To be young: student protests are the best

Some NYU Students have occupied a dining hall and are making demands!

...and getting naked.

I'm all in favor of student protests, especially if they seem to have mostly coherent demands.

To stay up with the whole crazy shindig see Take back NYU

Instead of a Rage Against The Machine selection, I offer this ditty in their honor, cuz all student protests should join in choreographed dance and sing, "We are young...we are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong!"

I had totally forgotten that the "watch your butt" guy from Raising Arizona played Pat Benatar's dad.

by the way, you can't hate Nic Cage as an actor and acknowledge that Raising Arizona exists. The two ideas are mutually exclusive.

you can certainly hate him, and for the very fact that RA does exist . If he was just a hack, then it wouldn't be so bad. But when you have his subtle and brilliant work (like Adaptation) full of vulnerability and desire, and then compare that to his southern accent in Con Air, and yes, there is room for hatred. Consider how he would have destroyed The Wrestler (the producer's first choice, according to rumor). For more on this, see Jack Black dialogue from High Fidelity regarding Stevie Wonder "I just called to say I love you"...
