I love when the inherent music of life shows through. I also love the muppets. Also, this is one of the best arguments against cell phones I’ve ever seen.

“ Those three things—autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward—are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying. It is not how much money we make that ultimately makes us happy between nine and five. It’s whether our work fulfills us.

If you think you can stomach an 11 year old girl spewing the most profane lines in the movie while gleefully and brutally murdering just about everyone, see this movie. It’s amazingly well constructed, and uses structure and tone to build possibly the most interesting and non-preachy commentary on media violence and the difference between “fantasy” and “reality” I’ve ever seen.
When my jaw wasn’t hanging open in horror, it was a hell of a lot of fun. Especially the ridiculously satisfying last act. I’ll definitely be seeing it again.

“ The iPhone vision of the mobile Internet’s future omits controversy, sex, and freedom, but includes strict limits on who can know what and who can say what. It’s a sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers. The people who create the apps serve at the landlord’s pleasure and fear his anger.
I hate it.
I hate it.

“ Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism’s in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.” Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I’d still have to bum rides off people.

If the title appeals to you, even a little bit, see this movie.
It’s awesome.
