REVIEW: Meet Little Fockers, the Threequel from Hell

Posted on December 20, 2010 by | Comments Off on REVIEW: Meet Little Fockers, the Threequel from Hell

I’m not saying the legacy of Meet the Parents deserved the protection of cinematic landmark status. But it does seem like a shame that what was there to protect has been ground into an unrecognizable pulp and reshaped into a grotesque of its former self. Who knows what kind of reputation the 2000 hit might have developed had well enough been left alone: A clever, well-cast execution of an old setup, it might have stood as a charming keeper, an example of that rare comedy that records a couple of memorable notes on the social anxieties of its time.

It’s time to stop prohibition, enable a free society!

Posted on September 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on It’s time to stop prohibition, enable a free society!

The Flower contrasts a utopian society that freely farms and consumes a pleasure giving flower with a society where the same flower is illegal and its consumption is prohibited. The animation is a meditation on the social and economic costs of marijuana prohibition.

Posted on June 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This has been circulating for a few weeks, but THG only just found it thanks to the social networking marvel that is Twitter, and just had to share with you. The gist: An individual was so plastered in broad daylight at this spring’s Coachella Festival that they could not locate their flip flops right in front of them. Amazingly, it’s not Lindsay Lohan ! This poor guy, apparently on his way to a portable bathroom of some kind, may have wanted to find an IV instead. Check it out if you need a good laugh: Hammered at Coachella Thanks go out to Twitter, and specifically pro tennis star Andy Roddick, for sharing this with us.
