A bunch of fucked up kids started a band. The most caustic, kamikaze, fucked up band you could ever imagine. Gather ‘round, children, to hear their tale of sleeping under coffee tables, huffing gasoline and fucking fat chicks. Reeeeeally fat chicks. Listen up kids, for I tell the truth.

The zombie movie is a dying breed. Romero and Fulci conquered it and now scavengers like Danny Boyle and Zack Snyder try to reanimate the corpse that once was.

I find this statement a little hard to believe, after [...]

Let’s say you’re flipping channels and you happen upon the opening scene of a film. It’s grainy and black and white. A man walks into a detective’s office and says, “I want to report a murder.” “Who was murdered?” asks the detective. “I was,” answers the man.

There is a delicious irony in the fact that one of the most important insights into American politics was inadvertently revealed by the Bush Administration.
Apparently without the knowledge of the higher-ups, the National Science Foundation funded a psychological study which was published by the American Psychological Association in 2003 as the paper, “Political Conservatism as [...]

Did you know that Virginia’s official state bird and state tree are listed as “urgently endangered” by the National Wildlife Foundation? That’s because global warming is changing our planet enough to alter migration patterns and growing seasons. That’s the reality we face. There’s little debate that climate change and other environmental issues are critical to [...]
