Well, there’s honestly not much more to say, so here’s Stephen Colbert testifying in front of the House about the plight of migrant workers: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Here’s hoping they ran that on C-Span 1.
In quick succession I watched a geisha with a chainsaw for a mouth, a house with arms and legs stomping around a city sending CGI geysers of blood spewing from skyscrapers, and a man being stabbed in the eyes with shrimp tempura. Either all of this would happen in the first five minutes of the film and the rest would be an awkward, ham-handed meditation on technology, or all of that was cut and the entire film would be an awkward, ham-handed meditation on technology. But in I dove, unaware of the sheer brilliance and unbridled filmic excellence I was about to experience by watching Robo-Geisha.
I love football: some of my earliest memories are of Real Madrid, of celebrating on the Castellana and at the Cibeles when we won the League in 1996 and the Champions League in 1997. I’ll never forget watching the most recent World Cup either: Spain winning ranks among the greatest sports moments (heck, moments in […]
The school year has begun. Two years ago at this time, I did not know that I was to encounter a grave threat to my soul as a believer. It was September 2008, and I walked in the Public Affairs Center to go to my class—Introduction to the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. Jeremy Zwelling, the now-retired […]
We here at the Blargus are going to break a long-standing Argus tradition: we, the editorial staff of this “fine” “news” “organization” will be endorsing candidates in the important election for freshman class representative. We wish to remind you that we are only loosely affiliated with the actual Argus, and that our views don’t represent […]
Awesome video, going viral as we speak. I just wanted to note how they did this. Basically a lot of chromakey, which is what James Cameron does when he wants to make the next highest-grossing film.
For those of you at home who did not hear last year’s installment, Justin Bieber is a 16-year-old pop sensation beloved by young girls across America; his music touches many a Tiger Beat reader’s soul, and will probably change the world somehow, like that book M. Night Shyamalan was writing in Lady in the Water. And as befits a sixteen-year-old who burst onto the scene late last year with hit singles and an inexplicable power to incite stampedes of preteens in shopping malls and deluges of missives on Twitter calling a girl nasty names for not liking his music, he is going to be the star of a 3-D film that tells his life story.
Howdy. Welcome back, comrades. Or in the case of freshmen, transfers, or new readers, welcome. I’m your friendly neighborhood Rocktimist, and I want to talk to you about Cee-Lo Green. I’ve been aware of Cee-Lo for some time, but I must admit I underestimated the man. I liked “Crazy” as much as anyone, but I […]
Mytheos Holt ’10, Wesleyan’s most polarizing alumni (I’m not including Michael Bay ’86 in this category because he’s awesome, so don’t H8) has spent the summer writing for the wonderfully awful, no I’m trying to be objective, right wing National Review. And, when you’re hired by a nationally published magazine to cover politics, you eventually […]
With the full understanding that I am opening up to potentially fiery and racist feedback, I am hoping to comment on an issue that I believe deserves very little attention—and that is the inescapable furor surrounding the construction of the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque”.
