After I wrote about the bizarre absurdity of an Idiocracy tie-in product being released – especially one as weird as Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator energy drink – the PR company handling the new beverage got in touch and wanted to know if I would like to try some Brawndo. What the fuck, I figured, it’s … Continue reading →
I’ve been surprised by the angst on display from internetters in regards to Peter Jackson’s planned two Hobbit films. I would have thought that if any human being on Earth had earned the benefit of the doubt when it came to Tolkein’s work, it was Jackson (and his collaborators).

When I was in high school, I interviewed a woman who was taken hostage by John Dillinger. I have no idea what happened to the text of our conversation, but I remember her talking about getting blindfolded and held out on the running board as they sped out of Bluffton, Ohio. She felt she was … Continue reading →
This is a helluva way to come back from a maternity leave. Undoubtedly, Salma Hayek is one of the sexiest women alive. Feel free to dispute this, and feel free to know that you are wrong. So I’m thrilled that she’s finally returning to the big screen after taking time off to do the whole … Continue reading →
