WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE

Next week, look for a review if Gregg Araki‘s latest surreal sex farce, Kaboom.  We’ll also knock two items out of the reader-suggested review queue.  First, we’ll take a gander at Alan Parker’s trippy dramatization of the Pink Floyd rock opera The Wall (with standout animation by Gerald Scarfe).  And, for those of you who are concerned with our lack of anime coverage, we’ll be checking out Satoshi Kon’s 2006 dream-thriller Paprika (often said to be one of the main inspirations for Christopher Nolan‘s Inception).

It wasn’t the greatest of weeks for weird search terms used to locate the site, but we did get some notable queries.  In the questions we don’t know the answer to, and wouldn’t care if we did category, the winner was “what did kyle maclachlan eat on the set of dune”?   The this would probably constitute too much information if it made any sense department gave us “i wont see sex film on rassian.”  But the search term that made us giggle the hardest came from our why proper spelling counts when searching Google for porn file: the entry “a lezbo girl liking another girls crouch” is our official Weirdest Search Term of the Week.  Well done!
