The Crazies
I think by simply changing the name of the movie ‘The Crazies’ to ‘The Crazies and the Unnecessarily Fearful,’ it becomes a movie about the Tea Party.
Thanks Jeff Bridges (in which I make a drawing for each of his films)
The Fisher King, 1991 (dir. Terry Gilliam)
SYNOPSIS: Bridges plays yet another guy named Jack. He was a DJ until one of his fans got the crazy and shot up a restaurant made entirely out of smashing glass and screaming. Perry (Williams) was eating there with his wife but he doesn’t remember this (repressed memory of [...]
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.
Thanks Jeff Bridges (in which I make a drawing for each of his films)
The Men Who Stare at Goats, 2008 (dir. Grant Heslov)
SYNOPSIS: In honor of Jeff Bridges being nominated for a film I have yet to see, I offer a drawing of another film I have yet to see. From what I can gather from the trailer George Clooney plays someone in a Coen Brothers movie who [...]
I Thought This Was A Bit…
But, apparently, they REALLY are making a sequel to “Wall Street” – is that really necessary?
REALLY?
Shia? I know you’re pissed that you are now Sam Witwicky, and people said the CG robots out-acted you… But c’mon.
And Michael Douglas. You should be ASHAMED of yourself. Simply ASHAMED. And you look old. [...]
I don’t buy the iPad until I’m certain I can use it to thwart terrorists should I find myself in an enclosed environment with them.

For Your Information
I can be theatrical, and maybe even a little rough – but one thing I am not, is a killer. I am an artist.
Avatar Kills!
Not only in box office revenue, but also the population. In scanning though headlines today, Avatar – the biggest movie in the history of movies ever not to be outdone until the next James Cameron movie – has been identified as a cause of death.
Killed him dead. Apparently, a 42-year-old Taiwanese man (who, [...]

The Big Lebowski, 1998 (dir. Joel & Ethan Coen)
Synopsis: Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski (Bridges) is mistaken for Jeffrey “The Big” Lebowski and the resulting soiled rug (literally the thread that holds the whole plot together) leads us into a shaggy dog story about empty threats and impotence set during the weeks leading up to Operation [...]
Count the References!
Anyone still watch SNL? I’m not really a fan myself anymore – but that’s mostly because I go out and PAR-TAY on Saturday nights, and my DVR is full of cool shit that I still have to watch.
The internets blew up over the weekend with SNL getting a bit of street cred with an appearance [...]
How to murder a Gremlin (As seen in Gremlins)
After you have exposed your cuddly Mogwai to bright light, doused it in water and fed it leftover fried chicken after midnight, you will find yourself faced with a rapidly-multiplying, rat-faced, morally-broke creature with a high tolerance for alcohol.
Here is how you exterminate the bastards, as seen in the 1984 holiday classic/horror film/instructional manual by [...]
Hey Vatican: this post is your Avatar
I’m sure you’ve seen this by now but The Vatican released their own review and opinion of my new favorite movie Avatar. Far be it from me to get into a public debate in front of our readership with an institution so widely-respected and forward-thinking as the Vatican about a movie starring fake blue people. [...]

The Last Picture Show, 1971 (dir. Peter Bogdonavich)
SYNOPSIS: Bridges plays Duane JACKson. His best friend is Sonny (Timothy Bottoms) and his girlfriend is Jacy (Cybill Shepard). If you went to high school in a small Texas town between WWII and the Korean conflict, this movie is basically your life. They are all graduating from high [...]
2-Second Movie Review: “Avatar”
I’ve been excited to see “Avatar” for a few months now and I’m happy to report that I, unsurprisingly, loved it. I just plain loved this movie. By now we all know what the movie’s about so I won’t bore you with the details. What I will say is that whatever the [...]

The Fabulous Baker Boys, 1989 (dir. Steve “Muggle” Kloves)
SYNOPSIS: Jeff Bridges plays another guy named Jack and Beau Bridges plays his brother but instead of sharing an awesome dad like in real life, they play music. I didn’t remember a whole lot about this film at first and then I went to IMDB where John [...]
Greatest Thing Ever Of The Day
Five years ago Steve Delahoyde introduced me to The Room, making him incredibly hip and way ahead of the curve. When I moved to L.A. I went to see it at Midnight in a packed theatre feeling I was way behind the curve. Now the movie is shown in four theatres and you have to [...]
Thanks Jeff Bridges (in which I make a drawing for each of his films)
Jagged Edge, 1985 (dir. Richard “It’s a trap!“Marquand)
SYNOPSIS: Jeff Bridges (still in wax-face/Starman mode)probably murdered his wife. But Glenn Close defends him because she thinks with her vagina. At least that’s what Robert Loggia says. This just goes to show that a typewriter with an offset letter introduced in the first act will be found [...]
My Childhood is Our Future: Adidas Star Wars Collection
George Lucas has successfully spent 2009 not ruining the Star Wars universe.
In order to celebrate/correct this, Adidas is going to offer a line of Star Wars shoes next spring.
