Ebert Reviews *cough* Sex in the City 2

Electric Boogaloo...... no, kidding. I mean Evert does review it, I'm not sure why though? I'd much rather read his take on Human Centipede but he has vowed not to review that one.

RIP Frank Frazetta

Truly a legend.
Illustrator, comic artist and book cover artist, Frank Frazetta died today at the age of 82. Through his iconic paperback covers of muscular men and half-naked women, he defined what many of us now think of as fantasy. Frank thanks for the amazing art and giving us a hero like Conan. You will be missed.

Fantastic Interview with Jerry Casale of DEVO

really stop what you are doing and read this.

Going back to your early days. You were present at the Kent State shootings in 1970. How did that day affect you?

Jerry Casale: Whatever I would say, would probably not all touch upon the significance or gravity of the situation at this point of time? It may sound trite or glib. All I can tell you is that it completely and utterly changed my life. I was white hippie boy and than I saw exit wounds from M1 rifles out of the backs of two people I knew. Two of the four people who were killed, Jeffrey Miller and Allison Krause, were my friends. We were all running our asses off from these motherf&*$#ers. It was total utter bullshit. Live ammunition and gasmasks – none of us knew, none of us could have imagined. They shot into a crowd that was running. I sopped being a hippie and I started to develop the idea of devolution. I got real, real pissed off.
