As I sit here sifting through mountains of fan mail and nude fan-portraits, I keep reading the same questions over and over: “Where’s your Rescue Me blog?” “The show’s been so great the past few weeks; haven’t you been watching?” “Don’t you want to finish what you started?” (That’s what she said.) … Continue reading
Long enough title? I was originally going to go with ‘when the pawn hits the conflict…’ but you know, that was taken. Anyway, recently while reading Comic Shop News I saw a blurb about abc’s (former) show PUSHING DAISIES being picked up by DC as a comic to continue the series. I blogged here before … Continue reading
The Torture Temptation What I find most remarkable about America’s debate regarding torture — beyond the fact that such a debate could even be necessary in America — is the continual recourse of both proponents and opponents to the question of whether torture works. I can’t think of any other illegal behavior — not murder, … Continue reading
So last night I took in a viewing of Gran Torino on Blu-ray with my friend. We’re both fans of Clint, and he hadn’t seen it yet, and of course we had a blast with it. So right after it was done, We took in a viewing of Xandau. Neither of us had ever seen … Continue reading

Really though… I did not need to be dragged to this movie. Until such a time as the gods smile down upon us and we are graced with the 4th Evil Dead film, ‘Drag me to Hell’ will tide me over. Who cares that Raimi was forced to put out a PG 13 rated movie? … Continue reading
This is inspired by a recent post at my girlfriend’s blog, who talked about her favorite representations of New York in cinema. Partially to show her up, and partially because about half of her picks would’ve been on my list, I decided to expand it to THE ENTIRE WORLD. Basically, using the same criteria by … Continue reading
Mr. Ferrell, Why do you persist sir? You have to know that you are not funny. You have to. How could you not? Does the flower not know of it’s beauty? Does the killer not know what he/she is?
