Subtle Bluntness

So I went to see Up this weekend.  It’s the #1 movie at the box office this weekend (because it’s a Pixar film) and as I said in my review, it’s a wonderful movie (because it’s a Pixar film).  If you have anything even remotely close to a romantic bone in your body, bring tissues [...]

SuperJail is one of the best shows on TV right now.  If you’re not watching it, then you’re missing out on some of the most hilarious violence on screen since the climactic lawnmower scene in Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive.  But me saying that doesn’t prove anything, so watch this video instead.

So people send me DVDs.  I write reviews of them and link to them.  People read them and tell me I suck or that I am awesome.  If they tell me I’m awesome, I know they’re smart and handsome people.  If they tell me I suck, I know that they should probably be issued helmets [...]

So that happened.  Tyler Perry’s Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail made $41 million dollars this weekend.  In turn, I jammed a salad fork into the bottom of my foot. In less unpleasant news, I got to review I Love The 80’s:  The Naked Gun and Choke:  Special Edition for various places.  I love it [...]

The electricity is back at my house.  I could not be more pleased.  Actually, I guess it’s been on since late Saturday, but last night was the first night it was on without an outage for the whole night.  This is major progress, especially given that we’re supposed to get more snow Tuesday and Wednesday. [...]

For some reason, in both things I did this week for Den of Geek (the weekend box office report, back after a short hiatus, and a review of Zack and Miri Make A Porno), I talk a lot about Kevin Smith as a filmmaker.  Maybe it’s because I talked about Kevin Smith’s new movie, but [...]

Rich and I did the SportsBastards podcast tonight.  I don’t know why, but we seem to have a better, sharper show when there’s a third person involved.  There was no StatGirl tonight, sadly, so it was just us, and the thing seemed to ramble a bit.  Kind of like the blog, but worse, because there’s [...]

Of the new characters introduced in Little Britain, the one that seems to be the least amusing to me is the eighth man on the moon, Bing Gordyn. All the good things I said about the show in my episode 2 review seem to fall by  the wayside when this new addition in on the [...]

For those of you who’ve been reading back a few months, you’ll remember my summer movie spree where I’d throw up a couple of paragraphs, shoe-horn in a link to my latest Den of Geek review (like this one for Burn After Reading), and call it a night. Mostly because I was so busy watching [...]

I’ll just say this right out front. Tropic Thunder is the movie that’s going to revive Tom Cruise’s career. Seriously, he’s *that* good in this movie that if you see it for no other reason, go see it for Tom Cruise. I’ve never said that about Tom Cruise in my life, I’ve never imagined I’d [...]
