I haven’t a lot to say about Predators except that on the whole, I enjoyed it. I think it was smart to go back to basics, as it were, and this film is as straightforward as it gets following some overly complicated entries in the series. Of course, it’s difficult to go too wrong with [...]

Regardless of what you thought of Inception (here’s my review of the film if you want to know what I thought), this South Park clip is still amusing. Insheeption Tags: SOUTH PARKStan Marsh,Mr. Mackey,more… Though here’s the bizarre thing: apparently, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have never even seen Inception, and they constructed this scene [...]

Splice (2010) I wouldn’t be surprised if Splice flew right under your radar. I’m too lazy to check the box office, but I doubt anybody saw it. And really, you haven’t missed much.

I may as well weigh in, since everybody else in the world has. I’m not a hater; in my teens, I watched Late Night with Conan O’Brien and enjoyed it. But if I’m watching anything at 11:00, it’s The Daily Show. Late night talk shows seem kind of like some television relic to me. I [...]

This is my new favorite website: AntiDuckface. I’ve been wondering about duck faces for years. The most common duck face (in my experience) is the one seen through a grainy webcam image, and it used to be (maybe still is) pretty much a requirement for any girl under, say…age 22, to have some shitty photo [...]

After sitting through an entire voting season of advertisements for Sharron Angle that literally demonized all illegal immigrants in an attempt to smear Harry Reid as soft (“an illegal immigrant’s best friend”) on these devious Mexicans who are ostensibly attempting to undermine our country one border crossing at a time (by the way, Nevada doesn’t [...]

Just so that nobody thinks I’m dead… My life last week consisted primarily of me playing Civilization V. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to take paternity leave to care for my new daughter (sadly, today was my first day back at work), but she doesn’t do a whole lot right now except eat, [...]
