YEAR OF THE ROBSTER CRAW [Video]

 

This is definitely one of the better fixie-vids I’ve seen in a while.  The tricks are nothing to write home about, but it features epic shots of two full-sized dudes riding a tandem little-girls bike, taunting a used condom, slamming sake-bombs, and the whole production is wrapped up with a shot of roasting marshmallows in a fireplace.  All this while rocking out to a solid track from The Horrors.

The Most Rented Movies in the Mission for 2009

The New York Times actually posted something somewhat interesting today: a google map of Netflix data telling us what zipcodes rented what in 2009.  I guess the Mission isn’t as ironic as I thought it was.  I definitely don’t “get” the pulse of the 94110 since I’ve only seen two of those movies.  So, for the ‘Mission douchebag’ demographic:

Kevin’s Most rented “legally watched” in 2009:

  1. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Seasons 1-5 and Xmas Special)
  2. Commando (1980s movie staring our governor, which is awesome by the way)
  3. The Rock (via SF pride)
  4. Fubar
  5. Daria (if you have not reconnected with this show yet, get on it)
  6. Dunno the rest.  Don’t actually think I watched anything else more than once, besides YouTube videos of cats/hampsters/lions eating lesser animals, of course.

Movie Review: Sorry, Thanks

I watched this movie about cool kids doing cool things in the Mission (sleeping in Boogaloos/standing in front of murals/hanging out in Dolores Park/eating burritos/drinking in the Attic/buying popcorn at The Roxie/having sex with girls who wear colorful Nikes) [don’t believe me?].  Dunno about it.  Felt like one of those “this movie isn’t really interesting but we’re going to hand draw all the posters so it looks indie and therefore you will think it is smart and witty and shit” movies.  “Life is meaningless, let’s fuck.”

Anyways, here is my 1000 word review:
