Halloween is still more then a month away, and I haven’t seen a single person in costume, or even stepped into a single costume shop. I have no idea what’s even bing made available. That said, I can state with every ounce of my most sure fire conviction that I’m already sick of Joker costumes. … Continue reading
Look Who’s Talking is a drama I made about the plight of single mothers everywhere. It’s hard enough to shove a baby out of your action, but these women get up the next morning and go to work, so they can get up in the middle of the night to feed those fuckers. Breastmilk ain’t … Continue reading
A Nice Hard Slap – Punk Covers are Dumb. Alien Ant Farm’s Smooth Criminal?Automatic Hotel’s Brown-Eyed Girl?The hundreds of other covers of hot songs by “punk” bands? DUMB.

Me and Orson Welles is such a film; a light, frothy period piece with interesting, funny characters and one centerpiece performance. Prior to the screening, the film had been tapped to be Zac Efron’s breakthrough … Continue reading
To be brief, I have not blogged in a long time because I am getting married. I will probably not blog for another three weeks. You understand. In any case, a night of drinking and needing something to not really pay attention to, we decided on Sideways, a curious film by Alexander Payne. My favorite … Continue reading
Obama Eats Special Needs Children! James Taranto has an article in today’s Wall Street Journal in which he professes outrage at anyone who would suggest John McCain picked Sarah Palin because she was walked the pro-life walk (as, indeed, she has). The article is worth a read: Taranto distorts the meaning of some of the … Continue reading
Last week, I wrote of my harrowing journey through the bowels of the Downtown Atlanta Sheraton into the sweaty belly of the beast that is modern Star Trek fandom. I attended a Dragon*Con screening of a lavishly produced fan film, partly because it promised some hot gay action between Captain Kirk’s long-lost nephew and some … Continue reading
