OH SHIT BIGFOOT’S FAKE
Um, so that Bigfoot that was supposed to be real? Yeah. Isn’t really real. Shocking, I know. But holy shit! Here are the dipshits who tried (and utterly failed) to pull off the hoax. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this might be the most amazing YouTube I’ve ever seen. “This is an odd, […]

Meet Ziro the Hutt in This Week’s Mercury Film Section!
If you–like any sane person–thought that no character could ever be as reviled as Jar Jar Binks (click here at your own peril), prepare to be surprised: Ziro the Hutt makes his debut in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and words cannot describe what a catastrophic clusterfuck his character is. I’m genuinely astonished he somehow […]

Beats The Hell Out of Salmon Street Springs Fountain
We have some very cool fountains in Portland. But we can’t beat Canal City, Japan, and their amazing water show. This is absolutely mind blowing. Make sure you watch the entire thing. It just gets better and better.

Project Runway Wrap Up!
Last night’s installment of Project Runway, starring Portland designer Leanne Marshall was another close call for our hometown heroine, who let herself be dragged down to the bottom two of this team challenge that required them to make something for Brooke Shields‘ character on Lipstick Jungle. Despite the fact that when Leanne showed her sketch […]

Ragtime Tonight!
I know I’m not giving you much notice here, but Milos Forman’s Ragtime screens tonight at the NW Film Center‘s Whitsell Auditorium (in the basement of the Portland Art Museum). I hadn’t seen the movie until very recently, and I was blown away by it. Sometimes it takes an outsider to successfully capture a particular […]

The Wheel of Time Goes Hollywood, Nerds Rejoice.
I got 379 pages into Robert Jordan’s fantasy novel The Eye of the World before tossing it aside, feeling like I’d read enough wannabe Tolkien to last me a lifetime. My original goal was far more ambitious: I’d planned on reading Jordan’s entire The Wheel of Time series, in which Eye is merely the first […]

Ice-Skating Chimps: NEED I SAY MORE?!
I know a few of you are strongly considering auditioning for PIZZAZZ: Portland’s Funnest Talent Show (especially since you can win $1000 dope cash money). But I also know that some of you are holding back because you’re afraid that you may have to compete against “Ice-Skating Chimps.” WELL FEAR NOT. As it turns out, […]

New Kanye West Video: Puppet Olympics!
You know, Kanye West brings up a very good point in his sports-themed new video for his single “Champions“: Why aren’t puppets allowed to participate in the Olympics?? That’s B.S., man. B.S.!!

Does Anyone Remember This TV Show?
I was at City Liquidators this weekend marveling over a bunch of early 90s toys they have in stock right now (including this Wayne’s World 3D Card Game), and it got me thinking about all the forgotten gems of the era. I remember watching a show called California Dreams one summer as a kid. It […]

Ummm…… Ew?
How was your weekend? Mine was good, I guess, except that this website was brought to my attention. It’s the website for a film called Orgasmic Birth, a documentary (propaganda-mentary?) that shows women how to achieve orgasm while giving birth to a baby. I mean, the g-spot is right there, people. Watch the preview if […]
