Random sampling
I did this a couple of months ago, but my music collection changes more often than my hair color because I’m constantly dragging and dropping things between my Macbook and my external hard drive, so I thought I’d do it again.
Also, what better way to procrastinate than by plundering my iTunes library?

A Modest Proposal
- I put a DVD into the player
- I start a stopwatch
- I navigate all the menus
- I wait for all the various “advertisements” telling me about the sound mastering, the FBI warning, and so forth
- The movie actually begins
- I stop the stopwatch.
I take that stopwatch to the home of some executive connected with the MPAA and count off those seconds.
While holding his (or her—I’m all about equal opportunity, people) head under water.
I’m just saying, it might lead to some change.

El Topo, 1970 (dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky)
These four frames do nothing to explain the epic weirdness and awesomeness of this movie. Maybe the movie’s tagline, which doesn’t even mention the massacres or master gunfighters or deformed cave people, will help:
“See the naked young Franciscans whipped with cactus. See the bandit leader disemboweled. See the priest ride into the sunset with a midget and her newborn baby. What it all means isn’t exactly clear, but you won’t forget it.”
