brightwalldarkroom: The Nutcracker, Or: Baryshnikov’s Incredible Body and Kirkland’s Dream by Elizabeth Wilcox Christmas is the one time of year when a larger subsection of the population than usual—say, 5% instead of 2%—thinks about ballet. Yes, I know Black Swan just came out, but that’s not an… Elizabeth loves Mikhail.

Hot Metal Bridge, Fall 2010 →
ewilcox: katiecoyle: You should probably start getting excited. This issue of Hot Metal Bridge is objectively the best thing ever to happen, featuring superb stories from Lucy Jane Bledsoe, Ethel Rohan, and Linda Tzoref, an interview of Vestal McIntyre by some girl, and (I just noticed) poetry from Elizabeth Wilcox! You’re welcome, internet. Yes! I have not yet read all of these things, but...

Die Hard (1988) →
ewilcox: brightwalldarkroom: DIE HARD IS ABOUT FUCKING by Chris Cantwell Die Hard is about fucking. Actually, there’s no sex in Die Hard—except for a brief awkward topless woman in the holiday party scene—but you can count the entire film as a metaphor for sex. Which I do. Sometimes I don’t want to know what’s happening in Chris’s head. And sometimes I can’t get enough of it. I wrote...

I will just say it’s a big pisser that it would take political controversy and agenda for rape charges filed by women to be taken seriously by larger govt entities (looking at you Sweden, America), and conversely that many people automatically assume (looking at you Michael Moore) that the rape charges are a publicity stunt or part of a bigger conspiracy to take down Assange, and that anyone...

I think I finally pinned down how I feel about this whole WikiLeaks thing. Yes, I feel that the bizarre overreaction to what they’ve done is unsettling and perhaps dangerous to many things that we cherish in a democracy. The espionage threats, treason, etc. The threats of being fired for reading them, not allowing donations, shutting down the Amazon servers. That’s all really bad....

5 Reasons To Love Downtown L.A.'s Art Walk →
5 Reasons to Hate Downtown L.A.’s Art Walk 1.) People drunkenly pissing on the back door of our building. 2.) Shitty rock bands playing three sets in the parking lot below our window. 3.) People drunkenly pissing on cars in our parking lot. 4.) People drunkenly screaming through midnight (I guess while appreciating the art). 5.) People. tumblangeles: There are many art walks in Los...
