Wed, 07 May 2008 17:34:41 -0800 green porno ...um. this is too weird/good/disturbing to not post. isabella rossellini has written, produced, directed and starred in these green porno shorts and...well. they're really educational - they show how insects reproduce. uh...graphically. hilariously. ...did i mention graphically? the thing is - they're completely brilliant. the costumes and puppets are really neat. it's just...well, you'll see.

firefly is safe for work. the other ones, ESPECIALLY bee and snail are not.

IRON MAN.

Fri, 02 May 2008 09:58:55 -0800 this american life, live just got back from the live screening of 'this american life' and it was so so good! the hangman and anagram pre-show animation (that replaced the typical pre-movie trivia slideshow) was funny and clever and the show itself was fantastic. some outtakes and clips were shown from the new season of the showtime tv series version of the show - the chris ware clip was adorable and the segment about the 'ask an iraqi' booth was brilliant. and, as pat predicted, i totally have a crush on ira glass now. i can't wait to see the new season on sunday night!

presenting the new british currency. and it. is. AWESOME. the US's new currency? kinda janky. check out the 'history in your wallet' section of this feature about the new $5 bill. things just kind of went to hell in the 20th century didn't they? surely we can do better.
