Let the Right One In





Let the Right One in is a Swedish horror film based on a 2004 novel. It follows two outsider twelve-year-olds and their vampire on human love. No cheese, a healthy amount of gore, and a happy ending, sort of. Oskar, the main character, is a bullied young man with a decided taste for violence and vengeance. His vampire Eli encourages him to hit back, hard and their friendship soon turns into Oskar's crush.
And when they're not hanging out, Eli is going around tearing people apart.

It really is a compelling way to look at the classic tale of vampires. The childish tone of it all just adds to the sinister affect. The movie is slow to start, it is pretty artsy, lots of shots of blood being spilled and pre-teen bodies (you even see indiscriminate vampire private parts). It also shows the outskirts of Sweden in a dark and beautiful way, draping the landscapes in snow in the darkness of night which seems to come in the afternoon.

It is an excellent film and is available on Watch Instantly now on netflix. They're making an English version in 2010 but I'm going to assume the original is better, so go now.

Also on Watch Instantly, Singin' in the Rain. So fucking good.

House of Style

This is one of the more informed clips of the 90s House of Style, hosted by Cindy Crawford. The rest of the shows were incredible too, lots of great music in between clips and an insight into the fashion world of the times, when super models were super duper and not super hungry, and the clothes were getting wackier, more tye dyed and flowery.
P.S. she's at mohonk moutain house. hey mohonk hey.
Putting the record straight that MIA wasn't the first of her kind.
Neneh Cherry is one of the iconic 90s fashion out of Stockholm, still DJing and singing today. We just don't hear about her.

O... Damn



incredible

i want to be a basketball player (part.2)

To day the Orlando magic got their ass beat by the celtics. Rafer Alston(a.k.a Skip to my Lou)was ejected from the game after smacking house in the head when he shot a free throw in his face. I want to be Alston right now more than anything.
