Coming back from our Bruce Willis Adventure in 1997 our flex capacitor* went haywire and UMPHH! Takashi and I crash-landed in 1983. Not just any 1983 though. An appropriate Hollywood lead in might sound a little something like this: "In a world where crime… Continue reading
A couple weeks ago I came home from work and found a package addressed to me on the doorstep. No return address. It was from a DVD discount vendor. I figured it was something my wife ordered. When I opened it I found Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, a… Continue reading
One day last week I came home from work and found a package waiting for me. It had my name on it and no return address. Opening it I found a DVD, something starring Bruce Willis that I had never heard of before called Last Man Standing. I figured my wife must… Continue reading
I have put off Mother of Tears for well over a year, partially because my video store didn't have it and partially because everyone trashed it so much I sure as hell wasn't going to risk buying it for $20. I mean, I was actually kind of afraid to watch the… Continue reading
I generally like Michael Mann's movies. I grew up with Miami Vice and although I was much younger and easier to impress back then I remember it, for the most part, fondly. As the years went on I remember the show became weirder – like pre-X-Files weirder –… Continue reading
Today it is nice and windy in Southern Los Angeles as I write this. It's afternoon – I got to wake up late, as it is my day off. This was good. I read for a bit in bed. I'm reading Ray Bradbury's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES and it is awesome. After a time… Continue reading

This blog was originally going to be about DC Comic's FINAL CRISIS, which I just finished reading in it's shiny new Hardcover format. However after I finished reading it I immediately felt like I had to A) read it again, and B) go online and research a lot of… Continue reading
Just finished CRIME, the latest by Welsh. I was initially a little bit afraid to read this one, which is why I waited the very long 8 months or so for it to transition from Hardcover to QP. Welsh never pulls any punches and I think the review I read of the… Continue reading
(Mild Spoilers below folks) Wow. After finally seeing Drag Me to Hell last week all I can say is Wow. Wait, that's not exactly true. As I recall as the movie advanced from about the forty minute point an insatiable desire to stand up and scream FUCK YEAH!!!… Continue reading
Holy smokes. The new album by Los Angeles group SILVERSUN PICKUPS, appropriately titled SWOON is fan-fucking-tastic. There's been a lot of good music coming out recently but this, well, Swoon was the first thing to dislodge the Grand Duchy album from my cd… Continue reading
Long enough title? I was originally going to go with ‘when the pawn hits the conflict…' but you know, that was taken. Anyway, recently while reading Comic Shop News I saw a blurb about abc's (former) show PUSHING DAISIES being picked up by DC as a… Continue reading
