Kristen Stewart's Chin is going to haunt my dreams tonight. I just hope and pray that Chris Weitz has directed New Moon with more flattering camera angles than stoner betch Catherine Hardwicke. I... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Goth Music: The Early Years

Dialogic (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009

OK--students in my cultural studies course had a bit of a crisis because half of their presentation group dropped out. They are doing a presentation on the Goth subculture and the two members that dropped out were covering the music. So I offered to help out with an introduction to the roots of the Goth sound (as a non-expert)... here is what I came up with, anyone want to suggest additions? 1970s:...

Son of Rambow Review

Toronto Mike's Blog (Free subscription) | 09/11/2009

Son of Rambow : 6.5 out of 10. Much like Where the Wild Things Are, which I saw the previous day , Son of Rambow is about the wonders of a child's imagination. It's a very cute and charming little British film about a sheltered boy who is shown a pirated copy of First Blood. That unleashes the creative filmmaker within. It's a simple movie, but pleasing. Taking place in the early 80s, it has a great...

Say you're a glamorous media type who gets invited to fascinating, star-studded events, and you need a buddy to bring as an accomplice. A buddy who laughs loudly and wears an outlandish costume and/or matches your colors. I am that buddy . It's good to have me around, because I'm not competing for your job -- I'm just there to be agreeable. Wednesday night saw me and Rohin at SoHo's Agent Provocateur...

So pretty much all of my October posts have been Halloween related in one way or another, but what can I say! I adore it. I wish that Saturday would bring an awesomely amazing post about how much fun I'm about to have at a fantastically glamorous Halloween party whilst wearing an off-beat costume that would make everyone go "Oooh," but no. I'll be working that night, my husband will be working,...
