Hmm... how to describe this movie...Well first off, I'll say that it really did kick-ass. A high school kid decides he wants to be a superhero just to do something about the crap that goes on in the city that everyone else just stands back and watches (or records on their cell phones and posts on YouTube). He doesn't have super powers and barely any fighting ability, but he is a hero in the sense that he is trying to do good, which also makes him a little insane, but that's not really part of the story. You mix in gratuitous violence and pervasive language and you've got sort of a cross between Superbad and Ninja Assassin. Oh yeah, it's that good. Oddly, the parts that made me cringe the most weren't the over-the-top fighting scenes, but the scenes where the hero is spending time with this girl he likes who only spends time with him because she thinks he's gay. Now that was painful. And hilarious. News

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

@wired I only use Gmail to manage my Contacts. Today was the first time I had seen the new interface. I couldn't find the Contacts.

@jessiechar The scary thing is, most hipsters don't know they're hipsters.// How ironic.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
