THE FP: Dreadful Dialogue Damages Dance-Dance Dystopia
It was really hard for me to get past the dialogue in The FP. 75 percent of the time it’s downright atrocious. It’s like listening to someone who learned how to talk from watching Katt Williams stand-up. I understand it’s tongue-in-cheek but that didn’t make it any easier to sit through. It sucks too because apart from the party-pooping dialogue, I really dug everything else about Jason and Brandon Trost’s bizarro Dance-Dance Revolution dystopian gang film. The film is a great example of really talented people taking a totally ridiculous and silly concept, playing it straight the entire way through, and coming out the other end with a distribution deal and mountains of word-of-mouth hype. If only every other word out of those mouths wasn’t “…and shit” or “nigga” then I would have enjoyed The FP a bit more.

‘GTA TV’ and ‘Rockstar TV’ Trademarked By Take Two. WHAT COULD IT MEAN?!
Take Two has trademarked both “GTA TV” and “Rockstar TV”, and Jesus Christ who knows what this could mean. It’s interesting, since the GTA series is so highly influenced by our pop-culture. While simultaneously generating it in video game form. Now it’ll be generating it in TV form…to generate it…to…to…

Now Listening: Hodgy, Domo Genesis And Tyler, The Creator – Rella
New OFWGKTA in the house! As ever, I’m torn. Their genuine insanity, ingenuity, and do-it-yourself monstrosities blow me away. At the same time, they’re so overtly (even if they’re the worst thing of all, ‘only kidding’) sexist and homophobic that I have to cringe through my grins.
Hit the jump to check out their new video. It’s fucking insane.
