Travelling through Utah back in the day must have been the worst. If the elements didn't get you, the Mormons would. If, you know, you happened to be traveling through the sage and snakes of Southern Utah territory in an Arkansas wagon train named “Fancher”… Continue reading
As a legal and tax paying Utah resident, I put up with a lot of abuse. Rage-inducing driving, bitter cold winters and heaps of condescending “You live in Utah!?” mockery. But when January rolls around and the Sundance Film Festival turns Park City into a sea… Continue reading
The last few weeks, we've seen a lot of 300. The studio is churning things out so fast, it’s hard to keep up. One poster iteration after another after a new trailer after another poster after another trailer. I’ve worried about overkill in posting these, but… Continue reading
