Beasts of the Southern Wild

"What? I'm the youngest person ever to be nominated for Best Actress?"

There’s a big problem taking place at the end of 2012: very few people are talking about the best movie of the year. Argo was great, but it you want to see something even better and devoid of any Hollywood cheese, go see Beasts of the Southern Wild. Where Shawn of the Dead can be classified as a drama/comedy/zombie/romantic film, BOTSW can be labelled a drama/children’s fantasy/period piece/geographical film that will revitalize your hope in humanity, authentic films and child acting. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen the entire time and sat in my chair for minutes afterwards. Watch.

Ticketmaster. Not cool.



You're not a god ticketmaste

Some companies are essentially monopolies, in that they conquer so much of the market that they immediately pop in our heads as the head honcho. For buying music online it's iTunes. For pop it's Coke. For tickets it's Ticketmaster. Whereas we all dig iTunes and Coke, we don't like Ticketmaster. Why? You wait forever on the phone, their website is never straightforward, the human verification words are always convoluted as s**t and I'm sorry, why I do need go through with Ticketmaster all the f**king time? They get too much money from musicians and fans.
