Terminally Ill Stunt People

Not all drugs are good. Some... are great.

So this is a song I’ve attached myself to lately, introduced to it by the show Sports Night, which, like all great drama, has found me better prepared for difficult times. I’m also in the midst of a self-imposed marathon of 1950s science fiction movies, and this is the music video. Life is so weird.

Wrong on many levels. Which is also why it’s funny.

I don’t think of him as sexist at all. I think of him as flamingly straight.

This movie saved my life.

Never better.

If you disagree with this, you’re either evil or stupid. Pick one.

If you still feel like strangling me, Stephanie, then please. I could use the feeling. Happy Birthday.

Quite possibly my favorite MST3K host segment (starts at about the 5:30 mark). It’s not as conceptually brilliant as they come (Gorgo’s Nanite circus comes to mind), but it boils the characters down to their purest essences.

Maybe even better than the movie. A cookie to anyone who guesses which Shake line made me laugh harder than any other, ever. (Except not.) Click through for part two.

The announcers are the Greek chorus. And the master signs his masterpiece.

Low quality image. High quality material (though I disagree with some of it). Actually, I think the image has personality. (See: “Original Star Wars > 1997 Special Edition,” or “‘Inland Empire’ *is* beautiful, you dimwitted aesthete.”)

I think she’s reading off cards, or possibly an elaborate system of flashing screens meant to replicate a natural movement of the eyes. She strikes me as disingenuously shifty, like a paid actor who doesn’t believe what they’re saying.

In the mood for love, if by love you mean super-masculine self-destruction. I’ll now proceed to pass out to this on Criterion.

I think I’m going to like tumblr.
