Traditions.

By laird sapir :: Published December 22, 2012

I like holiday traditions. Well, I like traditions that aren’t a pain. Hauling out the Christmas tree is a giant pain, so I tend to put that one off. One of my favorite traditions is the fact that this time of year, the worst song ever written and made popular by young do-gooder celebrities is…Read the Rest

There Are No Words.

By laird sapir :: Published April 30, 2012

I think I’ve mentioned before that I love bad dance movies. But the preview for “The FP” leaves even me speechless (mainly because I am laughing so hard I can barely breathe.)

Bad Idea Jeans – Valentine’s Day Edition

By laird sapir :: Published February 10, 2012

  Every year I marvel at the horrible gift items being hawked to unsuspecting men as “The Perfect Valentine’s Day Present.” Anyone else remember the “Hoodie Footie”? The two-gifts-in-one pepto-bismol pink fleece zip up (“for her”) that came with racy lingerie (“for him”). WTF? Well, this year…it’s worse. The makers of the Hoodie Footie are…Read the Rest

Step Up 2 My Embarrassing Love of Dance Movies

By laird sapir :: Published January 23, 2012

One of my favorite pastimes is watching bad movies which culminate in overly consequential competitions, especially when the movie can tie up all of its loose ends in one final Footloosian dance-sequence. I am a sucker for these cinematic gems. Step Up? check. Drumline? check. Footloose? Obviously.  Recently, I was reminded of the best that this genre…Read the Rest
