Subtle Bluntness

I’ve noticed a lot of discussion on the various V review threads at Den of Geek, and I’ve put together a list of questions from them that I’ve been answering.  So, if you have any questions you’d like to see me answer, here’s a great place to put them (so I’ll know to see them).  [...]

Since I’m reviewing V for Den of Geek (here’s the second episode review!), I’ve been reading a lot of other responses to see what people are thinking about the show.  I figure, if they have problems that I’m not seeing, I can look for those issues.  If other people are having problems with certain aspects [...]

So did you guys catch the first episode of the new V series last night?  I did, and it was EPIC.  When I say it’s the most exciting show premier I’ve seen since Deadwood, I am NOT kidding. They managed to cover the base of the original series, but strip away a lot of the [...]

So, Twitter is going to be joining forces with Reveille Productions and Brillstein Entertainment Partners for a television show.  And yes, it’s going to be as bad as you first assumed when I mentioned Twitter TV:  It’s going to be a celebrity stalking reality gameshow. I will now go exfoliate with a belt sander. I [...]

Somehow, I’ve become Den of Geek’s version of Andy Rooney.  For those of you who aren’t total nerds and who aren’t 1,000 years old (and regular viewers of 60 Minutes), Andy Rooney is this bitter old man who gets on TV despite being in the throes of pants-shitting senility and rants and raves about how [...]

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.

Bonnie Hammer, whens he was in charge at the Sci Fi Channel, almost ruined the network.  This is the woman who, among other things, canceled MST3K.  Now that she’s managed to fail her way up the food chain at NBC Universal, her war on the Sci Fi Channel continues as she’s ordered her acolytes to [...]

Of the four major networks, Fox broadcasts the least amount of network primetime programming, and the highest percentage of their programming is science fiction (unless you count ‘drama’ as a category, which I don’t because most of their dramas could also be called sci-fi about half the time).  Yet this network, which spends a fortune [...]

Dear Potential Snuggie Owners, Hi.  Right now on my TV, Tony Kornheiser on Pardon The Interruption is wearing a Snuggie.  Given that he’s an 8,000 year old Jewish man, I figure he’s the Snuggie’s target audience.  The reader(s) of this blog probably aren’t, given that I don’t think any of you are Jewish mummies.  Anyway, [...]

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.
