7vs7: Mah ingredients from Remi Olsen on Vimeo.

The Ryouche challenged me to follow this meme, and I am always one to take on a good challenge. After the cut is EW’s top 100 “new classic” movies of the past 25 years. I’ve bolded the ones I’ve seen (70 of them) and commented on the ones where I have anything edifying to come up with. So suck it! (more…)

… Carl Barks…

Fun facts about Barks: The rolling stone scene at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was taken straight from an Uncle Scrooge story, as “admitted” by George Lucas in the first Barks compendium. (Which incidentally was released by a few of the Star Wars producers’ publishing house.)

Carl Barks is, probably, The Remi’s favorite author and artist.

The good: De Leon is open downtown!

The bad: But only Monday-Friday, 7am-6pm.

Too bad; this could be the ultimate late night dining place downtown.

• Shit: Acceptable on basic cable. See It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and That Mitchell and Webb Look.
• Piss: Acceptable on network TV. See Family Guy.
• Fuck: Acceptable on premium cable. See… anything on HBO. My guess is that we’ll soon hear it on basic cable.
• Cunt: Well… It was used in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO. I really don’t see the big deal, but hey…
• Cocksucker: Premium cable.
• Motherfucker: Premium cable.
• Tits: Premium cable? Or basic cable? I can’t remember ever hearing it on basic cable.

I still think Carlin’s finest moment as an actor was as a cardinal in Dogma.

OK, so it’s pointless posting this here as both my readers already know it, but what the hell… My eyes are tired from Mario Kart.

I finally launched something on Hip as Fuck. How could I not? It might be the finest domain name anybody has seen, ever! The site will probably serve as a clearing house for the many, many, many iluvspokane projects, starting with the 7vs7 thing. (My ingredients can be seen riiiight below.)

I will be honest here, I’m becoming slightly concerned I’ll crash and burn on the first day. This might shock you, but I’m a weak man! I really really am! Like right now, I’m craving a Dr Pepper, which I’m out of, and I’m freaking out! How am I going to survive on seven ingredients?! The Urban Honking people are dropping off like flies! (Only two left.)

Eh, we’ll see I suppose.

Or as it is, Bud Light Chelada.

It truly was the next step in craftsman brewing: you have the beer, you’ve infused it with lime… Of course the next step is to put clamato juice into the mix.

I’ll be honest here; I can not taste the clam part of the mix, and surprisingly enough not the rich rich flavor of Bud Light either. In fact, the dominant taste here is definitely the tomato part. And what’s wrong with that? Nothing, that’s what!

The only problem I can find with Bud Light Chelada is that it only comes in large cans. (Surprisingly enough not in bottles!) This makes it a bit harder to finish before the whole thing goes warm and chemically. But then again, just drink it faster, people!
