I, Anthony Marco, do solemnly swear not to buy lumber, paint, screws, tools, adhesives, spackle or caulk for as long as I have a semblance of brain control.
And because these lists are never THAT straight forward...
The answer is simple. Print ads used to be weird while trying to normal; this made them surreal and, by default, intriguing. Often not for their content, but instead through sheer disbelief.
Now print ads are trying to be weird... and that's just real. You can't beat disturbing obliviousness... of course, you can just disbelieve all of this and think of this as a fucked up old ads post.
And I couldn't skip this one. Surreal for content alone.
A different lovehate podcast about the magic of the monologue in film and life. Without trying to be too instructive, I hope to provide you some examples dramatic monologue and perhaps you'll be able to revel with me in the power of the spoken word.

I know that most people go to YouTube in order to find the populist clips of films, music, and television shows, but between the nfb.ca site and Vimeo, I'm going to YouTube less and less.
Give yourself four minutes to enjoy this third year film project from a Calarts student. I think anyone who's worked in an office can relate. There is just the right balance of pathos before the pay off that I couldn't help but smile. Please check out some great short films at Vimeo some day while you're at work instead of timesucking your breaks on YouTube.
You can't fake the funk. You can't beat the beat. You can't grift the groove. Gotta move your feet!
While almost everything else on lovehatethings is Creative Commons, this is not, and if the RIAA or any of the artists order me to take this down, I'll gladly comply. But until then, if you dig it, maybe you'll go and buy it, which will make everyone happy in the end.
My movie going heart died a little bit inside when I met (read: sat behind) a guy who became the definition of lowest common denominator.

A little mashup I made from the Creative Commons copyright-free Prelinger Archive at archive.org and some Rage Against the Machine. There's something to be said about a good juxtaposition: kickass music and mass destruction.
EDIT: Thanks to YouTube's copyright snitch algorithms, this video is not viewable in Germany. May I suggest my German friends watch this instead.
With all the recent talk about protecting one's Facebook privacy, I decided to parse down my vast knowledge in the field of Social Media Expertry to devise a foolproof plan against Zuckerberg and his web crawling minions.
With the myriad of films released each summer, it takes a discerning formula to parse out the titles I will NEVER see from the ones that I might. As such, I offer up a filtering system to reduce your summer wallet suck to a minimum.
I will not see any summer movie that...
- Has Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, or Jack Black.
- Has Sara Jessica Parker, Renee Zellweger.
- Has people wearing leather armour, chaps, or quivers.
- Has the word Fockers, Karate, or MacGruber in it.
- Has candy-ass sparkle vampires.
- Has the words Nightmare, Elm, and Street.
- Is an animated film featuring a green ogre, an over-sized dog, step-dancing or cheerleading.
- Has a title beginning with "Legend of the Guardians" or ending with "The Owls of Ga'Hoole".
- Has 3D in the title.
- Is a sequel, remake, re-imagining, has a "Part" or colon in the title.
Wow... guess I just saved ALL my money this summer.
