How To Play Frisbee All By Yourself (and other trick shots)

iaui says...

Well, this fellow is very white, frisbee golf just seems like a very white thing to do, and partly I'm channeling Bill Burr's rant walking throughout Newport as he spouts hyperbolically about white privilege and then there's a motorhome driving through that he refers to as white trash. This fellow definitely isn't white trash, but there's a certain blissful socio-economically absurd trashyness/kitsch to a black and orange painted motorhome driving around with a frisbee golf cage on it, like the world's things are but toys in this man's sway. There's just this feel that pervades the short films, like we're seeing another of the Winkelvoss twins at play. He reminds me of a friend in university who learned to play Mario Tennis on the N64 against himself, each hand with a separate controller.

He's just so absurdly (yet innocently) white, in such a way as to be deserving of light ribbing. There's clearly an ineffable quality that I'm struggling to describe but do you know what I mean, even partly?

Australians Try Outback Steakhouse For The First Time

newtboy says...

This was classic! Hilarious that the creators have never been to Australia! That's just too good.
I've never found anything Australian about it, beyond the kitsch on the walls and the silly commercials.
I actually liked the bloomin' onion the first time I had it. These days I make it myself, and I think it's way better than going to outback. Beyond that one item, I've never thought anything I've eaten there was better than average, and often much worse....ribs included.

Mad Movies w/ The L.A.Connection ~ Zorro's Fighting Legion

chingalera says...

Used to watch this show one year when it was on the tube religiously-Wanted to open a drive-in theater b/t two college towns, art films, coffeehouse, kitsch food fare, and on weekends take the soundtrack out of a cheap-ass B-film and have voice-over actors with mikes up front doing the dialog-Would have popped, timings' a bitch, can still work though...Someone should take my idea and run the fuck off with it-

Grand Theft Auto V - First Gameplay Trailer

A Pop Culture Nostalgia Trip to the Year 1986

ChaosEngine says...

If you ask almost any metal fan (and even most open minded music fans), they will acknowledge that Master Of Puppets is a classic album of it's genre that still sounds as good today as it did when it came out.

Just wondering if anyone here feels that there are any other albums/songs of that era (preferably featured in the video) that still hold up in the same way, because I'm struggling to think of any.

And not ironic kitsch either... actual good music that if it was released today would still be regarded as good.

Maybe "graceland" or "Licenced to Ill"?

Also Charles Dance: being evil since ages ago!

This film should be seen by everyone

The Louis Experiment - What does it mean? (Standup Talk Post)

Ryjkyj says...

Oh sorry, I thought you were having a conversation, not masturbating.

Now that we all know how great you are for doing the wrong thing even though you're kind-of-sort-of against it, maybe I could just chime in to clarify:

First of all: I can read as well. I know you see a picture from a bad movie when I post. But that doesn't make your regurgitated diatribe about intellectual property rights that can be found anywhere on the internet where there is a dialog about torrents any more intelligent or original than what anyone else has to say.

Second: In no way am I deluded about the concept of intellectual property. I did not ever imply that Louie C.K.'s work has no value. In fact, I called it "stealing" to download it. I also closed my comment by saying that I probably wouldn't download the show.

And I am not under the impression that just because I can't hold something in my hand, that it has no value. All I said was that it's "silly" to think that experiencing someone's comedy can be a crime. The thing about the T.V. is merely to point out the insubstantial nature of the subject. When I go to buy a T.V., I can negotiate sometimes based on whether or not it's a floor model or still in the box. I can't ask a website for a discount if one of Louie's jokes is bad. And with a T.V., I can keep it for a while and then change my mind. Maybe I decide I don't like it and I want to sell it and use the money to pay for part of the next one. Or maybe I've decided to go to Thailand, and I sell the T.V. to my friend Bob for papaya-salad-money. The point is, the two things are different, not that one is worthless and the other isn't.

And you know what the biggest difference is? Someone should not be punished in anywhere near the same way for stealing five bucks worth of Louis C.K.'s material as they should be for breaking into a person's house and stealing their T.V.

Third: Louis C.K. is probably a multimillionaire. I wasn't trying to justify my behavior as much as correcting Kymbos for saying that he wasn't. But now that you mention it: I see that you steal based on DRM and other issues, but (and call me crazy if you want) when I steal, I take into account the financial status of the person I'm stealing from. It might not justify my behavior but it helps me sleep.

Fourth: I steal download things a lot of the time based on whether I think they are fairly priced. I loved the original Conan the Barbarian, mostly for it's kitsch-factor, but I still own the VHS. When the new one came out, I said to myself "that looks like a giant piece of crap taking a crap." So I downloaded it and you know what? I was right. Fuck them. I'm glad I didn't pay twenty-five dollars for ten-cents-worth of soda, two-cents-worth of popcorn and zero-cents-worth of nap time. And all just to grant some Hollywood producer his million dollar reward to play it safe.

One of my favorite things I've ever gotten for Christmas from my wife was the Criterion Collection edition of "Seven Samurai." I love it. It's got this great cover art that looks almost transparent even though it's printed on cardboard. I think it looks so good because it's taken from the original cellulose of the title screen but I don't know. It's also got a great supplemental book, a great CD of special features and anytime I want, I can sit down to three whole hours of good solid movie. I think it cost around sixty-dollars at the time we bought it and it was totally worth it. Meanwhile, somebody gave me the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean" DVD and the ugly yellow text on the menu alone is enough to make me want to burn it for the insult it does to people who paid good money for it.

And you know what else? I doubt that if Louis C.K. were to meet me, that he would hold it against me that I downloaded his show.

I guess I've rambled long enough. I just wanted to make the point that the issues involved with intellectual property are complicated but the concept is something that little children can grasp. So it might not be beneficial to the conversation to write off someone's point that you might disagree with simply because you want to sound righteous. Especially when in the end, you admit that it's all just stealing anyway.

PS: The last book I bought was the hardcover edition of "A Dance With Dragons". I paid the extra money because I find physical copies more satisfying, and I couldn't wait for the paperback.

a message to all neocons who booed ron paul

JiggaJonson says...

I'm with @quantumushroom on this one. If you're going to be so bold as to say "look at the world through the eyes of truth," and then make me watch a bunch of horrific clips set in a kitsch way to "What a Wonderful World" you need to be as and frank as you can be.

Part of that includes avoiding over-generalization that will distort fact.

Spiderman 3- The Jazz Club Dancing Scene

JiggaJonson says...

Meh, they turned the internal struggle spiderman was supposed to be having with the venom suit into a kitsch version of itself.

He's supposed to have the sudden urge to strangle the life out of the bank robber he just caught; not woo another woman with free form jazz dance to piss off Mary Jane.

Absolutely STUNNING nature timelapses

Kalle says...

The timelapses are amazing but i dont think they are beautiful at all.

The truth is that a lot of videos on vimeo very often seem to be color corrected to death and tend to look like kitsch. Too sweet for me and the music just adds to it..
