Normally, the sighting of a celebrity is a non-event for me. They are just people, after all, so what do I care, really? And besides, I've never met anyone truly impressive. Though getting to shake Gene Hackman's hand and tell him I loved him in Get Shorty… Continue reading
Ok, not really his day, persay, but I've been toying with the idea of writing a blog about the idea of Tarantino-ing someone's career. And who I would choose to do that to, should I be granted the funds to do so. And when I read that bit about his Inglorious… Continue reading
So internet connections have been problematic here. As you could have guessed from my magical two week absence. And it bugs me. The things I've missed out on since not having television access are staggering. Even worse was the lack of internet. A few things… Continue reading
The Loom of Fate wants to know, "What the fuck have you done lately?" In which my response is, "When did Morgan Freeman become Samuel L. Jackson? And why are you insulting me?" So I saw Wanted. And not only does James McAvoy insult the audience by dumping a… Continue reading
Yes, we went to the drive-in last night. Couldn't pass it up, really, as it was a double feature of Get Smart and Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, two films I've yet to see but had a vague interest in doing so. The two were sort of perfect films… Continue reading
So I'm here now. After a long, long, long drive with a German Shepherd and a surprisingly talented navigator (considering her sex) by my side, we arrived. And then we had no internet. For days. And then a week. And then it seemed like a lifetime since I'd had… Continue reading
If you live in Chandler, Oklahoma, I hate you. I hate your mom. Your dad. Your brother. Your whore of a sister. And your pets. Fuck your pets. This is about our cross country trip, so if you're looking for snarky movie chat, look elsewhere. I might dip a… Continue reading
This isn't so much a blog as it is a HOLY FUCK moment for me. And an attempt to get more people listening to greatness. I was browsing the iTunes store a few minutes ago and noticed that the new Holy Steady album, Stay Positive, is available early online (the… Continue reading
As I prepare to say goodbye to New Mexico, a land I've spent many a year living (some would say trapped) in, I feel an odd lack of nostalgia or even a twinge of sadness for the dry desert air. It's been a goal of mine to leave this place by the time I was… Continue reading
A quick one today, mostly because I'm getting ready to move across the country on Thursday and the ball-dripping heat here has me lethargic. Paul Newman may have cancer, Patrick Swayze does have cancer (not today's news, obviously) and Martin Bashir has a… Continue reading
So last night over several Hamm's beers, a bottle of champagne and some mean paella at the house, a group of us got to discussing Son of Rambow (an amazing little film), which led me to admit that I cried quite a bit toward the end of the film. Which then led… Continue reading
Rarely do I ever ponder the idea of Adam Sandler. There was a time when this statement was miles from the truth. When I was a young, impressionable lad, my babysitter played me his tape (yes, cassette tape) of They're All Gonna Laugh At You and I was hooked.… Continue reading
