Some ‘effing hipster’ robs a bank

hipsterrunoff:


Just read some ‘press release’ about how some guy robbed a bank. Then there was some sort of ‘security footage’ of him, and he ‘looked like an effing hipster’ because he was wearing a messenger bag (to carry money), emo glasses (to evaluate his surroundings), and an ‘ironic’ cream colored sweater. His age range was ‘effing twenty something.’ He is also a ‘very vegan’ 150-170 lbs.

Really unsure as 2 whether or not this guy was a ‘real hipster’ or if he is just a mainstreamer pretending 2 be alt in order to ‘throw off the cops’ from finding him. Feel like every day tons of mainstreamers pretend 2 be alt for tons of miscellaneous reasons.

Leslie Nielsen (February 11 1926 - November 28 2010)

Surely, he’ll be missed…

He will be missed… but don’t call him Shirley

Heathers (1989) - Review

Michael Lehmann’s kult kitsch klassic holds up well as a time capsule of late Eighties disassociation in high school Americana, but falls down with some wooden acting and some overtly stylised dialogue coming out as forced. It got MUCH better as it went along, though.

Where The Wild Things Are (2009) - Review

Spike Jonze’s polarising adaptation of the children’s story classic features some beautiful cinematography, inspired direction and decent animation but suffers from a case of being a bit… well, boring.

The Social Network (2010) - Review

Critic porn, likely awards magnet and veritable beacon for indie sensibilities in mainstream cinema, “The Social Network” plays like a tech-geek “Rashomon” in a world populated by the geeks and their greed. 

Look out for the extended review soon.

Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007) - Review

Sidney Lumet is back to his best at the helm of this (almost Shakespearian) crime melo-drama but perhaps a bit too much “Acting” acting. Hoffman is excellent as always, Ethan Hawke and Albert Finney co-star.

The Hurricane (1999) - Review

Excellent performance from Denzel in this proficiently engrossing drama about a wrongly banged-up pro-boxer. Inherently interesting story but some of the black militancy didn’t resonate (with me).

Buried (2010) - Review

One of the most remarkable pieces of filmmaking that I have encountered in years; Rodrigo Cortes manages to create a constantly engaging movie with the most basic premise possible: Ryan Reynolds has been buried alive.

Up In The Air (2009) - Review

A peculiarly lauded movie from the talented sprog of comedy legend, Ivan - Jason Reitman conceives a rare miss that has all of his trademark visual tricks but little heart or warmth. Cold and slow.

American Movie (1999) - Review

Cult documentary plays like a real life “This Is Spinal Tap” - only with movies. Hilarious and revealing - like a naked clown.
