Watching Multiple Seasons of ‘American Horror Story’ at Once
American Horror Story is actually pretty good. Co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have managed to do what horror movie directors haven’t done for at least the last decade: develop a project that puts good acting and character development first. There’s plenty of “jumpy” moments involved, but the show finds… [Read More]
I LOVE #SELFIE CULTURE
Oxford Dictionary named “selfie” the Word of the Year and I love it. Selfie, or a picture you’ve taken of yourself, was used 17,000% more than it was used last year. Among other words added this year are twerk, jorts, FOMO, and bitcoin. However, selfie rises above as most indicative… [Read More]
Making a Case for Bitstrips (sort of)
Writing a Facebook status used to be just that. You’d write something down to share with your friends. Times have changed. Now we tag our friends in statuses by adding their @name inline or even by letting the whole world know we are quite literally “- with Steve.” The latest… [Read More]
Fantasy Football Anger Management
Many sports fans are of the opinion that in the fall months, Sunday exists as the simultaneously best and worst day of the week. On the one hand, there’s football: beer, friends, fantasy teams, food, sloth, and watching grown men pummel the shit out of each other. On the other,… [Read More]

TV Spinoffs Need to Chill
Please stop. Last week news broke that CBS is in talks to green light a How I Met Your Mother spinoff series. The name of said series is How I Met Your Father. This is without question a stupid name, but it’s an even stupider idea. Hollywood has a problem… [Read More]
“About Time” Review: Get Chinese Food Instead
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7A810duHvw] As far as movies your girlfriend is going to drag you to, Richard Curtis’ new movie About Time is… okay. It isn’t good but it isn’t terrible, and that’s due in large part to Domhnall Gleeson‘s self-depreciation, Bill Nighy’s witty comments, and Rachel McAdams being beautiful and forgiving. The… [Read More]
Texts From the Making of ‘Reflektor’
By Victor Beigelman and Andy Verderosa Just one week ago, Arcade Fire released their fourth album, Reflektor, to the masses. It’s been more than three years since they dropped the Grammy-winning, absurdly good The Suburbs, so thankfully we’ve all had some time to let our wrists heal from dancing non-stop… [Read More]
Daylight Savings, Sad Dudes, and Winter Music
I try to be one with nature. I don’t mean that in a literal sense. If things go correctly, I will never go camping again. I mean that my music taste is influenced by the seasons. Daylight savings time has ended and winter is upon us. It’ll be dark by… [Read More]
