No Up in the Air film review until it opens in wide release, or unless someone asks me to write one.

Going to see a special screening of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus now!

"The Rise of the Hot Jewish Girl"

rkb:

Rejuvenile author Christopher Noxon in Details:

That Jewish women have become the ethnic fetish du jour is all the more remarkable given that Jews represent a truly tiny minority (2.2 percent) of the U.S. population. In recent years, God’s chosen menfolk have been objects of affection, too, though they draw their appeal from cuddly schlubbiness, not sexual energy—consider Judd Apatow’s all-Jewish Frat Pack (Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Jason Segel, et al.). But unlike their funnyman brothers, Jewish girls have had to overcome the old stinging JAP stereotype of frigidity, whininess, and big hair.

Recently, however, the Fran Drescher rep has given way to a more smoldering image. Think cultural mutts like Rachel Weisz, Emmanuelle Chriqui, and Rachel Bilson—women who have little in common beyond sultriness and Star of David necklaces.

And though most guys don’t think religious observance adds to the allure, some of the dirtiest-minded do. How else to account for the popularity of “Frum porn,” raunchy photos of religious Jews getting busy? Hard-core pics of girls in sheitels giving blow jobs have earned a devoted following far outside the faith—from men who probably aren’t exactly sure what a sheitel is (for the record: it’s a wig worn to show one’s modesty). “It’s like the Catholic-schoolgirl fetish—we all want to defile that purity,” says Jewish porn star James Deen, who does so frequently.

I admit that I have the Kavorka; I am very sexually attracted to jewish women, and some the best sex I’ve had has been kosher!

Y’know, I know of zero Mexican/Jewish couples here in LA. This must change.

SummerSlam coming back to LA! *(not just yet, folks)

WWE is set to return to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA on March 16th, 2010.

Tickets go on sale on December 12th.

whatthefuck.

every year in LA?  serious?

awesome.

SummerSlam on March 16? Does anyone see anything wrong about this?

Actually, according to WWE.com it’s a Smackdown/ECW tv taping at Staples Center on March 16. Makes sense now. Yay! I’ll make a CM Funk sign…

Why does the WWE only do shows at Staples Center when they’re in Los Angeles?

I can explain this. I’ll start with LA first:

1991’s WrestleMania VII was originally going to be held at the 95,000-seat LA Memorial Coliseum. Advanced ticket sales, which were made available a full one-year prior to the PPV, were so disappointing that the WWF, in a very poor attempt to save face, announced that due to possible terrorist strikes against the WWF Champion and Iraqi sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter, as well as to the city of Los Angeles (classy), they should move the event next door to the much smaller and in-door 16,000-seat LA Memorial Sports Arena. Vince never again tried for the WWE at the Coliseum, maybe because deep inside he knows the WWE can’t sell the place out. In a sad twist of irony, Vince did book the legendary venue in 2001… as the home-game base of XFL team the Los Angeles Xtreme.

Then there’s the Rose Bowl:

They all hate Vince McMahon. Who? Why the Rose Bowl/Tournament of Roses Committee, that’s who. They hate that he’s a man who made himself a living off of something as “barbaric as ‘rasslin.” They hate the WWE. They’ve talked to Vince many times about having WrestleMania and SummerSlam at the Rose Bowl, and they told him every time to take a hike. (Note that this was all during the late 1990’s Attitude era).

How do I know this? My lovely mother called some of the Rose Parade/Rose Bowl people and ask them about it (she’s known these people for thirty years). From what they can remember, they acknowledged Vince as a real shrew bastard. How shocking.

Currently, the WWE has a strong relationship with Staples Center and the city of LA. We love ‘em and they really loves us. Yes, bridges were again burned with the Coliseum and the failure of the XFL, but those can be repaired in time. Forget about the Rose Bowl, ain’t gonna happen.
