Watchvktrs: Wham - “Last Christmas” (1984)
Again, you know this was coming. This song is everywhere right now, and i can’t figure why. Sure, it mentions christmas, right in the title even, but it’s not that merry or festive, it’s quite melancholic, and yet it’s become a true classic. Why are you so sad George? You even got that pretty elaborate hairstyle, all feathery and highlight-y, and back in...

What we want from Hollywood in 2011 →
Another year, another avalanche of remakes, dodgy 3D conversions and incomprehensible M Night Shyamalan dialogue. Here’s how the studios need to mend their ways:
1 Fewer sequels and remakes
2 Lay off the 3D
3 More berserk Batman casting rumours
4 Pirates of the Caribbean 4 to be shorter, and actually make sense this time
5 Don’t make The Social Network the start of a new trend

Mariah Carey - “All I Want For Christmas Is You” (1994)
I heard there are actually 4 different clips for this song, and i think it might be a record. I chose the original one, which is basically a glorified montage of Mariah’s home video tapes. A Very Carey Christmas involves dressing up your rich and old husband (Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola) as Santa Claus, filling up the mansion with...

'Black Swan and Banshee Wails', a negative but... →
“White swans are precise, graceful, delicate, passive, sweet; black swans are wild, radiant, impassioned, unrelenting, and strong. Black swans are the type to steal white swans’ princes away with trickery and bounds and leaps and dark sparkly makeup. As the Swan Queen, Nina must play both the white swan and the black swan. So here we have two female archetypes and one ladygirl who’s...

Best book I read this year. It’s a touching and poetic novel. Nicole Krauss is a master of the English language: words and periods obey her and we believe everything she writes.
