So I finally finished it. Yeah. It took that long. Infinite Jest is, not including the footnotes, 981 pages. With footnotes it is 1079. Now, I've read books that are almost as big in a couple of days. Stephen King's final volume of his amazing DARK TOWER… Continue reading
… I saw a dreadlocked guy of about twenty-five or thirty riding down a major Los Angeles thoroughfare, holding one hand up in the air, his middle finger extended in a defiant if not cliched gesture we're used to seeing in arguments and scuffles in our… Continue reading
SPOILER ALERT. It's late. I'm sitting on the couch, Sierra Nevada in one hand, other hand petting a cat named after my favorite journalist. The explosions and marvel comics-like fight have just ended. The horrified but now safe and through-the-storm mother… Continue reading
These guys were EVERYWHERE for a while about 8 years ago and today I just up and realized I haven't heard a fucking thing from them in years. This got me thinking, so I dialed up the old Goggle shop and went a' searching. Well, first, they shortened their… Continue reading
You know what is really starting to annoy me? Having to see the trailer for the movie push before EVERY movie I go to. Now, here's the thing. I fully understand that the price of getting to the theatre early enough to get the seat I want is having to sit… Continue reading
The other night I went to see My Bloody Valentine in 3D. If you had asked me what I was doing Friday night the day before this option would not have even entered into my mind. Honestly though, I'm glad I went. I had no intention of seeing this flick. I've… Continue reading

I really don't know what to think about Chris Cornell anymore. A couple days ago my wife downloaded his new single ‘Scream' – this is the first single off Cornell's new album, an album that is produced by modern superstar producer ‘Timbaland'.… Continue reading
Well, thank you sir, You have now successfully constructed two of the best movies of my lifetime, two films that I absolutely love and respect but alas, will most likely never be able to watch again. First it was REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. My god, by the end of… Continue reading
I'm a big fan of a lot of what used to be called Trip Hop. Massive Attack's MEZZANINE and Thievery Corporation's THE MIRROR CONSPIRACY are two of my all time favorite albums in the wine-swilling, love-making, opium den end of my tastes, and although there are… Continue reading
WARNING – I fully realize the following blog is self-indulgent and unbelievably nerd-like. However, when considering the fate of Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise, I get a little bit D&D. That being said, if you're going to be the guy that leaves… Continue reading
I used to love Tim Burton movies. Now… I just don't know. Okay, granted I still have not seen Sweeney Todd, so I can't comment on that. I do not believe it to be a bad movie or something I wouldn't like. I think that I will one day see it and on that… Continue reading
