PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH!

People are lying to you.

I don't know how you can say this and at the same time say that Cam'ron is "fucking trash." In terms of pure flow/word-play Cam's best stuff absolutely slays just about everything Wayne's ever done. Also, Purple Haze is everything that Tha Carter III desperately wants to be (and I say this as someone who likes Wayne)

There's a lot of adjectives you can throw at Wayne but "consistent" really isn't one of them. The guy has absolutely no concept of self-editing and just releases every half-assed "freestyle" he comes up with while high off his ass on cough syrup, resulting in a pretty low wheat/chaff ratio.

I like Wayne just as much as the next Pitchfork-reading faggot, but calling him the "best rapper alive" is really kind of a huge stretch. Off the top of my head, I'd put Andre 3000, Pusha T, Ghostface and Jay-Z ahead of him. Maybe Kanye, T.I. and Lupe, too. And that's just dudes who are currently "relevant"--guys like Mos Def and Eminem and Nas and Cam'ron are still very much "alive" and still (maybe) capable of making music that leaves Wayne's best in the dust.

La Dolce Vita Probably a stretch here but whatever. Endlessly fascinating and deeply moving, this is Fellini's masterpiece--the one film where he managed to strike a perfect balance between emotional engagement and gorgeous visuals. The thing's three hours long and I don't think there's a single scene that I'd cut or even trim down in any way. Absolutely sublime.

This (or at least the version of it that leaked to the net this weekend. who knows if the retail version will look anything like this) is pretty fantastic. I was worried that it was going to be a huge let down because I wasn't really feeling any of the post-Drought 3 mixtape stuff and I was pretty much ready to accept the fact that Wayne had fallen off and become a promethazine casualty and would never deliver an album that could live up to the hype. I was wrong, thankfully. The best part is that he hasn't really toned down the drugged out space cadet side of his persona--there's a few obv. concessions to pop radio ("Comfortable," "Lollipop") but there's also shit on here that's more free-form and out there than anything this side of a Kool Keith record ("A Milli,""Phone Home"). Also, he closes the album with a seven minute rambling monologue that ends with him totally calling out Al Sharpton.

Oh yeah like I'm really going to take some one-legged bitch's nutrition advice seriously. :rolleyes;

Lily Allen is super trashy and kind of annoying why would you ever want to marry her. I mean, I wouldn't mind fucking her but no way I'd want to spend the rest of my life with that bird.

video proof that dogs are sweeter than cats

Boogie Nights Prob. my all time favorite movie. It's one of the only films I've ever seen that doesn't really have a single real weakness. The acting, directing, writing and cinematography are all ridiculously top-notch and the soundtrack is one of the best in modern cinema. Also, Heather Graham gets naked in it. Basically a perfect movie.

I think most of my problems with The Holy Mountain stem from the fact that the first half of the movie feels like a mediocre Buñuel rip-off that's trying way way too hard to be In Your Face. Once it settles down and gets into the meat of the "plot" it's actually pretty entertaining/interesting and I think I was kinda too hard on it when I called it a "mess of over-indulgent shit" on the last page.

Don't ticket holders get free tacos if the Lakers score 100+ or something? Maybe Sasha was just trying to make sure no Lakers fans go to bed hungry tonight.

The refs are apparently attempting to prove that "superstar calls" are a figment of the imagination by adamantly refusing to give Kobe Bryant free throws.

Kobe led the league in Ts this year.

I'm in.

It's really nice to see Democrats adopting Rush Limbaugh rhetoric.

Being christened "Mr. Big Shot" was pretty much the worst thing to ever happen to Chauncey. Now it's like he thinks he has to be the guy making the plays down the stretch, even though the Pistons are at their absolute worst when one of them is trying to do too much and they're not sharing the ball.

Hey I'm Keith Olbermann I'm going to go on a nine-minute self-important rant that's mostly just warmed-over DailyKos shit and then show some clips of monkeys doing silly things that I found on the internet and maybe also include some audio clips of Stewie the talking baby from the hit TV show Family Guy somewhere along the way. I am truly the spiritual successor of Edward R. Murrow.

Fucking useless. Music for people who can't listen to music without texting some other cunt-for-a-face. I just watched the video for "Great DJ' on YouTube and, yeah, the music's pretty terrible but that girl is fucking hot as hell goddamn.

I think this movie might be over my head. Explain to me why it's a brilliant masterpiece and not just a mess of over indulgent shit. I normally like that sort of thing (eg Godard's Week End is totally in my Fave Five) but something about The Holy Mountain just didn't sit right with me. Some of the character backstories were kinda inspired, but other than that it seemed like a whole lot of "Whoa look how RADICAL & TRANSGRESSIVE this is!" and not much else. Am I missing something?? Also, that Harmony Korine movie sounds pretty sweet.

The best part of the show was when they started trying to work in references to September 11 to give their stupid melodramatic storylines more weight. There'd be a story about a kid who was depressed or whatever and at some point one of the teachers (usually Chi McBride) would be like "After that tragic day in September a lot of people have been feeling depressed" or something and it was always totally forced and out-of-place and hilarious.

Good win, but I still don't understand the relative lack of Maxiell and Amir. I mean, one of the biggest reasons that Atlanta was able to take Boston to seven games was that their freakishly athletic forwards created all kinds of matchup problems for the Celtics. Why Saunders chooses to let his similarly freakishly athletic forwards rot on the bench while Theo Ratliff lumbers around doing nothing is beyond me.

I pretty much hated Shoot Em Up too. That films was beyond pointless. I don't know how anyone can hate Shoot Em Up. That shit was hilarious.

This and the fact that Flip continues to give all of Amir Johnson's minutes to the decrepit Theo Ratliff (who's contributed absolutely nothing in this game) are both pretty inexplicable.
