Dear Resident Evil 5,
I appreciate that you tried to make the game less racist by scattering a few white people through the zombie hordes (though it’s kind of confusing that there’s all these white guys hanging around in random towns in Africa) but you kind of screwed it up when you got all “dark continent” with your crazy native village scenes.  Spears and masks?  Eek.  Oops, you’re...

Dark Visually-striking Violent Revenge Movies
A genre Netflix thinks I would like. Also, disturbingly, one of the local favorites for Astoria is Salo, or 100 Days of Sodom.

Japandroids - "Young Hearts Spark Fire" →
I’ve posted this before, but shit, yo.  This song, this album, this band.  I’m sure there’s gonna be a glowing review in Pitchfork soon.  Mark my words, this band is gonna blow up all over the hipster blogs, and with good reason.  Absolutely terrific.

Clearly this means there ARE vampires there.  OMG I HOPE THEYRE AS SUPER CUTE AS TWILIGHT FROM TWILIGHT. I assume the lead character’s name in Twilight is Twilight.

zachlinder: Slightly tweaked from the version I saw at the 92Y Maurice Sendak tribute in September.  Looks even better now.  Haven’t been this excited for a movie since ever. erockappel: “WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE” TRAILER!!! (via Jonah) THIS.  LOOKS.  PERFECT.

Micachu - "Just In Case" →
Another from Micachu.  This one is a better example of the strange instrumentation.  And perhaps one I like a little more. (link via Obscure Sound)

The big MTA changes for Astoria N/W riders
No more W. Q in Astoria on weekdays. Instead of 8 minutes btwn trains on weekends, 10 minutes.* Instead of 20 minutes btwn trains 2-5 AM, 30 minutes.* *These are true for several lines. Oh, and 30-day cards will be a little over a hundred bucks.

Why is Salò a local favorite for Astoria on Netflix?  Makes me feel like I’m surrounded by pervs.

Secrets of Minetta Tavern's Black Label Burger →
mikescollins: adamfrucci: My god. There is absolutely nothing better than a good cheeseburger.  And, although I respect the decision to traditionally serve it without cheese, I’m gunna go with Chef Hanson and add cheddar. Seriously, I haven’t been to this place and really want to go. If you put cheddar on a burger, you are on my shitlist.

Way to blantantly lie, Fox News. Like, really... →
They used a highly edited clip of Joe Biden mocking McCain for saying “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” before the election to try to make it look like he’s agreeing with that statement now.  This isn’t Drudge.  This isn’t Malkin’s blog.  This wasn’t some flub.  This is the #1 cable news network blatantly, intentionally misinforming its...

This was weird.  Did anyone notice Kenan staring right at the cue-card, mouthing all of Tracy’s lines?  After the first one I thought, oh this must be a fluke.  But nope, he did it every time.  Weird beard.  Funny sketch, though.

rubysneakers: i wish there was a tumblr button for ‘hate’. I was just think about this a few days ago.  Tumblr at least needs to make an API so someone can develop a hate button.
