One Year Ago Today

a chris kvale frame you don't see every day

unless you own you one, you probably don't see any chris kvale frame every day; this lovely example is certainly unique.  there are so many amazing details on this bike.  the cream and red works very well, too.  i like this a bunch. 

another useless human: maggie gallagher

as atrios's place reminded us today, maggie gallagher is another one of those worthless pieces of human garbage who are doing their best to hold back progress because their own lives have been squalid, joyless failures.  hypocrite and vacuous don't begin to define the pathetic gallagher.  she's another of the innumerable black marks against yale--as if paul giamatti wasn't enough--and whoever that sorry bastard was who actually knocked up this ridiculous slut must be cowering in fear of being outed as perhaps the most hard-up loser in the history of american higher education.

see a little light

just when the continued existence of scum like maggie gallagher has you believing a killer asteroid would be too good for us, a story like this comes along and makes it a little bit better.  deborah feldman is just the sort of wonderful, strong and wise person who will certainly aid human progress.  she's the anti-gallagher.

virag's movie reviews: thor (2011)

kenneth branagh presents tryin' too hard.  somebody should have explained to him that this wasn't some idiotic shakespeare reimagining, and that trying too hard is probably worse than phoning it in when the source material is so astoundingly silly.  it also would have been good to remind him that casting natalie portman kills your movie.  the thor dude was pretty weightless, too.  by law stellan skarsgard has to appear in every second movie released in the western world, so branagh gets a pass on that one.  the alien homeworld looked cartoony and probably cost a bundle.  over all, this would have been better as an episode of stargate sg-1.

what the fuck are they going to do with all those idiots in the avengers?  is that stupid thing going to be 6 fucking hours long?

virag's movie reviews: moneyball (2011)

moneyball would have been better in every conceivable way had the entire cast been replaced with the cast of major league.
