And judging from the response it’s getting at the Sundance Film Festival, the film has that…
We at Cultist must confess a certain fondness for Urban Outfitters, purveyors of ironic tees, man-repelling women’s attire, and hipster gadgets of all sorts. There’s something comforting and innocent about the atmosphere inside the store, like being wrapped in a warm blanket of nonchalance and idealism.Apparently, New England Patriots wide…

When we asked Ellen Wedner, director of the Miami Jewish Film Festival, how this year’s fest will compare with its predecessors, she put it bluntly: “Having movies will be the same.” Wedner was joking, of course, but this year’s festival does have a remarkably different look to it, compared to…
“Isn’t every film festival a Jewish film festival?” That’s how Uncle Bubba from the Panhandle responded when we told him the Miami Jewish Film Festival was coming to town Saturday. “Don’t be an asshole,” we sighed. Then we explained that the movies shown at the Miami Jewish Film Festival aren’t…
It was just another stressed-out, guilt-ridden day for Cathy. Her boss, Mr. Pinkley, expected her to work overtime. She just couldn’t seem to find Mr. Right.

Get ready to feel ashamed of your flabby arms, Twitterverse. Michelle Obama launched her own Twitter account this morning, promising to help tweeters across the globe “connect” with FLOTUS herself (and President Obama’s campaign, of course).This wasn’t the first tweet by the First Lady — in October, she sent out…
Just when you thought Miami’s art fairs couldn’t get any more obscenely glam, the Miami International Art Fair one-ups everybody by taking all of its high-priced, avant-garde showpieces and putting them on a yacht. And not just any yacht — this is the Seafair, a four-deck megayacht that ranks among…
If you only watch one fake pizza ad featuring a severed penis today, make it this one. Pizza Boomerang, a video from the folks at Sofa Experience Communications, is hands-down the best pizza commercial we’ve seen this year. It all starts with a low-rent Thor look-alike, cooking up a boomerang-shaped…

”Miami’s arts scene is really developing these days.” It’s a sentiment we’ve been hearing for so long that it’s damn near a cliche. But that doesn’t make it any less true. The creative types who call South Florida home have been transforming our city into a unique and fascinating community…
Is it just us, or is tv getting more bizarre by the day? Five years ago, if you’d asked us if a show about storage facilities would be successful, we’d have yawned in your face. Today, of course, Storage Wars is just the tip of the “watch these weird people…
The new year is upon us, with all the hopes and dreams that accompany it. Maybe you’ve resolved to lose weight. Maybe you’ve resolved finally stop drinking so damn much. Here at Cultist, we support neither of those goals. But there is one resolution we can help out with: helping…
