The Good Brother chronicles
The family visited, and I took my sister to the house they shot the ending to Halloween at. If how happy she is to be at the house they shot Halloween at doesn’t tell you enough about her, then consider her taste in stars to photograph on the Walk Of Fame – Stan Winston, William [...]
Coyote Ugly! 1 Night Only!
So, The Neo-Futurists are at it again with their Summer staged reading series of some of the worst movies ever made: It Came From The Neo-Futurarium. Tomorrow night (Thursday 7/31) is the final night in the series and they are going out with a big-boobed bang! COYOTE UGLY is on the menu and I am [...]
Uptown Theatre Presents…
So Jam Productions bought the Uptown Theatre. You know Jam Productions feverishly googles itself, so let’s give them some suggestions for who should be part of the first music show at the Uptown after they renovate. I say they get PIL, Live, and Mazzy Starr. Or maybe a line-up of Ocean Colour Scene, Catherine Wheel [...]
Lake Michigan Beaches are Unsafe? WHHHAHHHAHAA?
The Beaches along Lake Michigan in this area are bad: Um, no shit. Use common sense here. Wouldn’t the beaches that share the shoreline with SUPER BIG TOXIC POLLUTING refineries have shitty beaches? Am I the only one that knows that the Chicago beaches and Lake Michigan in general is pretty skanky? That’s what happens [...]
Quick, while you can watch it.
The trailer for Wolverine from the San Diego comicon. Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Last Chance Saloon for FUN!
I know you missed it. I know most of you have no idea what I’m talking about when I mention “Dr. Horrible.” Much less, “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.” Joss Whedon – the guy behind Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Serenity – and a whole lot of other sci-fi/fantasy pop-culture defining moments came up with [...]
Earthquake! Quick, try to blow yourself.
That was kind of fun, the whole house just boogied back and forth for about ten seconds, like trying to keep on the snowboard on that snowboard video game at Dave & Busters. Remember in grade school when they’d do the earthquake drill for that inevitable earthquake that was going to hit Lewisburg, Oh? I [...]
Perfect.
Finally saw The Dark Knight this weekend on Saturday with Stephe at a sold-out theater, AMC downtown, on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. I’ve been trying to remember the last time I’ve heard of a movie resonating so much with such a wide audience base. I’m not sure. Fellowship of the Ring, maybe? [...]
Follow Up Question.
Ok gang. We’ve gotten some insight about what people thought the Best Movie of the Summer of ‘08 was. Now it’s time for the flipside. Lots of bad movies came out this summer. Personally, I haven’t seen all of these [Fred - that's for you] – but if you want to [...]
Friday Afternoon Gametime Fun.
This is as awesome as you think it is. Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates. With Lightsabers. And special attacks and finishing moves. And bad voiceover work. Once and for all, all you Windows-lovers (Witt, I’m looking at you) and all us Apple Fanboys (I’m looking in a mirror right now) [...]
Mortal Kombat: Dayton vs. Peoria – FIGHT!
Something interesting happened in Dayton! My Dayton-area family’s in town right now and they’re watching nothing but Dayton news in L.A. Check out the Peoria pitcher, he comes out and throws a ball at the opposition dugout, that move makes this the most justified bench clearer I’ve ever seen. If you don’t clear the bench, [...]
Think Green!
When you convert from a standard bucket mop to a swiffer with a plastic bottle and disposeable cloths. Be sure to recycle that plastic bottle.
Band Breakdown Friday!
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen – this is not your typical music video Friday… OH NO. This is where we get to see the glorious members of KISS completely break character and threaten to shove a laser pointer up an audience member’s ass. The BEST part of this video – is not the threatening or the [...]
Quick Poll – Favorite Movie of the Summer?
Ok – so the summer’s almost over. Batman: TDK seems to be the runaway winner (KJ – looking good on the brackets) however – a more important question is brought sharply into focus:
Dollars don’t always equal a better movie. Which movie this summer was the best? So go ahead and vote – [...]
One of the Best Shows You’re Not Watching.
I’m hard up for TV, and these are the doldrum months when you start to take chances. I’ll admit – Adam brought it to my attention first – and I shot him down. I’m the screw-up. Saw a couple episodes of the first season, and couldn’t find the groove. Yet, for [...]
So that’s “30 Days”
You guys see Morgan Spurlock’s “30 Days” yet? It was a short-lived series from FX that had 6 episodes each. Over the past 2 weeks, we’ve burned through all 12, and each one is absolutely fascinating. Basic jist is that Morgan Spurlock, the guy from “Super Size Me,” spends 30 days in someone else’s existence. [...]
