I have included an unprecedented number of clips so that you, dear reader, will know that this film actually exists, and that I didn&#8217;t merely hallucinate it during a peyote-induced weeklong vision quest in the deserts of Arizona. Words really cannot do justice to the film&#8217;s surreal insanity, especially hackneyed, clich\u00c3\u00a9d words like &quot;Words really cannot do justice to.&quot;&quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/environment\">environment<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/stupid\">stupid<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/movies\">movies<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/avclub\">avclub<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/id\/2210527\/?from=rss\">Those who have forgotten how to shovel snow are doomed to wade through it. &#8211; By Anne Applebaum &#8211; Slate Magazine<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;Even for a native of Washington, D.C., the city that our new president recently described as in need of &quot;flinty Chicago toughness&quot; because of its pathetic response to the occasional snowflake, this reaction seemed excessive. So did the reaction of London&#8217;s transportation network, which grounded most of the city&#8217;s vast underground system and all 8,000 of its buses, leaving more than 6 million passengers stranded. So did the reactions of London schools (all canceled) and Londoners themselves. Walking down Piccadilly in the evening, I found no evidence that anyone had made use of anything resembling a snow shovel throughout the entire day. &quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/silly\">silly<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/slate\">slate<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/weather\">weather<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jdupuis.blogspot.com\/2009\/02\/if-you-dont-have-blog-you-dont-have.html\">Confessions of a Science Librarian: If you don&#8217;t have a blog you don&#8217;t have a resume (Part 1)<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;The point here is to make the case that blogging is good for your career.
