More from the Apollo

Doing some ‘studying’ today and came across these two gems on Ayn Rand. First, the real death of Ayn Rand. Second, Ayn Rand the children’s movie critique does an exceptional job of finding all the messages I missed as a foolish child. Finally, some John Oliver for good measure because it never gets old.

Ayn Rand at the Apollo

Interesting Atlantic article in light of Jon Stewart’s announcement to leave The Daily Show. And for good measure Stewart on Crossfire years back. Always my favorite teaching aid for the ‘News and Media’ unit in Government class only second to using this Chapelle clip for the Bill of Rights unit.

- So the instagram account, Hot Dudes reading, would just be for the ladies if it were not for the funny comments about each. Check out BoredPanda for a bunch of good ones.
- Talking about funny social media accounts, check out Nihilist Arby’s twitter account. Sample tweet: “The birth of your child, your first snowfall, a shooting star: All meaningless in the face of the void. Arby’s: may as well order the large.” or: “McDonalds is trying to buy you with love. Check out THIS counter offer: suffer and let Arby’s be your fuel. Die.”
- The new Kendrick Lamar track, The Blacker the Berry, is pretty good.
- With exception to the Counting Crows song, Einstein on the Beach, on the cd DGC Rarities, compilations put together by a label usually do not include great songs from bands. The band LVL UP did something great and did a cover of Adam Sandler’s Somebody Kill Me Please from the Wedding Singer.
- This is a video of a bachelor party/prank where a bunch of guys reenact Rambo for the unknowing groom. Wait till you have some time, cause it is a half hour long.
- If you liked the movie-essay video I posted before, you should check out this video, The Problem with Action Movies Today, or this essay about Drive‘s quandrant system of framing shots.
- The new Amy Schumer movie, Trainwreck, looks funny.
- Shout Factory is a company that has rights to a lot of old television show and movies and has their own site to watch them for free-zies. Via Awesomer.
- I watched the movie, Chef, on Netflix the other day and have been repeating this song ever since:

Uncle Barbecue telling his dum-dum stories again.

When trying to watch a clip of Charles Barkley on the Tonight Show talking about how he hates people who want to travel in space, I noticed that Kyle Kinane also made an appearance on the show. So what was he promoting? Apparently he has a new album, “I Liked His Old Stuff Better“. Check it a preview with that appearance:
