The news that John McCain plans to have a digitally resurrected Ronald Reagan introduce him at the CPAC incited a shitstorm (well, a shit sun-shower, really) of blogger rants and raves this morning. Check out the promotional image for yourself: What’s the big deal? Not much, especially if you consider the other Hollywood figures McCain … Continue reading
The past couple of days I’ve been sick, and, since I’ve gone through all my DVDs from Netflix for the time being (the ones that I can process in my five-seconds-from puking state, anyway), I’ve been watching a lot of television. I watch a lot of television to begin with, but I don’t normally sit … Continue reading
TSTL and You A new epidemic has stricken the earth. It is a wildfire in our midst threatening to destroy the very fabric of humanity. Many of you are already infected. Don’t believe me? Answer the following questions: 1. Do you avoid sitting in traffic by using the shoulder?2. Do you speak fluent Klingon?3. Ever miss … Continue reading
CHUD.com is fantastic and knows it… even if not everyone else does (or even needs to). It’s even fantastic enough to smugly tell you so with one of the most subjectively accurate title tags ever committed to META: “CHUD.com-A film site for the brilliant.” I’m not disgorging praise because I wrote* for CHUD or was … Continue reading

Among the piles of drek that I might request, there might be something that is gold, something that sticks in my mind long after I review the movie. I reviewed a Tartan DVD last year called 11:59. The movie … Continue reading

After scrolling through the some 3000 addresses the message had been sent to before me, I found the actual message. It made a comparison between illegal immigration and someone breaking into your home. The great thing is that after … Continue reading

Ask any Rock Band addict) and I may be geting to that age where new music just doesn’t excite me anymore. That’s okay. I don’t have to be on … Continue reading
Apparently, we don’t care a lot. I’ve always been a bit wary of the memory/timing/party games like D.D.R. and Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I know they’re probably a blast to play but have always lost any interest once I’ve seen the game in action with some blubbering automaton rocking out in a catatonic state … Continue reading
No word on my Rock Band guitar coffin. When I log in to the EA support site, I get an internal server error. Meanwhile, it’s Super Tuesday, and I just wanted to tell everyone who is supporting Ron Paul that you’re a fucking moron. Unless you’re a hardcore social conservative isolationist, then he’s your evil … Continue reading
It occured to me a few weeks ago that the Tyson Pot-Pie recall had a greater impact on my life than the writers strike. True story.
