American Hustle

If you're anything like me, American Hustle is not the movie you were expecting.

That's not to say it's a bad movie. It's actually quite a good movie with a great cast and a pretty engaging story.

The trouble is, it's billed as basically Ocean's Eleven but set in the 70s. Woooooah, look out, Christian Bale is wearing a hairpiece. Wooooooah, Bradley Cooper has a perm. Lololol.

The reality is that it's closer to a flick called The Bank Job that was released a couple years back. But seeing as nobody actually remembers that movie, this was kind of a dumb point to make.

Welcome To Night Vale

Think of H.P Lovecraft. Think of Stephen King. Think of every creepy conspiracy theory and/or horror story. Put them all together in one small desert town in rural America, and then add one very droll community radio announcer. Congratulations, that's Welcome To Night Vale.

Created by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, Welcome To Night Vale focuses on the insane amount of insane things that happen in a town insanely accepting of insanity. It's insane. And I'll tell you why.

Cecil Baldwin is the host of a community radio show in the town of Night Vale. His fortnightly slot usually lasts between 20 minutes and half-an-hour. Cecil covers the usual things you'd expect in a community radio broadcast - traffic, community events, sport, the movements of the mysterious hooded figures in the ominous dog park, and the offerings the secret police are planning to leave to appease the perfect form of material terror. You know, the usual.
