Do you think chubby hipsters will ever truly be accepted by a bicycle rights-based society? If not, why not? If yes, how? Also, when?

My scarf smells like mayonnaise, what does yours smell like?

Note to self: never GIS "chubby hipster" with safe search off... or on.

2010-02-12T12:17:00.000-08:00

I was talking about this documentary recently with Adriana because I have recently seen "Tyson" and I was saying how I forgot how the tail end of Muhammed Ali's career and the very beginning of Mike Tyson's career overlapped a little. I was telling her how Ali came into the ring when Mike fought Trevor Berbick for his first Heavyweight title and asked the young Iron Mike to "Get him for me." Trevor Berbick was the last opponent Ali ever fought, ending his career with a loss to Berbick in 1981.

It made me think of this great(and sad)HBO documentary about the rivalry between Ali and Joe Frazier. If you have not watched it you really should, fight fan or not. Here is Part 1, the rest can be found on YouTube.

Letter From Harland

2010-02-10T16:00:00.000-08:00

I wrote Harland Williams(one of my favorite comedians) a letter a while back regarding the phenomenon known as "Artist's Block". This was his response:

Hi Erik, thank you - there will be new paintings in 2010 for sure -
As far as creativity - I force myself to keep creating cuz it's like my reason for living, I cant shut it off....sometimes it's a bit of a curse - I guess I will stop when I'm dead - or maybe be a creative ghost - My tip for you to stay creative is a bit morbid but should work, you only have one life in which to get out all your gifts, thoughts, ideas - picture the day when u are too sick to write or paint and you will be sad you didn't do it when you were healthy...so you have to do it now!
Also, if you feel blocked or depressed try pushing through and using those sometimes dark or negative emotions. Sometimes they can lead to the best work!

Good luck and remember to always pass the chips at snack time!

H.

I think that is advice we could all use, which is why I have reprinted it in this blog entry.

Now that I have a reader or two I am going to try to post more than just once a month. Hopefully the things I post will be interesting to both of you and not just one or neither of you.

Today I am posting a "Does anyone remember this?"

In the 80's, Horror Host Commander USA was showing the grooviest old junky movies on cable television. He was pretty funny I wonder if he is dead...

Here he is introducing Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers or NAMBLA

For more clips of the Commander check out this YouTube channel:

Update, he's not dead!

Southland Tales

2007-11-19T02:37:00.000-08:00

Justin Timberlake watches a movie plot get sucked into the fourth dimension in Richard Kelly's "Southland Tales"

Saw Southland Tales today in Pasadena, could one of you geniuses please explain this movie to me because I was too dumb to figure out anything beyond the fact that there were a lot of song lyrics used as dialog, and a lot of winks and nods to other cult movies(like his own Donnie Darko, Repo Man, Fight Club, Suicide Circle, Adaptation, Starship Troopers, and a bunch more that I can't remember right now).

In fact most of the stuff I remember after watching the movie are clever cutie-pie moments that seem designed to create another cult movie like the ones he is paying homage to.

Like a lot of the people who are saying this movie isn't very good I am a Donnie Darko fan. Unlike Donnie Darko though, this movie doesn't work using the "Interpret your own ending" technique. The story leading up to the strange ambiguous ending in Darko holds up on its own. At the end of that movie I was hoping that things would turn out well for Donnie and when they didn't I was sad.

There is no character that we feel any kind of attatchment to or sympathy for at the end of this movie.

I wanted to like the movie and there are funny moments in it, but if someone could kindly explain the meaning of the ending, or even the middle or the beginning to me I could switch sides on this thing. You know, hop back on board the Richard Kelly is Brilliant Express.

Until I get the Cliff Notes for this it recieves 99 out of 100 stars. (more stars is worse)

1 DAY LATER EDIT:

The internet arguments by movie nerds about this seem to be divided into two major camps: people who didn't understand the movie and didn't like it, and the people who didn't understand but liked it anyway. My prediction is already coming true, legions of douchebags pretending to "get" the film in order to seem cool.

Problem is that I have yet to see a proper explanation or breakdown of the plot.

Maybe all the explanatory storytelling is in the Cannes version of the film? Apparently the version most of us are seeing in theaters is missing almost half an hour of footage. (involving Kevin Smith and Janeane Garofalo's characters)

Minimum Effort, Maximum Results (ART!)

2007-10-11T10:43:00.000-07:00

Check out the skill level required to make a living as an artist in england:

ilikedrawing

What is art? I don't know. Is that guy's autistic doodling art? It is. Of course it is. He is making the drawings and paintings and (apparently)people are buying them and hanging them on walls. Yes, he never bothered to learn how to draw, yes his drawings have very little detail and seem to require almost no time or effort, but enough people like them that he is able to sell prints and paintings. Does commercial success equal art? I don't know.

My goal is to become good at the kind of art I like. I want to be able to cartoon like Jamie Hewlett and paint like Shelly Wan.

I may never get there but I will keep trying.
