Good Morning.

It’s gone, MacReady!

I can’t remember if I posted this or not, but I thank Connor for sending the link a couple of months ago, I’ve watched this video numerous times and it’s nestled in my top 5 of all time. Right up there with “Hysteria” and “Invisible Touch.” Huge kudos to Zombie Zombie for executing [...]

NO BIG DEAL: Rush live DVD out tomorrow!

NO BIG DEAL: Rush live DVD out tomorrow!

Whatever, no big deal. Rush’s new 3-disc DVD of their recent “Snakes and Arrows” tour comes out Tuesday and is sure to kick ass. I can’t wait. It’s got a ton of favorites, including “Entre Nous,” Matt Hanner’s favorite Rush song. It’s got “Red Barchetta,” my brother’s favorite song. It’s [...]


Tuesday 24 Wrap-Up: On Monday!

Tuesday 24 Wrap-Up: On Monday!

OMG! Jack is back, and he brought a female president, squirrely-dude from Ally McBeal, Powers’ Boothe swan song, loads of red-tape BS, Jon Voight as some industrialist, Begbie, Candyman as an evil General, and commercials for Wicked.
I’m not even going to attempt my fanboy love for this show. The second I heard the [...]

Black Dynamite!!! – NSFWMFers

How brilliant is this? An old trailer? Nope, this movie is coming soon and as someone who got to meet Dolemite before he died I’m quite excited. I love the random appearance by Captain Kangaroo!


Get Your Jive On TONIGHT!

20th Anniversary of the Gallery Cabaret!

20th Anniversary of the Gallery Cabaret!

Hey, the Gallery Cabaret (our home away from home) is having a big party to celebrate their 20th anniversary tomorrow night. 8pm – close. When asked about the party, Mike (Kenny’s son, owner) said “Oh yeah, there’s gonna be lasagna. Pork and veggie. And a salad. And cake from Deerfields. You ever been to Deerfields? [...]


Late to the Game…

But man, this is the best unintentional sketch in the history of unintentional sketches. I bring you (after everyone else already has)…Sarah Palin and the Turkey-killers. Just watch the guy in the background. The award goes to him.


Eddie and Jobo: Shitcanned?

Eddie and Jobo: Shitcanned?

Rumor out of the office-place is that Eddie and Jobo were canned today. I think it was ratings that did them in, not making Joan Esposito/Horace Grant backseat jokes (early 90’s reference anyone?). I for one will miss the opportunity to listen to two guys trying really hard to act like they aren’t 50 to [...]


Chicago Love.

Something for a lazy Friday. This is from a few weeks back. Dad and Miles chillin…

Yuppie Rap!

Check-out this find. Schadenfriend Bill O’Neil — director of our Smithe Emmy short film — did this short called Yuppie Rap back in the day. Bill is the guy pulling back flips and rolling in the Saab. Or maybe it’s an Audi. Either way, wait for the ending — very reminiscent [...]


There’s a strong streak of good in you, Schadenfreude.net Reader, but nobody’s perfect. Well, almost nobody.

Netflix Instant needs to F***k off

Netflix Instant needs to F***k off

After Justin’s comment on my last statement that the Watchmen Trailer needs to F***k off, I watched it objectively, distancing myself from the comic, and I can’t tell what that movies about or if it even looks interesting. It still needs to go F***k off, I just realize I’m showing incredible bias by saying so.
So [...]

And we’ve certainly shared our boxes of wine, haven’t we Danny

And we've certainly shared our boxes of wine, haven't we Danny

I don’t know if it’s a function of the economy, simple shopping or the next new thing but we have that wine cube from Target, and it’s basically a “fancier” box of wine but this time the box is a cube.  The wine’s basically the same as bottled wine, I’m not a wine guy and [...]

This Sunday, 24 is back.

This Sunday, 24 is back.

That’s right. This Sunday, Nov. 23rd marks the return of 24 with “Redemption,” a 2-hour movie preview for Season 7 filling in some gaps after Season 6. I can’t wait. Earlier this year, I realized around April that, for the first time in years, my weekly calendar wasn’t dominated by a single [...]
