No more 2009!
Bye Bye 2009, you were arguably the worst year ever, and bye bye 2000s. What’s nice about my birthday is that decades coincide, relatively, with my age, so a short requiem for most of my 20s + the 2000s: I started the year as a kid, I ended it as a woman. Ha! New year = so many amazing new plans.

britticisms: Check out Rachel Antonoff’s homage to the “Top That” scene in Teen Witch, featuring Antonoff and Alia Shawkat from Arrested Development. So much awesome going on in this clip. Less a homage and more of a scene-by-scene recreation, only this time, with Rachel Antonoff’s clothes complimenting the scene. (via gotagirlcrush//Teen Vogue)

Chat Movie Reviews
natashavc: I think the format works so well because: *this is how people talk about movies! You see a movie and you’re like “omg, let’s talk about it”. Also, movies are such a hypnotic event that you want to tap the person next to you and be like “AHHH DID YOU SEE THAT TOO!?” *the medium itself is -either rightly or wrong- informal so a ‘chat’ about it feels more approiate than a thesis driven...

Better Than/Worse Than:
britticisms: Is it worse to be unemployed, underemployed, or over-employed? Is it worse to be unemployed, to lose one’s sense of self-worth, to constantly live in fear, to have no money and rely on the kindness of others, to amass endless amounts of free time that no longer are pleasurable as the weather gets colder, to gain weight by consuming food to fill the void that work and its sense of...

Films You Should See: Reprise
Since it’s the pop culture time of year for lists, and this year being a special year of best-ofs and the like, I’ve been thinking about things I’ve loved.

(It also renders any American films about YOUTH, in particular, “mumblecore,”...

Oscars follow-up
Don’t forget, secret killer: Sandy Bullock and The Blind Side. Sleeper hit! Older ladies (parents I know) raving about it! Bested New Moon! It’s Precious’ Christian cousin! I bet Bullock gets a nom and this sneaks into Best Picture.
