I was reading somewhere just the other day that someone in France is planning to make a musical out of David Cronenberg’s 1986 version of “The Fly.” Dear God. What is pop culture coming to? (Even scarier was a comment by one of my co-workers that a similar treatment may be in store for “The … Continue reading
My little rant on Quentin Tarantino the king of cool.
Somehow, I’ve found myself in the mood for British comedy. I’ve been trying to catch up on some old BBC shows that I might’ve missed, and while scouring the internet for information I inevitably ended up on Amazon.com, knee-deep in the checkout screen. My mouse decided it wanted to spend some of my hard-earned cash … Continue reading
Jesus Christ, my ex-girlfriend has gotten fat. I ran into her last night at the bar, which is weird because I almost never go to the bar. Mostly because I hate running into people. Being so charming and physically attractive, people tend to remember me. Being a four-year survivor of a major airline disaster, I … Continue reading

After the release of Paycheck, John Woo has not shot another feature film in the past five years. Thank God, many would say. … Continue reading
Right, so I watched Wanted this past weekend. Enough people have already written reviews of the film, so I’m not going to waste time stating why I feel the way I do about it. Let’s move on to two interesting things I noticed while watching the movie. But for the record, I fucking loved that … Continue reading
So, while all of you out there argue about how big a hit The Dark Knight is going to be or how much Hancock sucks or why M. Night Shyamalan should just up and quit already, I finally got around to playing Silent Hill: Origins. Reason it took this long is because I don’t own … Continue reading
TheraFlu. NyQuil. Airborne. Ricola. Cold-Eeze. Herbal tea. Monkey penis. Luden’s. Robitussin and Tylenol PM. I’ve ingested all of these medicines, lozenges, drinks and voodoo cures all within the past week because I’ve been trudging along in a hallucinatory state on account of catching a severe cold. Have you seen those pump-gun tubes in the back of … Continue reading
