Friday, October 28, 2005 In Over His Head There's a legendary chocolate shop down the street in Prenzlauer Berg, where you can buy the finest Mexican or Indonesian bars of chocolate with 75% cacao, or 89%, or 99% if you're some kind of fundamentalist; and next door there's an attached cafe, where legend has it you can buy THE BEST cup of hot chocolate you'll ever taste IN YOUR LIFE, so I wandered over last week to try some. But the cafes in that block are sort of narrow and confusing. The woman behind the bar was happy to steam a hot chocolate out of the espresso machine, and it was pretty good, but somehow not up to the orgasmic standard set by the store's reputation, and on the way out I realized I had wandered into the the wrong cafe.Bugger. A few nights later I tried again. I made sure to aim for the right door, and I asked the bartender -- sort of knowingly -- for a cup of chocolate, feeling very confident, since this time I knew what was coming. The cafe was low-lit, a bit pretentious, and decorated in cozy shades of brown. But the bartender was very mysterious. He said: "With or without orange?" This stumped me. I had no idea how to answer, so I went out and found a place with beer. posted by Michael Scott Moore | 7:56 PM

The heart warming Shining was fucked up! How can it be that the most terrifying movie I've ever seen in my life could be spun like that? At least the bunnies were still scary. I think I'm really not going to be able to sleep now.
Anonymous, isn't it amazing what can be done with editing? That, and the goopy, cliche-ridden voice-over. The whole thing is brilliant, and awful.

Watch all the other Bunnies re-enactments. They're consistently funny. And a good way to keep from getting any work done, ahem. | |
