Doesn’t seem that long ago that I started this project. I suppose it isn’t in the grand scheme of things, but on August 15, 2007, The Chaos Fold was born. By some minor miracle I’ve managed to accrue 103 published posts, and while I’ve dropped off the blogosphere a couple of times, I’ve more or [...]
Peter Travers – The Anti-Ebert
As a lifelong fan of film and game alike, I’ve been increasingly frustrated in the seeming critical divide between these two art forms. Roger Ebert, famously has stated that games can never be art, my open letter to him drew a lot of attention, and has yet to yield a response from anyone at the [...]
REVIEW – Iron Man
Iron Man lights a fire underneath its competitors in the increasingly-stale summer-superhero genre. Robert Downey Jr. is no tortured Bruce Wayne, no awkward Peter Parker, he’s goddamn Iron Man, in the suit and out.
Heath Ledger 1979-2008
I woke up this morning to talk with a friend about a big project I’m going to be contributing to, when my dad tells me the news.
Heath Ledger died.
For someone normally full of grandiose terms I’m at a loss. I’ve always thought that Heath Ledger was to be one of the great talents of our [...]
Ye gone smell-blind, honey!
I recently had the pleasure of seeing John C. Reilly’s defining role as the legendary (fake) Dewey Cox in “Walk Hard”.
It sure isn’t the smartest parody around, but it is smarter than it gets credit for. A lot of the jokes are clear over the heads of their audience. Those who know me will know [...]
The sane may never live, but the crazy never die.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a recent, and rather unfortunate trend. More and more, the disturbed and alienated youth of my generation are deciding that its better to die spectacularly than live insignificantly. From extravagant overdoses to the shitheads who go nuts with a gun, more and more of my generation is [...]
Living with Transparent Sluts, or how I fell in love with Ellen Page
Watching Letterman last night I saw the beautiful young actress Ellen Page, in what is possibly the most brilliant interview ever.
She spoke at length about her new home, which is a former whorehouse. She spoke about her “whorish” things going missing. She spoke about Transparent Sluts.
Ellen, I know we just met and all, but will [...]
To my esteemed compatriots at the Wall Street Journal
If only you’d decided to link to my humble blagoblag here a number of weeks ago before almost all of my frontpage posts involve oral sex.
To my new readers, welcome, don’t be too scared, I am after all a professional. I know what I’m doing when I say cocksucker.
Tears in the rain.
Blade Runner is the greatest film ever.
An unpopular statement, to be sure, there are so many more brilliant films, Metropolis, Citizen Kane, 2001. For sheer visual artistry, I cannot find one that matches Blade Runner, a film so stunningly ahead of its time that few could dream of matching it before 2017, the date [...]
