Pretty Terrible

Pop Culture Criticism by Natalie Luhrs

March 29, 2013

Linkspam, 3/29/13 Edition

Eleanor Clements and Her Peep Solar System

Eleanor Clements and Her Peep Solar System
“Eleanor’s parents, Amy and William Clements, assured us that their daughter did the work all by herself. Judges appreciated the educational qualities of the diorama, as well as its simplicity.”

  • One of my favorite kids writes a review of one of my favorite books.
  • This is a very cool trailer–warning, there is a lot of violence but it’s beautifully animated and even though I have no idea what it’s going to be about I kind of want to see it now.
  • Recalling 1993 This is an excellent idea for an art project. I am going to pretend that it doesn’t make me feel ancient, though. Remember sticking dimes in your penny loafers so you’d always have money for a phone call on you? ….yeah. Old here.
  • The Art of Asking Why We Hate Amanda Palmer. And from that article, is this really interesting article about Kickstarter which references Palmer’s campaign as well as her appallingly tone-deaf TED talk.
  • Game of Thrones Death Generator
  • Enough with Jon Hamm’s Penis Already! Also, dude looks like Fabio. But I bet he doesn’t smell as nice as I’ve been told Fabio does.

    Ok, I had to tlaugh at “Lose the elves” in the tips for writer post.

    The dinosaur sex blog was interesting, but those images where well odd.

    Interesting article on the Amanda Palmer phenomenon.

    Cool anime trailer…for Red or “Ruby”… clearly some sort of series about modernized fairy tale heroines. That trailer is clearly a take on Red Riding Hood. W in the series is probably Snow White. Ah here we go a link about the series:

    It makes me want togo watch Red Vs Blue though. That series is wonderfully silly.
