And now comes the part where I start hocking my goods onto you fine people. I warned you when this adventure began that I would eventually do a little bit of self-promotion, and so here it is. My long gestating motion picture, Nocturnia, finally has an official release date. October 16th, 2008. Now… Before you … Continue reading
You don’t need me to tell you but it’s a very good time to be a movie fan. It’s summer time, so the most explosive, anticipated films of the year are arriving, one after another. And we are the people with all the answers. Not a day goes by without a co-worker asking me about … Continue reading
I hate my kids. I’m not sure how many of the little bastards I have anymore, but they all wander around the house, making fun of my age and treating me like King Lear when I don’t give them enough spending money. I wish they’d just die or go away, but it rarely happens. Everytime … Continue reading
If you want to talk about iconic, milestone TV shows, few can claim to be more so than “MASH,” which has now been finished with its run for 25 years but of course lives on in both syndication and now DVD availability.

And mostly pointless without discussing things in depth, but I’m guessing that most of you still have another 48 hrs to wait before you see it and thus will lap up anything TDK related.

And who I would choose to do that to, should I be granted the funds to do so. And when I read that bit about his Inglorious Bastards interview, I decided … Continue reading
I woke up this morning absolutely sure there was something important to do. I knew it wasn’t work. I definitely knew it wasn’t grocery shopping. It also wasn’t my relatively overdue insurance bill. After my usual morning net surfing, I remembered Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Joss Whedon’s latest work, was going live today. But the … Continue reading
Safety First; The Constitution Second If you’re a regular reader of HOTM, you know where I stand on the recently enacted FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which grants the government broad new domestic eavesdropping powers and immunizes telecoms from previous felonies (wouldn’t it be great if retroactive immunity from felonies were available to all of … Continue reading
I Married a Monster From Outer Space- the best homophobic scifi movie ever? As a kid I thought this movie was another “red scare” flick, but watching it again today makes it look quite different, as my friend pointed out while we watched it at the bar last night. Anyone who’s not familiar with the … Continue reading
