The Dork Report for Feburary 3, 2007

Kids-in-Mind is my new favorite site, boldly mak­ing no dis­tinc­tion between par­ents (look­ing for infor­ma­tion about the lat­est piece of crap their kids are beg­ging to see) and right-wing cul­tural war­riors (look­ing for some­thing else upon which to blame soci­ety). Accord­ing to my non-scientific sur­vey of the site con­tents, Scary Movie is pos­si­bly the most offen­sive, child-warping movie ever made, out-raunching even Borat. Hon­or­able men­tion: a sur­pris­ingly strong show­ing by Pride & Prej­u­dice with a Sex/Nudity score of 3 out of a pos­si­ble 10. Excerpt: “A woman kisses a man’s hand and they hug. A man and a woman argue, and then they come close to kiss­ing each other but do not.” (fea­tur­ing guest report­ing by Andrea)

A fas­ci­nat­ing scrap of Hol­ly­wood his­tory is uncov­ered by the New York Post: learn not only that Hitch­cock snubbed Speil­berg, but more inter­est­ingly, why! (guest sub­mis­sion from Andrea)

Smash­ing Mag­a­zine inspires us with 50 wee 16x16 fav­i­con mas­ter­pieces, orga­nized into Web 2.0-cliché cat­e­gories like “Petal.” Also linked: another huge fav­i­con col­lec­tion at Delta Tango Bravo.
