johnke.meWhat I’m saying, basically, is that Quentin Tarantino is our Woody Guthrie; he is the Woody Guthrie of mondo and the midnight movie.
Regardless of how you feel about Tarantino and his movies, I recommend that everyone reads Christian Thorne’s amazing essay “Tarantino, Nazis, and Movies That Can Kill You” (part 1, part 2).
NBC is pulling Community from its mid-season schedule to make room in January for the return of 30 Rock and a new comedy based on the life of Chelsea Handler.
Really? As Donald Glover put it: Britta’d it. Community Benched in NBC Mid-Season Shuffle

Christian anti-abortion ‘social justice’ group hands out fetus dolls for Halloween (For the story and video, click image or here; Found at Jesus Needs New PR)
Back in the radio station I worked in, we used to get all these things that were like Argos catalogues for God-botherers. You could buy bumper stickers like “My other car is a HEAVENLY CHARIOT” and stuff like that. At the back of the catalogue were all these pro-life tchotchkes. You could buy these plastic foetus models to hand out at anti-abortion rallies. You could buy them in bulk. Like 30 for $50.
I always wanted to get a batch of the little ones, put them in the freezer, and use them instead of ice at parties. Except I’m not sure I trust the manufacturers to use the kind of high-quality plastic that wouldn’t give me cancer or whatever.
I do.
