Several years ago a friend tried to get me to read David Foster Wallace’s INFINITE JEST. IF you know what it is, you know why I hesitant to make that commitment. I had recently read an interview DFW had done with David Lynch, one of my favorite directors, and loving Mr. Wallace’s writing style made … Continue reading
Just today I’ve gotten a ton of emails from people wondering if we’re not hyping Let the Right One In too much. Devin started it on the site when he saw the film and (rightfully) fell in love with it during Fantastic Fest. It’d been hyped up for me as well before I was finally … Continue reading
A Nice Hard Slap – Don’t Be Koei With Me. The Dynasty Warriors series of video games is the most creatively bankrupt and inexplicably supported one in the history of consoles yet it is the flagship franchise for KOEI, one of the greatest video game companies ever to write software for the planet. Who the … Continue reading
I wanted to share a story or two from my previous experiences at SavFF. I feel like the festival can boast a really fantastic environment. Such a large mix of bright-eyed students mixed with the Savannah high-class makes for an interesting time. The conversations you end up having are with people who fall into one … Continue reading
Seeing as how we are but a week away from Halloween, I thought maybe I should bring some much needed attention to a memorable character that scared the living daylights out of me when I was a child. What’s peculiar, however, is the fact that she was on screen for no more than three minutes … Continue reading
The Television Return of Who Gives a Fuck!Recently, I saw an ad for the television show Eli Stone, which I have never seen because while I like Johnny Lee Miller I already get my daily requirement of bland from baked potatoes and corn flakes. Ads are important for television shows as they drive viewers to … Continue reading
Al Qaeda Endorses McCain Now that al Qaeda has endorsed John McCain, it’ll be fascinating to hear McCain and his allies explain why America’s #1 enemy has thrown its support to him. In case you don’t remember, back in May McCain argued that Hamas had endorsed Obama, took these “endorsements” at face value, and concluded … Continue reading
There are certain days when I feel older than I did the day before. It’s not a bad thing necessarily, just odd. Yesterday, I made one of my most exciting purchases of the year (aside from my iPhone of course). I headed into Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought an egg crate mattress. A little … Continue reading
Some days, there’s a movie… The day of the screening for Slumdog Millionaire, I was wiped. I’d been up late the night before doing homework, had around five, six hours of sleep when all’s said and done, taken a test, and just generally felt like going home and making myself some comfort food. I kind … Continue reading
As my good friend reminds me, the new Incredible Hulk movie is now out on DVD. I liked the movie more than enough to recommend it to anyone with any childhood affection for the character. Conflicted hero; big green monsters, widespread property damage = I don’t see what’s to criticize! This stuff … Continue reading
