White House Says Obama Will Definitely Veto CISPA. Word?
Word out of the White House is that President Obama will veto CISPA. At this point though, I’m not certain that shit even matters. Hard to imagine the Determined Parties not soldiering on, continually throwing spaghetti until some of it sticks.

Cosplay: ‘HALF-LIFE 2’ Gordon Freeman and Alyx Give No F**ks
With each passing day, I become more and more certain I will never play Half-Life 3. My mortal coil shall be shed before the title’s release in 2022, and never will I know the conclusion. It depresses me. Gordon Freeman? Alyx Vance? They don’t really give two-tugs about it. Look at them hanging out in Target, buying some Blu-Rays and a couple of really neat-looking bowls to put spaghetti in. The easy life.

Drug Smuggler Hides Cocaine In Xbox 360; Would You Believe He Fails?
Carlos Valenzuela is a drug smuggler who had the idea to crack open an Xbox 360 and fill the son of a bitch with cocaine. Unfortunately you know how imperial blockades go, and the dude got pulled over. Shit didn’t really go well after that.
You Can Now Legally KILL BIGFOOT In Texas. Outstanding.
I don’t know about you, but I’m really friggin’ concerned with Bigfoot. The son of a bitch is all out there, starring in beef jerky advertisements and haunting our woods. The people of Texas share my concern. They share this concern so much they’ve made it legal to cap the motherfucker.
‘THE AVENGERS’ (Hulk) SMASHES All-Time Domestic Box Office Opening Weekend Gross. Hell Yeah.
Hellllllllll yeah. Avengers has broken the all-time domestic box office opening, farting on all those that dared come before it. Big, green Hulkian farts, flinging witty quips of disparagement as it does so.
Strange Moments in Solid Movies: The Trial By Atomic Bomb
Orson Welles’ The Trial is one of the great cinematic examples of style over substance, a work whose striking aesthetic overshadows many narrative considerations for the viewing audience. Although such a description is typically applied detrimentally, this film’s particular want of substance is precisely modulated. An adaptation of Franz Kafka’s novel, The Trial exhibits the logic of dreams/nightmares more than the logical mechanics of traditional storytelling; so what is shown will inherently trump anything that is explained (or explainable). In turn, navigating its dilapidated world of unusual (camera) angles, ominous surroundings, and haunting silhouettes, the audience yearns for clarity, just like protagonist Joseph K (Anthony Perkins) does. And just as The Trial is not a conventional story, the story contains no conventional trial, wherein an actualized attainability of justice is unworkable and idealistic notions like “nothing but the truth” are broken down to nothingness.
