Kid's Movie

Filmed a while ago. Rumor has it, it was too scary for kid's to watch. But it looks great. A classic come to life. Enjoy...



ps- I believe Crude Features is writing/editing/supervising/raising from the very earth some books to follow along with the movie. So some congrats to him!

Disturbing Movies

I don't watch a lot of disturbing movies (ie Gremlins), but I do love movies. So every once in a while I go on a freaky-movie-kick. What got me interested was an article on ign about top 15 most disturbing movies. I had seen some like Requiem for a Dream, Exorcist, Clockwork Orange. I haven't seen most of them, and the one's I had seen, it had been a while. So the list got me to thinking, I need to broaden my movie watching experience. Too many chick flicks, action movies, and indie films.

So here are a few movies that I picked up and will watch in the near future. Now these aren't scary movies per-se, but more disturbing ones. Ones that I'm told will stick with me and give me chills long after I finish watching. Awesome (there better not be any Gremlin in these movies)

I Spit on your Grave
Jacobs Ladder
Salo
The Strangers
Videodrome
A Clockwork Orange
Audition
Last House on the Left
The Exorcist
The Hills Have Eyes

Some modern ones, some old ones. Im excited. I will enjoy.

WTF

If you are my friend, and I see you wearing one of these I will punch you. No questions asked. After you get up, you will thank me.

Go home, you damn dirty hipster!

And I just want to re-emphasize how much I like this site:

Stuff you crazy white folks like...

I'm still going strong at about 10% of "whiteness" according to the list, Mrs. KTL, however, is at about 30-40%. But to her credit, she has been steadily declining in "whiteness" since the list came out, and she is white.

Heroes

No not the terrible TV show. A true hero.

Now, I do not condone sex with minors, but this kid lived out every boys adolescent fantasy....twice.....at the same time.

And these teachers are sick. Enjoy:

couple of things

Found this incredible visual explanation of the credit crisis. Take a look:

CLICK ON THIS TO SEE THE ECONOMY COLLAPSE!!!

Also, I had my 9th trivia tonight. It was relatively quiet, but I'm getting a steady stream of regulars. So things are looking up!

Here's the flyer that Max Anger made...pretty awesome and topical


I'll put up some more pics from actual trivia...later.

Another chart...how smart are you?

Can't say this is very accurate. Probably some hipster made this up to make himself feels better about the music he listens to (eg Sufjan Stevens). But it's fun to see where your music ranks. According to this chart, I got about a 990 on my SAT, but I actually scored infinity +1 of whatever you got.

Callisto and Watchmen

Saw Watchmen over the weekend. Good not great. Dark Knight and Ironman, both were better. Rorschach was awesome, so were the fight sequences (300-esque). Very true to the original story. BUT the pacing was a bit slow, Dr. Manhattan's junk was a bit much, and one of my biggest gripes was that Rorschach's mask was constantly shifting, which was incredibly distracting. 3/5.



I take reading suggestions of anyone who loves Stephen King as much as me. So I'm starting this book...

Snow day?

For some reason the schools had a snow day and there was only 7-9 inches on the ground. Mrs. KTL almost got on the train before she got the call that school was canceled. So since I'm up till the early morn and she gets up in the early morn, we headed out into the fresh snow. We ran into The Shonker on her way to work. Here are some pics of our outing. Enjoy

New year for chinese people and too-cool-for-school white folks

We went out for Chinese New year in Chinatown. Didn't particularly want to go, but Mrs. KTL forced me to, and she usually gets her way. BUT I am glad I went. We got a pretty awesome spot, and I got some pretty awesome pictures. The day was really nice and it was fun letting off those giant confetti things. And ended up eating some delicious food. Enjoy...

Mrs. KTL and the giant confetti things. You twist them at the bottom and confetti and streamers explode out the other end. Seems like you could probably hurt someone if they got on the wrong end of things.


Danger Will Robinson! Danger!


Some of the confetti and whatnot in the air

Not sure who these girls are. They might be tourists...fucking tourists.

I think this is a homeless guy, who dresses like this all year. But a broken clock is right twice a day.


Dragons


Dragon....in your face!

Something a little frightening

I saw some articles floating around the web about how big a number 1 trillion is. A number like 1 million, we can handle. I even think a billion (winning the powerball lottery 16 times in a row) is about the limit of what we can comprehend. But to wrap your mind around a number like a trillion is hard work. Think about it this way:

1 million seconds = about 11.5 days
1 trillion seconds = about 32,000 YEARS

our federal deficit = 11.5 trillion....scary.

2009

No need for a lot of words. Didn't really have new year plans this year, pretty low key. Made last minute plans with a few folks. AC, Max Anger, RFG. The photos will explain the rest of the night.
