SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE NOT CURRENTLY WATCHING THE SHOW ON AMC I am sitting here listening to TV on the Radio’s latest album Dear Science, specifically track ten, DLZ. I cannot hear this song ever again and not think of what was yet another of the best scenes I have EVER seen in a series. … Continue reading
This blog is probably going to venture into some vague spoilers for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and some strong spoilers for the original version of The Vanishing. If you haven’t seen the Vanishing and don’t know the details of its main twist I’d suggest not reading further, hell I’d suggest not reading further … Continue reading
Ever since The Haimster departed this mortal coil and left Felddog behind, I’ve had a hankering to watch a couple of their classic team-ups*. Sure there were the obvious choices like Blown Away, Dream a Little Dream 2, or National Lampoon’s Last Resort, but I felt like going for one of their lesser known works: … Continue reading
With the latest Plinkett review a few days behind us, I’ve found the ongoing discussion on CHUD pretty fascinating. The prequels obviously mean a lot to people, the ones who grew up on Star Wars. I am not one of those people. So why, then, are the prequels so disappointing to me? Star Wars has … Continue reading

Already deep enough into the season’s run when the announcement was made, the show runners were unable to alter the storyline they had … Continue reading

Honestly the marketing wasn’t working for me. It felt to “kiddish” and I was afraid to give it a chance. … Continue reading
Got my hands on a free pass for this film, which is the right price for me, if not always the best motivation for seeing a movie (That is, after all, how I ended up seeing Jerry Springer’s Ringmaster in the theater). Having, to be honest, not much interest in seeing this, I must say; … Continue reading
The Knife’s Opera, new Black Francis and a bunch of other goodies
Dr. Horrible 2 is being written! This is wonderful news. If only because I loved the original. But then again I am partial to musicals. According to Whedonopolis.com, Dr. Horrible 2 is currently being written. Of course that doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but the sooner there is a script, the sooner production can start.
