After having the same lyric from “Territorial Pissings” on loop in my head for three days straight, I caved. I watched the Kurt Cobain documentary. Mind you, I was gonna watch it anyway. It’s just that the tale – which you know the ending to – is depressing enough that you kinda hafta be in good spirits to watch it if you’re easily depressed like me (probably why I identified..

On deck documentaries: “Approaching the Elephant”
Next on deck for films that won’t be a total waste of time to watch? The documentary on “free schools” called “Approaching The Elephant”. Back in high school, I remember seeing this one Justin Long movie where he creates a college based around, well, basically whatever the kids who come there feel like doing. It sounds like a fun idea in theory (and, technically, not terribly different from how actual.. Read More

Best vines in life are free, maaaan….
Original Video – More videos at TinyPic “Series?” Series-ly, subtitle dude? That’s not what she said at all. Try again, friend.

Let’s Apocalypse! ( A Juxt-expose-ition)
WHO HERE LIKES VICE? For those of you who are unfamiliar with who they are, they are these guys who’ve managed to educate young folk on world events by portraying their journalistic endeavors in a more attractive way: from teaching us about drugs like the “get-anyone-to-do-what-you-say” drug, “Scopolamine”, to “sneaking” inside North Korea. Think “Hipster Christiane Amanpour”. Anyway, they used to make these awesome documentaries for free on Youtube; but.. Read More
Girl Model
I was down with the flu, so I spent my sick day watching a documentary I’d been wanting to see for a while about young girls in the modeling industry. It’s a little different from “Picture Me”, though. Video embedded after the blog! Against the creepy backdrop of some Aphex Twin sounding music, “Girl Model” invites you into the twisted world of teen modeling. We follow Nadya, a beautiful 14.. Read More
