Is it 'alt' to go to the movies to see mainstream summer blockbusters? Feel like people who 'go to the movies' and 'build their weekly schedules around television shows' make me sad, because they represent how people don't have any thing 2 do, so we just have 2 waste time watching things 2 keep us from thinking about how sad we all are on the inside. Sort of prefer 'wasting time on the internet' because we are all trying to get vulnerable and 'show the world who we are.'

It makes me feel sad when people outsource their personal brands to 'fictional tales.' Like when bros invest in storm trooper costumes, or when teens 'get pregnant' just because the popular movie Juno did it. I wish we could all be individuals, instead of 'feeling pressured to see a kewl movie' because every1 is talking about it. Sort of reminds me of JokerAlts.

Not even sure if Star Trek is 'good.' I just remember it was a television show or something, then they cancelled it for Frasier or 2 Guys A Girl and 1 Cup of Pizza.

Should I see that movie about Wolverines and X-people? Feel out of touch with society. Sort of wish I could build a time machine, and see Jurassic Park / Independence Day /Garden State / Where the Wild Bros Are for the first time again. Sort of dreading 'being a cool dad' but having to 'sell out' and take my kids 2 see 'shitty movies' to feel like they are 'normal.' Might only allow my kid to watch DVDs from the Criterion Collection.

XX BONUS NAPPY DYNAMITE SIGHTING XX

Does n e 1 know what ever happened to the Napoleon Dynamite bro? I think he found a way 2 clone himself or something. Think they will probably use the 'clone gimmick' in Napoleon Dynamite Pt 2: Pedro's Revenege [via Swine Flu {sub-Via Mexis}].

Don't u h8 it when u think ur watching authentic art, but it turns out 2 b a commercial?

Yall, I was watching this new Crystal Castles video

</embed>

but then it turned out 2 be a Toshiba commercial trying to get me to buy a new computer screen for my Macbook Lappy.

Reminds me of the time that I thought I was watching an 'authentic viral video' but it ended up being a popular scene from the alt-gone-mainstream indie comedy 'Napoleon Dynamite: the Story of a Zany Bro with a Mexi bff.'

</embed>

h8 it when I am misled when I thought I was watching something authentic.

Just wanted to hear some Crystal Castles/Alice Glass vocals/deep samples, and see a well-executed video. One time I read in a magazine that 'advertising' is the 'master art.' These days, I kinda wonder if blogging is the 'master art.'

(For those of yall who don't know, the 'master art' is a term 4 the most authentic way for a human 2 express himself/humanity. Some people say it's politics. Others say science. Some say it's organic farming. I think it has something 2 do with the internet/HTML/web 2.0).

Maybe Crystal Castles = the 'master art'

Wonder what Crystal Castles bought with their royalties?
a) new hoodies
b) ice cream headz (different flavours)
c) new laptops
d) renewed their photoshop license
e) a lil bit of eye makeup
f) leggings with holes in them
g) indoor soccer shoes
h) an AZN

I need 2 find a new tshirt that represents my personal brand

I used to wear this shirt a lot when I was in elementary school and none of the other lil alts had free-spirited parents who took them to cutting edge indie films.

But now I'm grown up and I think I want 2 b a little bit more honest with myself.

I remember when I was going through my Linkin Park/wearing black trench coats era, I used 2 wear a shirt like this every day. (I also didn't wear deodorant & rubbed Hot Pocket grease on to my face).

I kinda wish they had sold this shirt in Hot Topic to more accurately portray my personal brand.

What are some other classic t-shirts?


1. Every one loves a ________ Girl?
a) Mexi
b) AZN
c) whitey
d) Jewish
e) Afrikaans
f) alt
g) entry level mainstreamer alt
h) C.Y.O.Response
i) Blippies
k) Mainstream
l) Crombie
m) depressed so u can take advantage of them & control their self-worth


2. ___________ is my homeboy
a) CRLS
b) my cool dad
c) Stephen Aoker
d) The Justices
e) The French Teenager Band
f) The American Band of Jonas Brothers
g) AZNs
h) those sillie Chinese people who are having that Olympic thingy
i) a party picbro
j) the CEO of Microsoft/Chili's/Google/Sparks/iPod Computers
k) The Keut Girl in HeartsRevvy/CrystalCastles
l) C.Y.O.Response

Discovered: A Rare Creature from an Electro Jungle

I used to be really into science, so I figured I should start blogging more about animals, cells, organisms, planets, Earth, the universe, STDs, AIDs, diabetes, 'getting fucked up' on a molecular level, Gorillas that have computer voice boxes, chemistry, physics, calculus and other stuff like that.

What happens when ur natural habitat is an electro jungle? Your skin turns into neon camouflage. Ur feet adapt and form gellie paws. When u get pregnant, ur formative-lil-alt-babie starts to form in what looks like a quirky fanny pack. In order to avoid loud music during ur child's formative stages, u climb up into the trees to hide from electro jungle predators.

Be careful in electro jungles, yall. While most creatures are just 'lookin to have a good time, hear some good tunes, and dance', there are some legitimate predators that need 2 be feared.

Movies that Look Lame


I've been seeing a lot of ads for this 'quirky' looking film. I finally decided to watch the trailer to see if it was as hollow and gimmicky as the JUNO typeface.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0SKf0K3bxg&rel=1]
Are they trying to confuse the viewers into thinking it's a more serious Napoleon Dynamite? How was the Juno writer able to create a NappyDynamite type world that offers the potential for introspection on a level similar to Garden State.

I think the lead girl seems a little bit too GenXer. Sort of like Jeanenne Garrafalo in the body of a 16 year old. Does the tail end of Generation Y need a movie about teen pregnancy? I'd like to think most of us know that a kid would kill our opportunity to not take life seriously.

Oh well. I guess this is probably just modern production design on a typical movie. I prefer this aesthetic:

Does "Napoleon Dynamite: The Animated Series" look funnie/authentic?
</embed>

Napoleon Dynamite is a quirkwave indie comedy from between 2-10 years ago. I can't tell how old stuff from the indie era is any more. Anyways, I guess the creators and castmembers finally 'hit rock bottom' and they are ready to make some cash by creating Napoleon Dynamite: The Animated Series. I guess if shows like The Simpsons can be on the air for 20 years, why couldn't Nappy D be on the air for 50. I feel like animated shows are easy to produce/poop out, and even easier to cancel, so seems like this is a chill experiment.

It seems like Nappy D, Pedro the Mexican, and all of the other white trash ppl are 'up to the same old tricks.' Llamas. Quirkiness. Zaniness. Surreality. White ppl. I really hope there is a weird sex scene between [Character A] and [Character B]. I hope they [do something quirky]. I hope that Americans learn that we are a lot like Nappy and his gang of misfits.

Does this animated series 'look funnie'?
Was Nappy D authentically funnie + progressive?
Will this show be good for its historical brand?
Did John Heder's career 'tank'?
Will this be the #1 show on TV?
Do u prefer King of the Hill/Fam Guy/Adult Swim shit?
Do u only watch cartoons if they are Pixar-wave?
Do u feel sad that Pedro the Mexi's career never 'took off'?

Some NBA player tries 2 be alt by doing a Napoleon Dynamite impression


Matt Bonner is a 3 point specialist on the San Antonio Spurs. For some reason, I think all NBA players who aren't auto-selected 2 the annual All Star Game have 2 try 2 'go viral' in order to get in, so Matt Bonner did some impression of the indie tween comedy Napoleon Dynamite. From what I have heard, Matt Bonner is known as one of the altest dudes in the NBA because he listens 2 indie music.

He was once spotted on the popular alt blog Gorilla Vs. Bear at a relevant event, captured in a polaroid, as if he were a buzzband.

Do u think this video will help him to become more NBA-relevant than LeBron James?
Did his impression of Nappy Dynamite 'crush it'?
NBA Matt Bonner hipster indie NApoleon Dynamite

Do yall think he shoulda hired 2 Mexis instead of these 2 white bros to play the role of Pedro?

Who is the alt-est NBA player?
Matt Bonner?
Ron Artest?
Adam Morrison?
Grant Hill [via the 1990s]?
Steve Nash?
Dennis Rodman?
Chris "Birdman" Anderson?

Napoleon Dynamite Cartoon Show coming to FOX. Will it ‘flop’?


Napoleon Dynamite is a popular comedy from the year 2004. It featured a borderline retarded high school student who became friends with a Mexican bro, then helped him become the first latino President of the United States of America [via the "Vote for Pedro Campaign"]. Because of the 'sympathy' you felt for the 'mentally and socially challenged' in this picture, it was branded as a comedy,

Fox is developing an animated series based on the 2004 movie "Napoleon Dynamite," the network confirmed.

Napoleon Much of the original cast is on board for the TV version, including Jon Heder and Efran Ramirez, along with filmmakers Jared and Jerusha Hess. Clearly if Fox greenlights the project, it will be destined for its Sunday lineup.

It seems like there is a whole new market for 'adults who never grew up' so they still watch cutting edge cartoons on the Cartoon Network, South Park, Family Guy, and maybe even the Simpsons Family of Yellow Ppl.

Was Nappy Dynamite even 'that' funny, or just quirky, hollow bullshit for mainstreamers trying to be alt?
Wonder if Nappy Dynamite will be 'successful' as a cartoon, or if they should have it preserved as a 'cult indie comedy classic'?
Will the Napoleon Dynamite cartoon ruin their 'brand' or will it just end up selling more Vote for Pedro tshirts at Hot Topic?
If u went to HS with Nappy D, would u vote for Pedro, or would you make sure every1 elected was white?
Did Pedro's election in the film 'open the door' for the real life election of fellow minority Barrack Obama?

Do u feel like this is a lifeline for 'Efran Ramirez' since he probably couldn't get any work besides 'playing a Mexi who talked like a stereotypical Chicano'?
Does n e 1 know what type of special needs Napoleon Dynamite had?
Are people who were 'way into Nappy Dyny' losers who 'didn't understand comedy'?
Does n e 1 know what kind of people still watch cartoons? Kids?

Do tweens just watch the Disney channel and MTV now?
Are cartoons just for adults who 'never grew up' and are sort of sad people with pseudo-jobs, but not a 'real career'? [via the 17-38 year old bros who work at your local Game Stop/Costco/Wal Mart and either live with their parents or in some sad apartment complex and eat microwavable food]
Do u wish u could go back in time to when u were one of the first people to see Napoleon Dynamite in 'limited release'?
What's ur fave Nappy Dynamite quote?
