We’ve been obsessed with Quentin Tarantino’s spaghetti western/slave vengeance/southern flick Django Unchained since it was first announced. We clearly had some strong opinions on it when we saw it (read our review), so it’s not surprising the film still dominates our thoughts. That’s why our ears perked up when we came across these action figures […]

Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained is, in a single word, brutal. Unflinchingly, gorily, misanthropically, even gleefully brutal, to a point that a couple scenes were so ruthless they will churn your guts. Now I survived Irreversible, so that’s saying a lot. This observation is neither a complaint nor praise, but rather a (obvious?) comment on a […]

They’re dedicated to making this cultural bouillabaisse accessible to all […]

In his Fall Casino collection Kimmel collaborates with New York visual artist […]

Here’s a short video someone took of Charles Bukowski driving around his old haunts of Hollywood & Western, and talking about all the characters that informed his stories. And life. Hookers, killers, thieves, barflies, the whole lot. Why? Cos it teaches you where humanity is…you never quite wanna forget who they are, where they come […]
