So, I did my top 100 movies of the new millenium last week, and it’s got me to thinking about the last decade in general. Since my thoughts seem to go in every direction at once, this is going to be more of a collection of random thoughts than a point by point rundown. So, … Continue reading
Comic books fans are most familiar with this; Serialized comic stories go on for decades, and over the years there are some elements that you find. . . not so great. So you choose to ignore them. Sometimes, the company themselves chooses to ignore them, and you get events like Crisis On Infinite Earths, which … Continue reading
So I just walked out of A Serious Man and I’m not sure what to make of it. I’ll jot some thoughts about the movie here. First of all, I thought it was kind of inaccessible in some ways. I mean, in general you can see that this is perhaps a character study of Larry … Continue reading
Not a particularly great week for Kathryn and Legacy. Hopefully they will move on to the top 8. The dancers got to dance in couples twice and did a solo. Kathryn was paired with Nathan.

But eventually, I think it is difficult to conclude that what we’re watching is anything other than a psychological breakdown. Throughout … Continue reading
I planned on blogging about some CD’s I ordered from Amazon a week and a half ago and giving my reviews for the site. The problem is that they have yet to arrive at my house. Picking your shipping options is a big deal during the holiday season. One I obviously screwed up on. USPS … Continue reading
200 Words is a daily burst of ideas, thoughts, or impressions on media, film, and filmmaking. The goal is nothing more or less than conversation. 11/29/09 …are simply not enough- the film is the kind that will give you as much as you are willing to take. I left the theater (…more accurately, the porno … Continue reading
Sometimes you miss the boat completely. How is it that I’m only hearing about this incredible show now, five years after it aired in the UK? Those of you who are new to Darkplace, it’s a show within a show, a spoof of an 80s supernatural medical drama, incredibly funny in its bad acting and … Continue reading
