My friend described Rumchata as "the milk left over when you eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch," and after trying it I can't really disagree at all. poo poo's delicious. Beyond sane knolls posted:Is that like horchata with rum?

Not-Linkin Park willingly chose to have themselves playing in a disgusting men's urinal. How appropriate.

SALT CURES HAM posted:Having all but the last few episodes of a heavily serialized show on Netflix is the dickest move. Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood are about the only anime I'd feel comfortable recommending to normal real life people, largely because both series are about the only ones I can think of that aren't sort of creepy towards women (maybe because the writer of the original manga was a woman). Paranoia Agent is the other anime I've seen all the way through that isn't casually misogynist, but it's...Lynchian meets Japanese culture, so most people would check out after one episode.

I love Paranoia Agent. "Happy Family Planning" is one of the greatest episodes of anything. My current scoot loudout in TF2 is based on Lil' Slugger.  I just wish the series was easily available for purchase.

Skype job interviews. Don't have much to add beyond that. It's one of those wonderfully casual futurist type things.

Honestly, if you don't watch shonen, most anime is kinda okay about gender issues. Serial Experiments Lain, Princess Nine, ARIA, Madoka Magica, Turn A Gundam, Noein, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Attack on Titan all handle it pretty well, just off the top of my head. Really the only thing that makes FMA unique is that it's a shonen series that isn't misogynist as gently caress, rather than being targeted to a demographic other than young boys. (I have seen waaaaay too much anime.  )

GRAD SCHOOL DECISION UPDATE: They just sent me an e-mail announcing that Zizek will be lecturing there in the fall, and the director claims to have publishing ties at the New York Times and New Yorker. Guys, there's a chance this school might actually be legit.

Bordello of Blood is a very enjoyable movie and not in a "so bad it's good" sort of way.

I'm so intensely jealous of you right now. I haven't even been able to see the dude live. Actually taking a class with him would be amazing. Him, David Harvey, and Andrew Kliman are all on the list of professors I wish lived even reasonably close by.

This would actually make the school seem less legit to me, actually. I mean, the school is probably legit as in they will take your money and you will get a degree at the end. Žižek is notorious for hating teaching in any form besides talking for three hours straight, and actively tried to trick students in order to avoid interacting with them, and at that point you might as well watch him on YouTube

I'm watching Godzilla vs Biollante right now and this movie is bonkers. In the first 15 minutes it goes straight from Commando-level '80s action movie, to personal drama about the loss of a loved one, right to psychics talking to roses. These 3 scenes are back-to-back. edit: this fat guy keeps saying "Godziller."

Man Pompeii is such cheesy trash. I kind of dug it though - mainly for Kiefer Sutherland twirling his moustache and chewing the scenery. Dunno why it's getting such a panning.
