Before McCarren Park becomes a sweaty pile of back-tattooed hipsters, it is a nice place with pretty blossoms.
The view on Sunday.
The view in a few weeks.

Many of you may know that Brooklyn Skeptic absolutely worships fresh, locally grown, organic produce delivered right into our neighborhoods by a nearby CSA. In fact, I wrote a fuckload about it last year.
If you, too, want to be overcome with ridiculous emotions about vegetables and dirt and stuff, now is the time to sign [...]

This past Sunday, ImaginaryDomain and I attended the Rolls Royce of New York-based Springtime craft fairs: Bust Magazine’s Spring Fling Craftacular. Packed like bobbins into the Warsaw, crafty types hawked their wares to young Brooklyn women.
Bust throws these Craftaculars every year in December, at which I generally tend to stock up on pirate stationary and [...]

Baby Mama
The Plot: Amy Poehler has Tina Fay’s baby. Greg Kinnear smiles.
Is it worth eleven dollars?: No. I saw this earlier in the week with fellow BS’ers johnbaptisedme and disco fries. We all agreed that it wasn’t particularly good. Now I love me some Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I also love me some Kinnear. [...]

The Forbidden Kingdom:
The Plot: Some time traveling kid winds up in ancient China and has to fight an evil king with the help of Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Is it worth eleven dollars?: No. Putting actors like this together always seems a little forced, like when Pacino and Deniro starred in Heat (and the upcoming Righteous Kill). [...]

Remember that time you had a crush on that tasty morsel of potential life mate, and you found out that they hated your face, plunging you into an abyss of despair? Then remember how Blackbeard the pirate broke into your house and kidnapped your family, and you were like “well I’m bummed, but boy, talk [...]

As though to further prove the point that print media has shuffled off to obsolenscence, the New York Times reports today on the scourge plaguing modern Americans: toothbrushes whose ergonomic designs render them too girthy for their toothbrush holders.
Come on now.

Welcome back to Movies for Substance Abusers. In this week’s post, we’ll discuss Prom Night. Why did a group of twenty-somethings decide to attend a screening of a PG-13 slasher movie that looked absolutely awful? Some questions are better left unanswered.
Movie: Prom Night
When: Friday, 10:10 pm
Substances Abused: A few beers, a 40oz. of something called [...]

Chaos Theory:
The Plot: Uptight suburbanite decides to embrace chaos.
Is it worth eleven dollars?: Probably not. Advance reviews aren’t great, and the director’s last effort, Pretty Persuasion, was a big mess of a movie. That being said, the trailer is amusing and dark, and Ryan Reynolds can be very funny when given the proper material. I [...]
