An “old movie” thread has been requested. Ask and ye shall receive. Longtime blamers are well aware that, while recuperating from gory ankle reconstruction surgery a couple years ago — remember? Bert dug a hole, and I fell in it? — I became strangely fascinated by the Turner Classic Movie channel. The Turner Classic Movie …

A deep subject
As promised: the well pump repair documentary, cinematographed with my iPhone. Five minutes of pure torture.

Spinster aunt emits guffaw at Sarah Haskins vid
Troubled by that TV commercial where the laundry detergent teddy bear mascot tries to drown a woman in a giant hot tub filled with pink laundry, but instead of calling the cops or trying to kill the teddy bear, the woman is grateful, and the teddy bear puts up a Do Not Disturb sign so …

Spinster aunt perceives flaw in PBS documentary
The mournfulness of the mourning dove is exceptionally heartwarming. Spinster HQ is lousy with’em at the moment. They go “The end is near, near, near.” Last night’s Frontline documentary on human sex trafficking — “Sex Slaves,” originally broadcast in 2005 — clawed at every cranny of the obstreperal lobe. Definitely not heartwarming. I’ll skip the …

Spinster aunt recommends intellectual busywork as countermeasure against occupying forces
Heatwarming milkweed bugs stick their butts together on a clump of antelope horn. Everyone is always asking me how to smash patriarchy. “It’s all well and good,” they say, “this vague, spinster auntly consciousness-raising crap in the Age of Funfeminism and Liberal Dudes, but where’s the practical solution?” Well, I sure as hell don’t know. …

Spinster aunt trots out statistics from Internet to make point
How long has it been since you’ve had the pleasure of reading some opinionated spinster auntly pronouncements? Well, that’s too long. Today I have two things to say, and, as usual, I’m probably gonna use too many words to say’em. So, if you’re short on time, here’s the synopsis: Anyone who uses the term “funbags” …

The power of porn
The spinster aunt typically leads a quiet life, so naturally the sordid movie-viewing habits of British politicians ignites an enormous conflagration of interest here at HQ. When the sunny skies, cool breezes, and furry woodland creatures start to wear on the nerves, one turns to the Internet for titillating news from Parliament. Huff-Po doesn’t disappoint! …

The Blogging of the Shuffling of the iPod
Do people actually read these things? I guess I’ll find out. 1. “Skool Dinner Blues (Live)” The Soft Boys. Can Of Bees. Robyn Hitchcock with Elvis reverb singing, way out of tune, “I looked for ya baby but skool dinner’s all I could find.” Ha. 2. “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” The Beach Boys. Pet Sounds. …

Rawk
Reader Ellie, perturbed by some patriarchy-blaming remarks I made in connection with of one of her favorite bands, the Ramones, writes to ask the musical question: do I consider any kind of rock music appropriate for a feminist? No. Yes. No. OK, how about this: whatever music appeals to you is appropriate (although maybe, just …

Rock’n'Roll’s Bogus Narrative, Part II
A film about The Ramones — the band that popularized the “go start your own awful band” craze (and the concomitant brick wall band photo craze) — aired last night on PBS “Independent Lens.” Painful though it was, I watched all of it, and by “all of it” I of course mean “part of it.” …
