Hypocrisy At It’s Finest

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

For the guy’s who sided with the RIAA and champion free markets, Republicans sure don’t like to pay for music.  Maybe they think free market means they can take what they want for free.  I’m not sure.
And in case you think this is an anomaly or isolated case, it’s not.

Goodbye, Paul

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Paul Newman passed away Friday.  I make no bones in my proclamation that Cool Hand Luke is the finest bit of cinema ever produced.  That’s not my opinion, that’s pure fact.  It’s a fact like the sun comes up in the East, like the Earth is round, and like Jesus loved everything, especially the dinosaurs.

Speechless

I honestly don’t know what to say about this.

I Am Legend Was Lame

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

I watched I Am Legend with my lovely wife the other night.  LAME.  It had the feel of a much longer and much better movie that got edited into goofiness.  I think to have done it well it would have had to have been a trilogy.  I guess Will Smith doesn’t do trilogies.
The internal inconsistencies [...]

FOX Gets Stupider Every Day

Friday, February 29th, 2008

I’ve always hated the Faux News Network. Bill O’Reilly makes my skin crawl and John Gibson is just some weird albino dude with paranoid fantasies of Rambo Claus needing to fight his way through Christmas.
But this takes the cake.
Not only is the whole thing hogwash, (C’mon a drone aircraft with GPS for $500? Sure [...]

Fantasy Is Teh Ghey

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

You know why the Fantasy genre of literature is so drama queen ghey?  It’s because they are always putting apostrophes in characters names.
Why?
Is it so much freakin’ better to name a character Ina’leri than Inaleri?  Nobody knows how to pronounce these stupid names anyways, why bother with the apostrophe?
I read an online comic called Looking [...]

Best New Artist

Monday, September 10th, 2007

One of my favorite groups, Gym Class Heroes, won a VMA for Best New Artist (scroll down). It seems a little odd for them to be getting an award that has the word new in it since I first talked about them 3 1/2 years ago and they weren’t new then.
Congratulations! Now that [...]

St Simon’s Island

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

We thoroughly enjoyed out trip to St Simon’s Island last weekend. It’s not a bad ride, though a tad long at a little over three hours. The atmosphere and amenities of the island itself were great. I look forward to going back sometime soon.
We arrived at noonish on Friday and checked in [...]

300

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Good movie, in a beautifully badass sort of way.  The visuals are absolutely stunning.  The fights are magnificent bits of violent ballet.  The evil things are either hideous to the point of making you want to avert your eyes or beautiful to the point of not being able to.
The story, well, the story is pretty [...]

Daddy’s Little Girls

Monday, February 19th, 2007

My lovely wife and I went out this weekend on a little date.  During said date, we went to the movies and saw Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls.
I have to admit having a few reservations about going to see a Tyler Perry movie.  If you don’t recognize the name, he is the cat with the [...]
