You too can backflip into your pants

Genius wrapped in homo-eroticism. I present to you "putting on your pants two legs at a time:"

Is anyone else psyched by this awesome movie?

I'm a gigantic fan of absurdist drama (or Le Théâtre de l'Absurde though I'm slightly less keen about the stuff that came from France, probably because of the loss in translation). It is a love I discovered in 12th grade English class. I think it comes from my adoration for wacky comedy like that of the state (where the hell is the DVD MTV?).

Anyway, I also love movies about the undead, specifically zombies. I'm a giant zombie fan, a love I discovered after Night of the Living dead came into the public domain. But although I really like the zombies, I'll take a vampire movie just as well.

Which is all why I am incredibly excited about the film "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead" which is a comedy that brings the genius of the absurditst, Tom Stoppard play (and excellent film) "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" together with Vampires. Also, the trailer for the film makes it look pretty funny.

Hurrah, I say.

The trials and tribulations of tenure

MacSweeney's strikes again with a fantastic piece for all of us Indiana Jones film fans. We shouldn't forget that for all his awesomeness, Indy is a professor of archeology after all.

Ewoks?

More comedic genius:

wow...

When I learn about traditions like this baby dropping ritual, presented in the video above, my first thought is "how did such a tradition come to begin? What sorts of social conditions had to be in place for human beings to start doing this and to then continue doing it generation after generation."

Ah... to be an anthropologist.
