Random Blog Love: My New Plaid Pants

As I try to figure out what my own blog is all about, I’ll be doing occasional Random Blog Love postings where I call out some fabulous blog. In the spirit of transparency, yknow, so everybody knows who I’m ripping off.

Today’s Random Blog Love goes out to:

My New Plaid Pants

which bills itself as “Nonsense Incarnate,” but which seems to me to have a very thorough theoretical underpinning and a rigorous aesthetic applied consistently throughout. That is to say: love of horror films, love of shirtless boys, love of Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Phillipe with or without shirts, love of Battlestar Galactica, and a solid cinema studies background. All of which I echo. I also really dig JA’s regular features, such as “Thursday’s Way Not To Die” (which examines a particularly brutal movie death in glorious screen-capture detail (”A Trip To The Old Wood Chipper,” “High-Heeled to Death by a Girlfriend Impersonator”)); and “The Moment I Fell For…”

I just love it.
