What the headline said! We’ll give the Corner credit for the unrolling of this special feature — it’s posted #25 – #13 only as of this minute — which makes us wait patiently for the full list UNLESS we purchase a National Review subscription. In other words, they managed to make us consider seriously subscribing [...]
The foreign language film part of the Oscars is usually an agonizing experience, mainly because you’ve never seen the film before, and secondly, because you wish you had. Luckily, National Geographic is hosting “Global Glimpses,” a mini film festival running from Feb. 13-15, to update the Heath Ledger-obsessed masses on the Oscars’ 2008 foreign language [...]
Friday, Feb. 6: The Freer Gallery is screening Loose Rope tonight, a Persian film about two men who must deliver a cow to the northern part of Tehran in 24 hours, or else their jobs are at stake. Sounds like a typical American movie, except you’d have to replace “cow” with “cocaine” and “Tehran” with [...]
Say “hi” to our fancy new intern, Malaka Gharib. She writes a crazy restaurant thing for the D.C. Examiner, and also does production at Al Jazeera in Washington, and has this crazy food blog too. And she will be writing about all of those types of things, and also music and movies and etc. Hooray!
So there are basically two weekends in this month, January 2009, that are count-y ones: last weekend, as you and what’s left of your liver will recall, was New Year’s Eve; next weekend, hordes of earnest young people will swarm your streets, your bars, and, for a fee, your futons for a glimpse of Rick [...]
When did it get so cold? It is just miserable out, in the mid-Atlantic anyway. Here are some things this weekend that will keep you warm besides mittens and sex. They include: Bill Murray, Nada Surf, Ne-Yo, and ballet.
It’s supposed to rain all weekend, except Sunday, a day that counts for nothing. Except God. Well, no matter! All you weekend fun can be scheduled indoors, in movie theaters mostly, and a few concert venues. In fact, Steve Martin trekked in all the way from the 70s to accompany Lisa Loeb in some tribute [...]
Halloween is next weekend, which means that starting next Friday, you will be forced to pretend that each of the 700 billion Sarah Palin costumes you see is hilarious, winning, and topical. This will be terrible—an exercise in bad faith that will test the very resilience of the human condition. So! Enjoy this sartorially unremarkable [...]
Have you heard about the great new hilarious comedy about how libtards are communists? No? Well, that’s hardly a surprise, what with the Illuminati trying to keep you from seeing this great new hilarious comedy. It is about how Michael Moore (remember him? crazy times!) is so fat, and then he quits being Anti-American and [...]
Bill Clinton e-mailed us today and guess what he wants, that’s right, more money. He writes that you can purchase a DVD of Hillary & Bill’s convention speeches for $50 dollars, today! And if you pay $250, you get the same thing but SIGNED BY HILLARY. It is called the “Signature” Edition! Oh man, these [...]
A dude sent us this video he made so sure, why not? That wretched Oil Man from There Will Be Blood is a pretty good vehicle for the downward trajectory of John McCain’s famous Honor: people think he’s become Satan in 2008, while in 2000 everyone liked him for… uh… campaigning on a platform of [...]
All your friends who’ve been in places like Denver and St. Paul for the last nineteen weeks will be back in town tomorrow, hurrah! They will want to drink, heavily. Here are some means to that end, and an elitist movie or two.
Here’s the trailer for An American Carol, which was first shown to the world on the O’Reilly Factor last night. Movie trailers rarely debut on Bill O’Reilly’s terrible show, but this is a conservative “spoof” movie starring the few Republican actors in Hollywood. The film’s target is the American Left as personified by Michael Moore, [...]
This is one of many great short films submitted to something called Cinemocracy.org, which is the official film festival of the DNC in Denver! One of these lucky crazy people, hopefully this one, above, who is moaning into a 9-foot-long tube, will be the winner and get their crazy-ass little YouTube shown to 75,000 people [...]
