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
The Willful Stupidity of Anti-Gay Prejudice This post began as a response to a series of comments on my FaceBook page, where I posted a video of Rachel Maddow interviewing Rep. Patrick Murphy, an 82nd Airborne Iraq war veteran, winner of the Bronze Star, and Congress’s point man for the repeal of the military’s Don’t … 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
Each post, I revisit a film I loved as a lad, most of them inappropriate given my tender age at the time, and decide if they still pass muster. Stream of conscious rambling and massive spoilers ahead, always. Just One of the Guys (April 26, 1985) The Joey Gist: Look, I have no idea when … Continue reading
We need more beasts to arrive from nowhere and fuck our perception of reality. We need misshapen brethren from the sea to rise and give us a taste of horror.

All of them have suffered their ups and downs on screen and off, and have had to resort to drastic measures to maintain relevance. Steven Seagal has maintained … Continue reading
We all love money. We all need it. And yet it’s a point of stress for most. It’s hard to know what enough is. When it comes to bills, the strain involved can feel like an unwanted visitor always knocking at the back door. But it’s one of those things–you know you gotta deal with … Continue reading
Back in 1996 I was first introduced to Resident Evil by my cousin. As with everyone who has played it, the damn dogs scared the crap out of me when I ran through that hall. The game was a lot fun, and equal times scary and fun. In 1997 I bought the Director’s Cut that … Continue reading
