Subtle Bluntness

Well, I saw two movies in the last two weeks, Jennifer’s Body and Surrogates.  Jennifer’s Body was fun horror/comedy, and Surrogates was kind of fun (because of Bruce Willis) sci-fi/action, but it was Surrogates that got my brain a-scrambling like a midget on a treadmill.  Well, it was a combination of Surrogates and this quote [...]

Dad and I are going to see these guys tomorrow night at the Horseshoe Casino.  I am incredibly excited and look forward to having John Popper blow my mind with his epic harp skills.

I’ve seen The Turbo A.C.’s at least three times, and every time they’re a serious treat.  Every album is perfect for rolling down the windows, cranking up the volume, and speeding down the highway.  Just be careful, because you’ll be rolling at 80 before you know it. I end up speeding every time I put [...]

Patrick Swayze finally succumbed to pancreatic cancer.  Honestly, I never thought he’d live this long given how nasty a disease that is, but the fact that he made it through a whole season of The Beast (a really damn good show, by the way) and lived this long is pretty impressive.  You can’t say he [...]

I’ve decided that Michael C. Hall is completely incapable of acting in any role where the character is supposed to be a heterosexual.  Every role I’ve seen him in, from David Fisher to Dexter to Ken Castle in Gamer, comes across as the character being gay, even if the character isn’t supposed to be gay.  [...]

Okay, so maybe 7 didn’t eat 9, but I did go see 9, the new animated sci-fi stitchpunk post-apocalyptic action-thriller adjectives-filled feast for the eyes from executive producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov.  Oh, also director/writer/animator Shane Acker, but nobody knows who he is so let’s mention the people involved with paying for the movie [...]

I gave out my business card to someone the other day.  That’s not something new.  I mean, since I got the cards, I’ve probably given out 30 or 40, but usually only to people who I already know (and who know me well enough that they won’t be shocked by ye olde blogges or who [...]

As some of you know, I have a lot of writing jobs.  Pretty much everywhere I post these days has some sort of blog advertisement, except for this site.  Not anymore.  I’ve managed to secure myself a sponsor for Subtle Bluntness, and here’s their commercial. Actually, that’s not my sponsor.  I don’t have one.  But [...]

Well, I saw Halloween II last weekend, and I had quite a bit to say about it.  You can check out my official review here, if you are so inclined. For once, I don’t have anything I feel compelled to add to the official review in my writer’s commentary within the self-promotional blog post.  It’s [...]
