With the (hopefully false) rumors circling the mill about Tarantino remaking Russ Myers’ extraordinarily stupendously sensational Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! I’ve revisited an idea I had several years ago – I want to create a staged, musical version of the film. Like most of my little projects I didn’t get very far, but when the … Continue reading
I’m briefly back on the topic of audio commentaries thanks to popular demand (i.e.: two people). This time I’m covering the worst the format has to offer. I’ve probably listened to more bad audio commentaries then most people, so this entry could simply boil down to a sad list of sad-ness, but I think I’ll … Continue reading
In keeping with my nostalgic and obsessive-compulsive moods I’m looking back on many of my childhood favorite cartoons, most of which I haven’t seen since I was a child. I’m trying to avoid needless nostalgia and look at these shows as objectively and honestly as I can. At the same time, these aren’t meant as … Continue reading
I’m in a sort of obsessive compulsive and nostalgic funk lately, so I think this blog is going to be all about cataloging my perpetual childhood for future reference. I’m starting with a list. Lists are always good. I think I’ve made it clear in my short blogging tenure that most of my entertainment life … Continue reading
Continuing my thought on audio commentaries: I’ll start with the director I forgot on the last post: David Fincher As Heard On: Seven (with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) and Zodiac. The Must Listen: Fight Club (both the solo track and the actor track with Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter) I Still … Continue reading

I hated school as a child. I hated it. I got really good grades, made plenty of friends, played well with others, but I still hated the ritual of going to school. The last days of summer vacation were always the worst days of the year. I’d literally watch television on the couch all day, … Continue reading
Edit: I noticed some lame typos. I’m sorry about that. I’ve got a million ideas floating around in my head right now. Devin’s editorial about the future of DC comics in movies helped focus me, for a blog post at least. I don’t really consider myself a comic book reader, mostly because I don’t really … Continue reading
Some folks may’ve heard that both the US and UK incarnations of Tartan Films had closed their doors, leaving us bereft of many future foreign film releases. I’ve been the main reviewer of Tartan US releases on DVDActive.com for some time now, and even got my name aboard two releases (the one wasn’t actually released … Continue reading
So I’ve been taking some time off from real work and fake work to spend time with my girlfriend, who’s about to be shipped off to Japan for a year. I’ve decided that not updating this blog for three weeks would be a bad idea, so I’ve come up with a little something to fill … Continue reading
