Cactus Erectus--Yeoooowtch!

New artwork: Fuck Polo yeah. These were the words (or at least the words to this effect) that I saw in a list of ideas for muscle growth stories in the old MGS site, and these were later on brought to life by polomuscle in his story Chris Joins the Polo Club. Even then I found the concept of heavily built fratboys praising the power of Polo to be... strangely erotic, and I hope to have captured a little of that spirit in this catalog of Polo-wearing preppies--pumped up to the max, of course. Fuck Polo yeah.

Thanks to the fast and furious action shots that were never confusing and a suspenseful build-up that remained thrilling despite knowing the ultimate outcome, this is probably the best live action Disney flick I've seen to date.

The Passion of the Christ-- What a bloody mess that was. Mel Gibson's heavyhanded, histrionically accurate, and extremely physical portrayal of the last twelve hours of Jesus's life may count as religious experience for others, but after "almost three hours of sadomasochistic, noisy imagery," for me the spirituality got lost in the translation that was programmed to elicit a visceral rather than an intellectual reaction. (Heaven forbid if Christian fundamentalists and Catholic tradionalists would want their flock of sheep to think on that level. Jeebus go-o-o-d, sin ba-a-a-d.) Hell, Jesus Christ Superstar was more reverent to the message of Love and Forgiveness than this self-flagellating spectacle. As a prettified propoganda package, the "Jesus Chainsaw Massacre" is truly the greatest story ever sold. Salon
