TAR: Torture Times

Amazing Race Having a Baby’s Gotta Be Easier Than This I believe this episode brought new meaning to the phrase “Chinese Water Torture” for some teams or maybe just Chinese torture after the foot “massage” they received in the beginning of the leg. Order teams left the pit stop:...

Bloc Party – Signs remix

Bloc Party will be releasing their remix CD of Intimacy on May 12. Here is the naughty video for “Signs” remixed by Armand Van Helden. This is not safe viewing for work or kidlets, especially around the 1:30 mark. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kyq0cA8fPE[/youtube]...

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Nick is a lovelorn boy who was dumped by a girl he is obsessed over. Why was he obsessed with Pumpkin Head? That’s how I refer to the actress that plays Tris. She’s way too skinny for her large head. Anyway, he was dumped by Pumpkin Head who was...

TAR: Mai Thai Trannies

Amazing Race Rooting Around in People’s Mouths Could Be Unpleasant Why do people leave things in taxis? Did they learn nothing from last season when a passport was left and lost in a taxi? Yes, the big backpacks are annoying, but take them and all your important stuff with...

There Will Be Blood

When the movie first came out, I wanted to see it because I love Paul Thomas Anderson. The cinematography looked amazing. It was pretty while also being bleak. Then, it became known for the line, “I drink your milkshake!” which Daniel Day-Lewis’ character Daniel Plainview says to Paul Dano’s...
