Subtle Bluntness

Wouldn’t you like to watch KUNT on your television?  Of course you would.  I know I’m already one of KUNT’s biggest fans, and they haven’t broadcast a single program yet.  Who doesn’t like a little KUNT now and then? We all know why Kevin Bae, a VP at KM Communications, selected these long‑unused call signs.  [...]

On Monday, July 25, the Walt Disney company moved to ban all depictions of smoking from their products released under that banner. They also stated that they would “discourage” the depiction of smoking from their adult-oriented Touchstone and Miramax products as well. Good for them, right? A little something to tell the kids not to [...]

As you folks know, I toil away at a variety of web-based ventures for no money. Well, that’s no longer the case, at least officially. I still toil away at a variety of web-based ventures for no money, but at least once my toiling has netted me a crisp, sparkly new Amazon.com gift card! And [...]

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I report the demise of the vaunted tabloid publication, The Weekly World News. When I was a kid, I’d spent a lot of days and nights over at my grandmother’s house. As anyone with a grandparent can tell you, the spoiling of young Ron was [...]

There is a checkered history when it comes to action films. The traditional mould for stars of what I like to call ‘karate guy’ films is to take a martial artist of some renown, stick him in front of a camera with actors and stuntmen, string together some sort of marginal plot (usually taking revenge [...]

Exciting image, isn’t it?  Doesn’t it make you want to go to Den of Geek, especially if you saw it in Britain’s largest technology magazine?  Or perhaps one of many other magazines owned by said company?  I know I do. The thought that the general public may soon be reading the things I write for [...]

So I’ve been encouraged by the Squirrel Queen to start my own religion.  As she said, “if L. Ron Hubbard can create his own religion, how about the church of El Ron Hollywood. Sports, zombies and beer – the religious triple threat.”  Of course, being an egomaniac who owns a copy of “How To Organize [...]

So, because I know Newscoma cares, here are my thoughts on America’s Big Brother and why this season has been so awful. Sarah, though, brought up an interesting point. Their Big Brother franchises (8 seasons of Big Brother, 5 seasons of Celebrity Big Brother, and one season of Teen Big Brother that was marred by [...]

…surely make you lose your mind (if you hate driving on the expressway as much as I do). It doesn’t matter what time of day or night I drive through NashVegas, there’s always a crowd. Every time I drive through Nashville, I run into traffic. It never, ever fails. I’ve never breezed through Nashville on [...]

You know, you Tennessee people are all right. The Flying Saucer is my new best friend. Delicious beer floats, great sandwiches, and more beer than even I could possibly comprehend. Mmm… beer. Don’t drink and drive, kids. You might spill your drink. Oh yeah, for those of you with pictures from the weekend, hook a [...]
