There’s no such thing as a free vacation…
… or is there? Actually, the answer is no, there is no such thing as a free vacation – but you get the idea, right? It’s a joke. A joke about stuff being free is just barely ok, but when you pay for something, it makes you feel good.
Kinda like donating to [...]
It’s been awhile since we talked LOST.
SO first, I’d like to give props to Sophie:
I just can’t get enough of these mash-ups of current kick-ass shows with past either kick-ass or kitschy shows.
In other LOST news – Aaron is a big deal – just watch and Ben better not try to redeem himself. He’s the perfect villain, and I don’t want [...]
No such thing as a free lunch…
At least where Chicago Public Radio is concerned! CPR hired us to write/direct/shoot/produce/art direct/cast/envision/market/edit/set build and deliver these shorts showing people the failures of getting something for free…
Sure, we may have gotten Steve Delahoyde to do the shooting, editing, a tad of the directing and most of the art direction, but the rest of it [...]
It’s not too early to start thinking about the 2011 Oscars.
Here’s my first nomination:
Where do I go to vote?
[Thanks Joe!]
Our exclusive interview with Corey.
The blogosphere and news world is going to be blowing up with news about Corey Haim’s death. Fortunately, back in 2005 – Adam Witt had the exclusive opportunity to sit down for a real heart-to-heart with Corey. It was at times funny, at times touching, but most of all, real.
As to what [...]
I know it’s everywhere else… But it’s TRON!
Damn if this movie is not good. Seriously – Damn Disney and Marvel (who now owns Disney) if this movie is not good. The DUDE is in this. Scarecrow is in this. Daft Punk does the score/music for this! Even 13 from House is in this. It can’t be wrong.
My only question [...]
Jay-Z wrote the hook, but Social Media made it a hit…
Gotta admit – it doesn’t get much dorkier than this. I don’t know what’s worse – that I like this song better than the original, or that I actually know the references/faces shown up on screen (even without a corporate logo behind them).
Thanks to Jay-Z/Rhianna – you will find yourself humming “New Dork” for the [...]
Enlightening… And Frightening.
I suppose they could have just formed a big vial of poison, or a skull and crossbones… But I think you get the picture. Count ‘em up – how many Google services do you have and use that you KNOW about?
You don’t even want to know about all the stuff they know that you [...]
Mail sent to Topeka will be “Return to Sender” for month of March.
You may, or may not, have heard about Google going around, tantalizing people all over the US with super-fast free internet for some sort of testing. I tend to think they are attempting to dig a little further into everyone’s lives… As if Gmail, Docs and gCal aren’t enough – they also want direct [...]
If you like ‘Twilight’ you’ll like next week’s episode…
That’s why I love these guys. As was stated several times over last night – these guys better not eff up the ending of Lost. Seriously not. The rampage that would ensue could constitute a National Disaster and qualify for America to apply for Federal Funding and ask FEMA to step in.
And [...]
So, seriously Marvel? Jim as Captain America?
I don’t even know if this is 100% confirmed yet… But the mere hint of this is making my stomach churn. What was it Marvel? Was it his brilliant performance in “Leatherheads” that made you take a look at him? Oh, I know, maybe it’s the way he…. Well fuck. I [...]
Admiral Ackbar to get all plushy and jump on trampolines, make out with cheerleaders.
I never thought I would catch myself saying this, but, as reported by TMZ, Admiral Ackbar is inching his way towards becoming the mascot of Ole Miss.
Let me repeat that. Admiral Ackbar, the head squid in charge of the Rebel Alliance, is about to begin a new career after his military service as a [...]
Lost Deathwatch.
Ok all – here we are. It’s the last season, so all bets are off. Sure, they continue to bring back characters we thought are gone, or at least, there are characters that we thought were gone are going to be making an appearance at some point this season (Flashback, Flash-sideways, or coming [...]
Damn. I could go for some Gatorade Tiger Focus right about now…
After that apology, you think they’ll bring it back? I really hope se…
So Jewel-Osco is downsizing…
According to Tribune/ChicagoBreakingNews.com –
Tribune staff report | Jewel Osco, the Chicago area’s largest grocery chain, will shed 110 store management jobs in an effort to be more competitive.
Jewel has traditionally operated its stores with two managers, one for the Jewel food business, the other for the Osco pharmacy operation. Going forward, the company will [...]
This is why Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li sucks.
I’ve been ragging on Street Fighter for a week now. Here’s why.
What are you doing tonight?
Stop. Don’t even answer – because THIS is your answer:
Jam with The Jordan Years over @ Darkroom for Dre Day 2010. Celebrate Dre’s birthday in style with one of the hottest bands in Chi-Town.
Psalm One and The Jordan Years – it really won’t get much better.
You’re welcome.

Going through LOST withdrawal like me?
I know it’s only Thursday… but DAMN. That show has got me hooked. Like a diabetic on insulin. And for those of you jackasses who say, “SoutLAnd” is a better drama – I think the name in and of itself explains that that is impossible. [Get it? The show takes [...]
Is anything real anymore?!
Really makes me want to shoot more stuff with big green boards. Maybe I’ll just make a web series called, “Big Green Boards” – and I’ll write on there what would be there if I had enough money…
Seriously? They can’t just go to Washington DC, set up a couple cameras, and shoot a [...]
Did you SEE Lost last night?
This show is on FIRE. Sure, last week’s was kind of a bust. Apparently we all loved Juliet and needed to mourn her passing… to “V” – so we did. And, quite honestly, I love new-Kate vs. old-Kate. old-Kate is just so… angsty – and tries to motivate herself with issues [...]
