AVATAR VS. SPIDER-MAN 3 Nobody wins in this fight, let’s just make that clear. This is more to determine which overly effects driven, poorly written film works better than the other. First we have Avatar, the long awaited special effects bukkake that James Cameron spewed all over our faces in 2009. Then we have a [...]
OFFICE SPACE VS. AMERICAN HISTORY X Two formidable opponents for wildly different reasons, and for no earthly reason would there ever be a comparison of the two, except right here, right now. Office Space is an instant classic, arguably the funniest movie about the tedium of existence ever made. It is the story of [...]
FUCK THAT CALF! In which we slay the things others hold dear. XBOX 360 Let me preface this by saying that I have no issue with the few exclusive games on XBOX (more on that later). I would love to play Halo 4, Gears of War, etc. Unfortunately I won’t play these things for a [...]

THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE Anger Bang Poison and Wine – The Civil Wars The go-to reaction to ‘what song to pick for a hate fuck’ is something loud, aggresive and punk rock. However, nothing says I hate you like a song that realitically depicts a passive aggressive relationship going even more sour. The music is [...]
I MISS MY MTV Everybody Talks – Neon Trees This song is fucking rad, this video is cool as fuck and I’ll be goddamned if I didn’t have a good time enjoying both simultaneously. This video captures the fun and excitement that MTv used to portray on an hourly basis. The cinematic shooting of the [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE THE BITCH/BASTARD LIED TO YOU! Tiny Vessels – Death Cab for Cutie This song is tricky. If that bitch lied (presumably about not fucking someone else), I would like her to know that I haven’t loved her for a really long time. Listening to this song, I think she would get [...]
POP FILTER VS. SLEEPER When I started watching Sleeper I suddenly realized that I had never actually sat through a Woody Allen film. It’s probably the only major gap in my film knowledge so I was glad to finally get this out of the way. While I’m glad I finally watched something of his [...]
So, if you hadn’t guessed from reading my past articles and my contributions to our weekly music posts, I love metal. Unfortunately there aren’t many on this site that share this love and so our top picks for music this year will be mostly devoid of this wonderful genre. Well your lone true metal warrior [...]
I MISS MY MTV HEADBANGER’S BALL The Sword - Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians The Sword are one of my favorite kinds of bands. You look at them and maybe think “Oh, it’s cool that they’re sort of ironically doing the old-school metal thing” and then look again and realize there is absolutely no fucking [...]
In which review this weekend’s movies based on the only thing you need to watch – the trailers. The Devil Inside AKA: The Last Last Exorcism in Amityville Summary: A girl goes to see her possessed mom who is all like “What?” Then the girl is like “Yo young priest guy can you make my [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE YOUR MORTAL ENEMY’S FUNERAL WILLY MOTHERFUCKIN WONKA – PURE IMAGINATION I don’t know about you, but my mortal enemy is a total dickhead. When that motherfucker finally does die, it will be like my wildest dreams have finally come true. And this song will be playing on a loop in my [...]
This being a notoriously busy weekend for everybody, I thought I’d give you something easily accessible and easily digestible for this installment. So here, Hidden Gems presents its first webseries entry: The Curious Happenings About George Warrior. What is it?: Just like the Shang Tsung’s army of possessed fighters, George Warrior is not controlling [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE BLOCK OUT THAT YOU’RE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING LP – Into the Wild It’s Christmas time, and you know what that means – ten new commercials that are just reworking the lyrics to Carol of the Bells. But in between all that God awfulness you might catch a bit of this song in a Citibank [...]
Since this is my last article before Christmas I’m leaving you with some genuine Christmas cheer. Enjoy. What is it?: Elves is the delightful Christmas tale about a teenage girl who inadvertently allows an elf (singular) to rise from Hell or something. This isn’t the delightful Will Ferrell type elf but a murderous demon troll [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE Finding out you’re the Chosen One Phish – 2001 If I find out I am the Chosen One then I am going to CELEBRATE. I wanna dance to some funky-ness and occasionally have a guitar play some notes that make me feel like I am ascending RIGHT NOW. Phish’s cover of [...]
What is it?: Touted as the first “green” film, Sex Galaxy is a comedy that almost entirely consists of public domain footage. The footage mostly comes from old B-movies and vintage erotica and it’s edited together to tell a cohesive story more or less. The audio is all overdubbed as well to move the new [...]
I MISS MY MTV I NEED A DOCTOR – Dr. Dre feat. Eminem and Skylar Grey Typically, it is very difficult for me to take music videos seriously. It’s typically a short form exposition in an artist jerking him/herself off. This video, however, is maybe the best I have ever seen. Forget video of the [...]
I had an article that was 90% complete when I got home last night but I decided to scrap it in favor of copping out yet again by talking about possibly the most mainstream property I’ve ever discussed. I have my reasons so read on. What is it?: Jurassic Park: The Game is a [...]
I MISS MY MTV 80′s FLASHBACKBACK!! The 80′s suck, this song sucks and MTV sucks. I submit, therefore, a perfect match of shittiness. The internet did a weird thing with this song, what with the Rick Rolling and all. Why a stringbean of a ginger with the voice of a 300 lb black man [...]
