Something happens when you grow up with a film. It very nearly becomes a litmus test against which you understand your changing awareness and sensibilities because it stays the same while you’re always changing. You stop identifying with just the children. You finally catch the jokes that flew over your head, and then eventually you … Continue reading
I’m no expert on Italian people or their culture. I understand that they enjoy neverending salad bowls and detest Koopa Troopas, but that’s about it. On a trip to Rome, I thought about exploring the ruins–touching history, immersing myself in the world. But the big-ass Coca-Cola I’d purchased on the train was stolen from my … 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

So earlier today I went to my first comic/anime/video games convention. I finally hit a milestone in my life. Sadly it was a milestone I had to achieve alone. Most of my friends that I hung around with here have moved away. The only friend I still have that’s here is a dear friend that … Continue reading
Quite frequently I find myself fielding the same questions over and over whenever I am introduced to somebody new. Questions like, “Sweet bastard, what’s that smell?”And “Sweet bastard, what the hell’s wrong with your teeth?” I haven’t figured out the answer to the first question yet (I have theories), but I do know the answer … Continue reading
Psycho. Jaws. Casablanca. Everyone's heard of them. But here are a few great films I think run second to none.
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
