Someone asked recently what the opposite of hipster was and the first thing that came to mind was douchebag. Then I couldn’t decide if that was an antonym or a synonym… Attus Apparel introduces their Spring/Summer 2008 looks while also making a great statement on an all too common douchebag look by showcasing an honored recipient of the Planet Douche Award.

Planet Douche World Record

On April 29, 2008 our boy Rex Vanderwoodsen set the Planet Douche World Record for the most popped collars worn at the same time by an individual. He did wear 23 Attus polos, popped all 23 collars, and he did take home the Golden Pig Award.

Seeing as how we’re a little slow for workflow around the office, I took a 1/2 day yesterday and went to see Iron Man. I went for a 1pm DLP showing and it was almost totally worth it. The film was amazing, Robert Downey, Jr. makes a great Stark and I was really impressed with Paltrow. The other actors… not so much, really. I’ve read that the movie collapses under its own weight and I could see where it reached that point, but really just ignore all that “weak plot” stuff and it’s a really fun flick.

Things I miss about going to the movies:

• the big screen
• trailers on the big screen

Things I don’t miss about going to the movies:

• the price
• the lack of healthy snacks
• the seats (and questionably “clean” floors)
• the commercials
• the number of trailers
• the crowds (though at 1pm on a Wedsnesday, this wasn’t a problem)
• the loud, rude, urban woman that sat right behind me, took calls on her cell phone during the movie, clearly knew nothing about Iron Man or the way movies work and who during the tense moments must have thought she was watching Jerry Springer instead of a scripted film and just kept saying, “Oh shit, oh shit, OH SHIT!!” over and over again.
• did I already mention the price?
