I have often heard people refer to being online as “mental masturbation.” If there’s one area that validates this view, it has got to be the “Comments” section in any entry, posting, rant, or news article. Whenever the topic of transgender surfaces (fark.com or cnn.com are good peanut galleries: witness CNN’s Steve [...]

I have been listening to the entire catalog of Scottish pop sweethearts Belle & Sebastian. Their album Storytelling was originally written as a score for Todd Solondz’s movie of the same name. After listening to it, I decided to revisit some of Solondz’s films. I loved Welcome to the Dollhouse (I think [...]
