On Three Handjobs Is A Trend
I would like to furtively nominate Scarlett Johnansson in A Love Song For Bobby Long for some top notch "male-on-female digital dealings." Recommended viewing for anyone interested in this sensitive area.

On David Bowie's Forgotten, Campy Berlin Gigolo Movie
@Dylan Edwards@twitter Au contraire, I'd almost forgotten about this film and I've certainly never sat through it all. Excellent run-through. It seems like the artefacts of Bowie's golden age is going into a period of hypercommodification at the moment and there's only a limited number of things to be said about his records and a limited number of times the phrase "chameleon-like" can be employed. Still not sure I can watch this film though.
The off-key slapstick style described here sounds a bit like The Strange World of Gurney Slade, an Anthony Newley TV series from 1960 which was apparently a big influence on Bowie. Also on YouTube and worth a look if you have half an hour to spare.

On Our Top 11 Movies to Skip This Holiday Season
@LondonLee Yep, the music works nicely with the setting and there's lots of lovely Trish Keenan vocals. I believe the s/t's coming out on Warp in Jan.

If you can, try Berberian Sound Studio. Good family fun for all ages (if you're a fan of Eraserhead and Polanski's The Tenant). Not sure it's got any proper US release yet, though...

On Look Back in Eyeliner: Three Girls at a Duran Duran Sleepover in 1984
Simon summers on Ibiza. The rumours are that, despite his substantial girth, he attends parties in tight speedos and has become the archetype of the character know in England as Mr. Cantgiveitup. Yasmin often appears tired and irritable.

On Anthony Burgess: "We Have a Duty to Distrust the State"
Nice one, but of course in this crazy mixed-up world in which we live in this reads more like a manifesto for the Tea Party than anything else.

On Two Early Poems By Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt
@Virginia Purvis@facebook The cat got chased off the mat by a freaking rat and was so scared it never returned. What is wrong with you? Since when did the rat sit (or sleep) on the rat. Disturbing.
