RIP Glen Shadix
Alabama native Glen Shadix died.
Glen was put through "gay reparative therapy." It failed. And his story is horrifying:
But Glen survived, and we will miss him. Here's 2 musical tributes for Glen!
From Beetle Juice, for being the great Otho:
And from The Nightmare Before Christmas, for being Halloween Town's Mayor:
And, less famously, he was the preacher in the, "I love my dead gay son," scene in Heathers.
I love my dead gay Glen!

It Would Be Uninteresting If It Weren't David Fincher
And the musicians who beat Richard Cheese for the best cover of Radiohead's "Creep?" Scala and the Kolancy Brothers, which is apparently a Belgian girls choir.
I don't think I'll skip this one.

Put your thinking tuques on
Inception theory du jour of the day
I have always thought the name Ariadne to be lovely & have used it in various games. When I realized it was Ellen Page's character's name I was intrigued: Why pick a name from Greek antiquity? Ah, Christopher Nolan, you scamp, you are truly a thinking man's director.
Ariadne helped Theseus get out of the Minotaur's labyrinth by trailing string. Obviously this can refer to Inception's Ariadne's abilities as a dream architect, but can it also be a sly way of Christopher Nolan telling us what really happened to Cobb?
That's all the thinking I can do today. Now, back the to The Sims.

I Knew I Knew Where Mal Lived
The buildings from Inception's purgatory reminded me of some mid-century modernist building, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was.
At lunch today, I was perusing a book on modernist architecture, and I found it:
Am I wrong?
And yes, I bought the book.

Movie Review: The Human Centipede
I admit that I had to get pretty lit in order to watch this film. But even if I hadn't, my review stands:
Hands down, the best John Waters film never made by John Waters.
Like any movie by alpha-horror-homo Clive Barker: take any cut from the film and it will make you queasy to the brink of spitting up. But watch the whole thing, and you are rooting for the Cenobites. Or, in this case, Doctor Heiter: a campy, over-the-top version of the campy, over-the-top villain of Christoph Walz's Col. Landa.
It's brilliant, severed-tongue-in-flayed-ass-cheek, expressionist sickness, like Andy Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein or John Waters' Pink Flamingo.

We Have To Get This Zombie Horror
City of the Living Dead
I will scour the DVD stores to acquire this purported sick-out zombie masterpiece. From what I have heard, it is up our very narrow, gross-out alley.
