I’d be a liar if I didn’t say I had a huge soft spot for Dark City. To me it was one of the best science fiction films of recent years. I remember seeing it when it came out on video and thinking how original and interesting it was. Thinking about what a world it … Continue reading
When I was a junior in college, George Carlin came to campus and performed a show. This was April of 1992, and it was pretty exciting to have such a comedy legend in person, up there on stage. In fact, Carlin even consented to an interview for the campus newspaper, of which I was the … Continue reading
I’m one of those people who seems to acquire more books than he knows what to do with. They’ll clutter up the bookshelves in my home and sooner or later my wife is suggesting that maybe some should be donated to the local public library if I’m not going to read them all.

Shhhh….” “I think that Indiana Jones was really in love with Marion. Like, seriously in love. Seriously, he was like, deep, deep in love. And … Continue reading
I’ve had a rather tenacious case of insomnia the last few months, so I’ve been culling though my animation collection. A few weeks ago I finished watching every episode of Batman: The Animated Series, and I’ve moved on now to The Justice League. I’m particularly susceptible to enjoying animated television, so my opinion on cartoons … Continue reading
A blog about how Kris Kristofferson is the most badass man in the world.
You’re doing great work. I think you’ve succeeded in warning parents about the gratuitous tobacco imagery in The Incredible Hulk. I’m extremely sick of movies parenting kids. Tons of awful parents — parents that deserve lung cancer — have let their kids see this movie and I can imagine every kid walking out of the … Continue reading
