Subtle Bluntness

I was listening to the BS Report, that podcast that Bill Simmons does over at ESPN, and during his long conversation with Chris Connelly, they discussed some things that kind of piqued my interest.  Connelly mentioned the demise of the various industries and brand names, like sports, music, and particularly writing.  I’ll try to transcribe [...]

So, Christmas.  That happened.  You know, in spite of myself, I had a pretty good holiday.  I guess forcing myself to feel the Christmas spirit worked, at least partially, because I didn’t totally hate the holiday season.  The time I took off from work probably helped that, too.  Either way, Christmas was fun. For the [...]

I Wanna Rock U Hard This Xmas – watch more funny videos In the words of the Dan Band, “Have a very merry motherfucking Christmas.  Peace on earth, we are the world, and frickin’ kumbaya!”

If you want to know my best and worst movies of 2009, head on over to Den of Geek and check me out.  I’m the guy at the bottom who writes way more than everyone else, because I just HAD to rant about how lousy Miss March was.  There are some, ahem, interesting choices from [...]

I’m struggling mightily with my holiday blues.  This has been the year from hell for a whole lot of friends, both new and old, and while things are going okay for me comparatively, it’s still hard to keep a brave face on this time of year.  The fact that I’m STILL not ready for Christmas [...]

Well, there’s officially a new worst movie opening ever.  If you thought Gigli was an epic failure, you haven’t seen Transylmania.  The vampire comedy (and totally not a spoof of vampire movies despite having a lookalike for Kate Beckinsale as a vampire hunting chick, as some sock puppet corrected me in the comments) hit new [...]

You have your choice of creepy mash-ups for your Feel Good Friday today.  There’s Rick Astley vs. Nirvana and there’s Rick Astley vs. Nine Inch Nails.  Choose your adventure! If you didn’t laugh and shake your head in a bemused manner, then allow me to present you with the NSFW mash-up of Lil John and [...]

I got to indulge my inner child this weekend by going to see Ninja Assassin, the new martial arts movie starring Korean pop star Rain, Naomie Harris, and Sho Kosugi, the king of the ninja.  I can honestly say I went in expecting something awful, but what I got was a slice of deliciously brainless [...]
