The Marvel cinematic onslaught continues

Are you a Marvel fan? What’s that, of course you say? Well then this summer’s definitely going to be comic nerd bonanza for you as the upstart film studio drops Iron Man 3, Wolverine and now Thor: The Dark World all by Oscar season. The sequel to 2011′s Thor, the film once again stars Chris Hemsworth, [...]


While the first Wolverine movie disappointed, anyone who read the Marvel comic as a kid knows the Mariko storyline from the seminal Chris Claremont and Frank Miller limited series Wolverine was one of the best from the 1980s.

In our humble opinion, there is no better hip-hop party album ever recorded than the Pharcyde’s stellacular Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde. It is pure celebration in sonic form (oh how many brain cells we’ve happily surrendered to “Oh Shit”).

They feature select lyrics re-imagined from Morrissey’s mind — from tracks like “How Soon Is Now” and “Louder Than Bombs” — and translates them visually, exuding a retro [...]


One of our favorite daily reading websites is without a doubt Grantland. Founded and helmed by Bill Simmons — author of Now I Can Die In Peace, The Book Of Basketball and a sports writer without equal — Grantland serves as the nexus of where sports collides with pop culture, and explodes in a fireworks [...]

Same Shit Different Day for Fall/Winter 201

COOP‘s artwork is tough to beat, a rockabilly influenced collage of voluptuous devil women, tire-churning hot rods and plenty of bad thrills. We covered the COOP Exhibit when it hit Culver City back in 2009 and have paid close attention since. Now the Los Angeles artist otherwise known as Chris Cooper has teamed up with fellow [...]
