I like this one just because it sounds cool: “hipsterism fetishizes the authentic elements of all of the fringe movements of the postwar era—beat, hippie, punk, even grunge, and draws on the cultural stores of every unmelted ethnicity, and regurgitates it with a winking inauthenticity.

I think a hopster could be a hipster who tends to like more hip-hop than the standard indie rock or a hipster who likes hoppy beers. Also, I would like to see a painting called “Hipster in Repose.”

Anyway! I’ve been confused about the act of watching movies ironically for a while now. I never liked the phrase “so bad it’s good” to kind of protect oneself behind a shield of irony. So when I see a movie that I think is good, for whatever reason, I just say it’s good. Rebecca Black’s music video, “Friday,” is good.

Since you skipped Twin Peaks, now as penance, I would humbly suggest you watch Blue Velvet or Dune. But then you’ve probably already seen those, hmm.

I remember being really into the magic boobs in that movie when I was younger. It is a great movie and my favorite lines are any of the times Donald Pleasence talks/yells about the Duke being “A-Number One.” So weird!
