Sometimes i like to rock my nails just plain clear. I’ll even let the size number hang out. My dance teacher says these are the most ghetto things she has ever seen and i guess it’s kinda like walking out the house with slippers and curlers on, but these nails straight up match her shoes so …ok, whatever you say.

Besides, I love acrylic, lucite, clear plastic…I’m starting to collect it.  Also there’s something pretty creepy about clear nails even though they are a bit more inconspicuous then the usual garishness. The nail game is just on overload, there are so many awesome ideas out there. I just can’t settle on one right now. So if anyone has any suggestions or themes…I’m asking for it.  Ctina suggested 8-bit graph 3d nails or dark skies with lightning storm. Hey L’Amour, have you ever jumped on some nail art?

I’m also guilty of doing this to other people’s computers.

I got interviewed about all the stuff that I do, take a hard gander.

OG TV personality Ed McMahon passed away today at the age of 86 after a battle with cancer. Let’s remember him by taking a look at one of his lesser known gigs, hosting the Legends of the Superheroes variety show. In this segment, Ed introduces the world to Ghetto Man, a jive-talking incarnation of every 70s black stereotype. Thanks, Ed!

Outkast – Stankonia (2000)

Vs.

Radiohead – Kid A (2000)

The Game is simple… if only one could exist which would it be?  What’s more important… personal relevance, cultural significance, or simply being the better album all other things aside? Choice is yours…

Ok so this new genre of Zombie movies is gaining momentum. Sure, it may be getting a little tired, but this looks promising.

PLEASE tell me this is new. It’s only got 40,000 views, so I’m assuming it is!

I hear you’re gearing up for a new installment in our friendly neighborhood web slinger’s movie franchise. Well look, if you ask me, the last three are garbage. All of them. Nearly unwatchable. Green Goblin looked really stupid, dude.

I don’t blame you though, you’re a terrific director. My stinkfinger is pointed at all the Marvel Studio execs. So look, I want to help you get this franchise on track. Why not take a chance and use the second best storyline (Death Of Gwen Stacy being #1 but you already fucked that up) as your playbook?

KRAVEN’S LAST HUNT

Follow me here:

Sergei Kravinoff, an independently wealthy and world renowned big game hunter, travels from his remote compound in Zanzibar to New York. He’s determined to track down his latest obsession: Spider-Man. Stuff happens, insert Vulture and The Lizard (an animal theme) and a bunch of fights where Kraven shows up and creates chaos while Spidey is fighting off said old-school villains.

Frustrated (and jealous) that Spider-Man kicks his ass at every turn, Kraven makes a deal with Vulture and Lizard — scheming to kill Spider-Man. However what everyone doesn’t know is that Kraven plans to assume the identity of Spider-Man, in effort to prove that he Kraven, is a better Spider-Man than Spider-Man himself! The ultimate TROPHY! Kraven tricks Vulture and Lizard to THINK he’s going to kill Spidey, but really just shoots him with a voodoo-fake-death-but-really-sleeping dart. A villainous double cross!

Kraven buries Spidey warrior style in an unmarked grave, so on and so forth…doesn’t unmask him, because it’s not ‘the code’ or something like that. Kraven goes on to impersonate Spider-Man around town, wearing the costume and kicking everyone’s ass with excessive force — even Vulture’s and Lizard’s asses. They’re all like, “What the hell, I thought we took care of the pesky wall-crawler?!”

Still with me?

So the audience starts crying, “Peter Parker can’t be dead. It’s the movies!” Plus, Aunt May and Harry are wondering where Pete is because he’s missing for weeks…the only person who knows that something is up is Mary Jane…because she knows about Pete’s alter-ego, duh. So she’s freaking out because she keeps seeing some imposter Spider-Man (Kraven in disguise) on the news.

Peter Parker regains consciousness up in an unmarked grave all dramatic…use this as a storyboard.

He’s still in the suit, so he gets right to kicking everyone’s ass, even Vulture’s & Lizard’s (they escaped jail). Then he finds Kraven…and there’s a big huge acrobatic showdown around New York.

Kraven reveals his scheme to best Spider-Man rather than kill him…because Kraven is all about sport, hubris, and warped delusions of a legacy. Spidey kicks his ass and Kraven goes to jail. It would be cool if Kraven would rather commit suicide than lose, but it’s gotta be PG13, I understand. So on the way to jail, Kraven escapes and disappears. Then Spider-Man makes out with Mary Jane.

Also, don’t fuck with Kraven’s outfit. It’s perfect the way it is…same goes for Vulture’s and Lizard’s.

And get Malkovich as Vulture. Maybe that guy from Deadwood as Kraven.

Sam,

If you follow all this criteria, I promise that Spider-Man 4 will make a billion dollars opening night.

Do you like boobs, booze and a good time?  Well Frank 151 is throwing a party this Thursday, June 25th for their Erotica issue that was art directed by Lysa Cooper.  It’s going to be a fun night, so RSVP to erotica@frank151.com.

I have some work in this issue as well! (posted a couple months ago).

Eric’s track suit = LOLZ. After a so-so sophmore season premiere, True Blood proves they still got it with an episode perfectly mixing the humor and suspense we’ve come to expect. The show is moving at break-neck speed compared to last season’s crawling build-up: Jason is off to Fellowship of the Sun cult-camp (where it looks like the stage is being set for the vampire-fundamentalist Christian war), Lafayette is at the mercy of Eric, Maryann has the proverbial wool pulled over Tara’s eyes, and there’s already a grip of tension as Bill helps Jessica assimilate into her new vampire life. That ended in Jessica baring her fangs to her parents, which looks like we’ll see more next week.

I’m really digging the mystery surrounding the Maryann character. We really know nothing about her motives or what the fuck she is, but we do know she uses sex to her advantage. Last week we saw how she seduced Sam and this week she damn near turned Merlotte’s into an orgy straight out of a Marquee de Sade story (Andy Bellefleur dancing like a crackhead was pretty trippy). Why would Tara trust her? It seems out of character for someone as jaded as her to trust anyone, let alone this magical ol’ bitch.

Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette) is hands-down the strongstest actor in this cast, so it’s a good chance he’s going to stick around for a long time. I really hope he goes vampire, I really want to see him tending bar at Fangatasia.

Thanks Donkey Rhubarb for the picture tip:

The Mars Volta – Octahedron (2009) [Warner Bros.] // Grade: D+

If Octahedron’s goal was to portray a band growing more and more bored with itself track by track until the merciful conclusion… then this is a Homerun. Come on guys, you’re better than this!
