I didn’t believe this. I thought: “Ha! Trash Parody!”
But it is true. The Librarian: Quest for the Spear really exists as an actual film soon to be advertised near you.
There is now a serious competition in the word of adventure/romance cinema. Who will be the first to trash everything in one ninety minute feature? [...]

We have been kicking around some of the problems of the Australian film industry. In case we think that anyone is better (like the Americans, for instance), some anonymous Hollywood cynic has put together Query Letters I Love.
It is a way for the jaded fungoids who read unsolicited manuscripts to post the most appalling ideas [...]

“I live in the suckiest place on earth, a shit hole in alaska. I have a wide viritey of interests and talents.”
According to Glassdog, where I found these links, [...]

Ukrainian television has been a lapdog of the regime for a long time. During the election it consistently pounded Yuschenko in favour of the government’s Yanukovych.

While the announcer churned out [...]

I know so many of you have travelled, flitting from pleasuredome to pleasuredome, protected by nothing except travel insurance.
Here is a list of the best and worst parks in the world, according to an American magazine. They miss such wonderfully restful spots as the Square of Heroic Post-feudalism in Lhasa, or the fine Seventh [...]

One small inspiring story from the Ukraine.
“We were told that she went up to the guards in front of the entrance, guards in full riot gear, masks and shield, in ranks twenty deep. She went up to one and said, “I am a babushka [translated roughly as "grandmother" but used for every older woman [...]
