. you’re the circle-jerking, circular-reasoning idiots that couldn’t hack it in fine arts classes. or: graphic designers don’t know their ass from their elbow when it comes to anything more than merely being pretty or clever. the ironing (of the above “image…?”) is delicious.

"Savages"

I just finished watching this film (starring Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman) and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing.
Dark comedic drama done very well and I recommend it to anyone with aging parents.

Just another reason to love Montana: thickass heavy-duty solid brass knuckles are not only legal, but also really cheap ($7.50 - no sales tax in MT, either).
