Confessions Of An Action Movie Fan

Posted on

Jean-Claude Van Damme Fan Art

Happy Labor Day! I don’t have anything to write about relating to Labor Day, so hopefully I could twist this post around to somehow make it relate by sharing why I love action movies along with the actors working hard not to break a bone.

Growing up with two brothers, I got wrapped into developing similar interests as them. Maybe it was to prove something, or maybe it was a bonding tactic on my end, but whatever the case was, I grew up loving action movies. I had taken karate classes with my brothers, we’d act out action scenes from our favorite movies, and we’d play Mortal Kombat way too much on our beloved Sega Genesis. I actually enjoyed it. Like, a lot. I still played with my Barbies and did other “girl” things, but at the end of the day, I enjoyed being entertained by action and violence.

Courtney Love Doll Parts Quote

Working on my typography game, I chose a quote this time around by the Hole song Doll Parts.
These are lyrics that I’m sure a lot of girls can relate to. Not only do I feel for it, but it’s also quite the visual quote which made it fun to work with.

Psycho Killin’ Type

Talking Heads Quote

I’ve been wanting to step up my typography game. I went to college for illustration, and 95% of my professors taught us to stay away from typography in our art. We were free to experiment with type if we wanted, but it wasn’t recommended. So most of us never did.

I love graphic design and typography and have always had a huge interest in fonts, but I also enjoyed learning about illustration and how to further enhance my skills so I went to school for that. There was a weird superiority competitive aura between the fine art students, illustration students, and graphic design students, and for whatever reason the school found it wasn’t necessary for any of those three majors to interweave, we unfortunately weren’t given the option to learn more and experiment with fine arts or graphic design. I really wanted to learn more about type, and the one class we were required to take that “taught” typography was just crap, if I could be honest.

Classic Souvlaki

Slowdive Gif

One thing about this time difference that bothers me is that I was anxiously waiting yesterday for Pitchfork to post their latest episode of Pitchfork Classic which was about Slowdive’s Souvlaki album. Being seven hours ahead, I unfortunately was asleep when it was posted, so just know this post was intended for yesterday.

The Growth of a Musician & My Love for Maggie Koerner

Guest post written by Jess

Maggie Koerner

There’s something really special about falling in love with a band or musician early on in their career, which I made a point of doing as much as possible throughout my adolescence spent at The Downtown music venue in Farmingdale, NY.
Not only do you get major hipster cred for knowing them first…

(which makes you completely obnoxious, but it’s still kind of a great feeling :P)

#SAVETWINPEAKS

Just like the rest of the world, I was THRILLED when an announcement was made for the Twin Peaks revival. And just like the rest of the world, I was crushed when David Lynch pulled out due to negotiation issues with Showtime, whom will be bringing back the new episodes.

My Return Of Saturn

No Doubt Return Of Saturn Poster

Saturday apparently marked the fifteenth anniversary of No Doubt’s Return of Saturn. *Ahem* excuse me, fifteen years??

Return of Saturn was the album that turned me into a diehard No Doubt fan. I was already familiar and in favor of Tragic Kingdom, their breakthrough and most memorable album, but ROS really brought me there. I think it was a mixture of their newfound rock sound and Gwen Stefani’s pink hair’d attitude. I loved their image during that time; they reached a whole level of natural-cool. Their rock-ska sound was just perfect. It was exactly what I was into at that time as I started developing a love for rock music.
I became known as the “No Doubt superfan” in school. Everyone knew I loved the band, and I was not afraid to talk about it.

Five Ways Broad City is Changing the Media for Us Broads

Guest post written by Victoria

Broad City Art

I hated Broad City the first time I watched it. It seemed like nothing more than televising a web series made by Upright Citizens Brigade alums Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer. It also seemed like Comedy Central’s answer to HBO’s Girls and I’ll bet a whole lot of ladies felt the same way. But with their time slot right after the frequently over-the-top Workaholics, another CC original and personal favorite of mine, I ended up giving the broads a shot for an entire season and realized my original assessment was not only completely unfounded but wrong; Broad City is actually the greatest show ever, pretty much, and here’s five reasons why they’re going to change media for women.
