The 19-plus worst films of 2009 - A.V.Club.com

4. Paper Heart

Comedian/performance artist/flibbertigibbet Charlene Yi dithers over whether she’ll ever experience the emotion we humans call “love,” while director Nicholas Jasenovec cuts between scenes of his star interviewing everyday Americans and blatantly staged scenes of her embarking on a new relationship. From the “what is love” premise to the “what is real?” structure, Paper Heart plays like a movie dreamed up by people who were very, very high at the time. Which would be fine if they weren’t also the kind of people who think of “love” in an elementary-school, passing-notes-at-lunch kind of way, and not in a way that has anything to do with commitment, responsibility, sharing, nurturing, and—not incidentally—sex. When they grow up (or sober up), Yi and Jasenovec ought to find this movie awfully embarrassing.

Man, remember when this movie was the darling of the indie crowd.

FuckYeahBigTen, we hardly knew ye.

Why would we do that? The only change is going to be they’re going to have to make a Big Ten Logo with a hidden 12 instead of 11.

Looking back, I should have bought a Rutgers t-shirt when I was in Newark. The Big Ten wants that New York / East Coast money.

It’s the 2000’s, ‘the aughts’ just sounds stupid (I’m looking at you BBC.com).

2000’s refers to a whole century, stick with the 00’s (pronounced “the ohs”).

That might apply if we were looking back hundreds of years (1700’s, 1800’s etc.). You wouldn’t say the 1900’s referred the entire 20th century, only 1900-1909.

An unfortunate consequence of being tall

With some ties, getting the correct length to knot size ratio is impossible. To get the length right, I end up with a tiny ass knot and the tail doesn’t reach the loop on the back side.To get a good knot, I end up looking like a Capone-era ganster.

Holy crap I have this same problem. I love being tall and all, but seriously.

But I do think they make ties specifically for this problem, though

The work issue navy tie at my last job was the worst. In order to get a full respectable looking windsor I had to make it where the back end of the tie was like 3 inches long. I usually just ended up tucking it in between the buttons of my shirt so I didn’t look like an extra in the 3 Stooges.

And whats the deal with dress shirts? To get the proper length they have to be cartoonishly wide ( at least that’s my experience)

(via somethingchanged)

Jane Austen (or Bronte Sisters)

Girls who made out with other girls in college when they were going through a “phase”.

while I agree with Faulkner, Palahniuk and Klosterman (and 99% of these assignments), I disagree with the Twain comment. Letters From the Earth was for a long time, one of my favorite books, so fuck off. As a recovering Catholic, if it’s written by “Lucifer,” I’m so down.

As a guy who enjoys Tolstoy and Dostoevsky I fully endorse this list. But I disagree with her assessment of Pierre Buzukhov, the guy tied a cop to a bear and threw them into a river, at a party. Later he pulls kids out of burning building and then goes toe to toe with French soldiers while Moscow burns around him.
