  1. did you see the movie? its precisely the hollywood dramatization of that sequence that i take issue with. whatever truths might be included is weighed down by the heavy hand of a crappy director. all the sudden theyre like sexting each other about bday cakes and giddy girl talk laced anticipation all up in each others asses to drive some sort of point home that theres a heavy emotional loss coming and girl is gon be hardened by it. this has nothing to do with whatever newspaper reports are archived, its about the way in which someone went making a movie about those reports.

  2. right? and dont tell me you didnt see her bff's death coming like a mile away. id feel bad for ruining that part of the film, but then again, this isnt actually a recommendation to go and see it.

    i think the best part of the movie is like the first 10-15 minutes with jason clarke. it started out really good, and as soon as dude exits, it goes straight downhill.

  3. the character development was the most cliched part about it. and i dont fault chastain for it, i think shes more than capable of a nuanced role, that just isnt part of the heavy handed package of this film. put it this way, towards the end when she starts in on that whole yell-iloquy talmbout "YOULL DO IT OR ILL HAVE YOUR BUTT IN A SLING SO FAST YOULL BE CLEANING TAMPONS FROM THE FOODCOURT AT A DC MALL" or whatever she says to her boss, thats when i about had it. such a waste of talent, and such a bore to watch develop. compound that with hollywood wetting itself over bigelows shit, i just dont get it.

  4. my dudes edc.

  5. found them in another thread. pretty much the exact same thing, minus the tags

    Alright, so I went shopping for suits the other day in my hometown & went to this small men's store that apparently used to sell Levis. Walking back to the fitting room I noticed a couple pair of what appeared to be deadstock Orange Tab Levis. Sure enough they were, and after talking to the owner he let me buy them. I'm trying to find more info on them, like an Antiques Roadshow thing, but not really for money because I don't think they'd be worth that much.

    But they are never-worn, never-sold either Blue Bells or Traditional Flairs. They have the small "e" on the tab, but appear to be older, maybe 70's or possibly early 80's. I took some pics and was hoping someone would be able to shed some more light on these. They are pretty ugly, but I'm keeping them.

    Is it possible to send this last picture to the Levis Archive people or Lynn Downey and see if they could identify them based on the coding on the back?

    Also, he had a crazy pair of deadstock 501xx that he wasn't willing to part with. He said a few years ago he was offere like, $600-$800 dollars for them & he turned them down. The reason they were so special is because they were a promotional pair that Levis had sent out and they had a tagged waist size of W-75 L-46. They were crazy huge! I need to go back and get a picture of those.

    They are 684-0217 bell bottoms

  6. was at the army surplus store yesterday and found a pair of deadstock 517 stf made in USA (c. 1980s) in my size. for those of you looking for a slimmer fit stf these will do as long as you dont mind a bootcut or are willing to have them chopped up to a straight leg.

    they also had a pair of odd stf levis orange tab with no back patch, bar tacked [no rivets] and it was only a 4 pocket jean. they fit but the cuff was even more blowed out than the 517s. like almost bell bottom-y or like navy bell bottoms. they had a much better blue dye, kind of a greenish haze. didnt pick them up, kind of regretting it as it wouldve only been another $10. can anyone id them by this description? also, there was no tags inside or out so i had to just try them on, id put them at about a 34x34.

  7. that "ifs and buts" quote was from slammin salmon which is highly underrated for michael clarke duncans [RIP] performance alone. in fact, he's really the only reason to see it, dude kills it! anyways,

    "...1969 fender stratocaster, original pick-ups, maple neck, strung upside down for a left-handed motherfucking genius..."

  8. You can make foams pretty easily with soy lecithin(commonly sold at healthfood stores) + an immersion blender, or gelling a liquid with agar/gelatine, then using a whipping cream siphon. The gel method yields a much more stable foam

    my nephew can do this pretty easily with a sippy cup and a crazy straw. similac flavored, of course.

    in all seriousness, i dont get the appeal of foam. im sure its technical and all but it looks like someone hocked a loogie in your food.

    okay, so its the darling of the big dog festival circuit, and dude is fitted in this picture, but something needs to be said about the set designers that pulled off some great sculptures from, truck boats to porcupine roofing. also features one of my favorite looks, big girl in denim overall shorts with tanktop, blazer and necktie.

    i havent been this impressed in los angeles location scouting since probably blvd nights. but these dudes were really in the guts. and this hina was bad as fuck. killing it with that throwback pachuco style. let me just say this movie was good up until the end where the white dude lives. predictable letdown.
