Coming back from our Bruce Willis Adventure in 1997 our flex capacitor* went haywire and UMPHH! Takashi and I crash-landed in 1983. Not just any 1983 though. An appropriate Hollywood lead in might sound a little something like this: “In a world where crime rules the streets. Where hooligans wait on every corner to rape, … Continue reading
A couple weeks ago I came home from work and found a package addressed to me on the doorstep. No return address. It was from a DVD discount vendor. I figured it was something my wife ordered. When I opened it I found Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, a post Pulp Fiction-phenomenon picture I … Continue reading
One day last week I came home from work and found a package waiting for me. It had my name on it and no return address. Opening it I found a DVD, something starring Bruce Willis that I had never heard of before called Last Man Standing. I figured my wife must have been the … Continue reading
I have put off Mother of Tears for well over a year, partially because my video store didn’t have it and partially because everyone trashed it so much I sure as hell wasn’t going to risk buying it for $20. I mean, I was actually kind of afraid to watch the thing. I had even … Continue reading

Today it is nice and windy in Southern Los Angeles as I write this. It’s afternoon – I got to wake up late, as it is my day off. This was good. I read for a bit in bed. I’m reading Ray Bradbury’s SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES and it is awesome. After a time … Continue reading
Wow, if you had told me I would procure a time machine and then use it to go back to a year like 1980 I would have called you freakin’ nuts (unless we were going back to see The Cure in concert at their best that is). However Takashi and I did indeed travel back … Continue reading
This blog was originally going to be about DC Comic’s FINAL CRISIS, which I just finished reading in it’s shiny new Hardcover format. However after I finished reading it I immediately felt like I had to A) read it again, and B) go online and research a lot of stuff about the DCU before I … Continue reading
Just finished CRIME, the latest by Welsh. I was initially a little bit afraid to read this one, which is why I waited the very long 8 months or so for it to transition from Hardcover to QP. Welsh never pulls any punches and I think the review I read of the book just prior … Continue reading
(Mild Spoilers below folks) Wow. After finally seeing Drag Me to Hell last week all I can say is Wow. Wait, that’s not exactly true. As I recall as the movie advanced from about the forty minute point an insatiable desire to stand up and scream FUCK YEAH!!! clawed at my consciousness for the remainder … Continue reading
