Bombast #29

Having a real, marrow-deep, unqualified contempt for the Academy Awards is still a somewhat suspicious attitude to air in some (i.e. non-cinephile) social circles. To voice undisguised disgust for this mortifying bit of televised offal is to risk looking like one of those “I don’t even own a TV” people, to show, through “Bah, humbug” spirit, that one holds one’s self as better than the jolly simulcast holidays imposed upon America by the mandarins of our degraded pop culture.

Monkey Business: What to Watch in February

We made it! The first month of 2012 is out the window, and in comes wonderful February. The second month of the year gets a bad rep for being pretty insignificant (it is the shortest and coldest and grimmest), but there are some good things that happen in its twenty-eight days. What better way to celebrate them all than with some movies?
