Cleaning Up the Bookmarks
This evening I got bored and decided to clean out a bunch of bookmarks that have been sitting in Safari for far too long. I figure it’s as good a time as any to share some with you, the faithful and never wavering reader.
A little known fact about me is that I’m a very large [...]
Modern Musicals
Because I haven’t been feeling 100% lately I’ve been watching a lot of movies. Since Friday I’ve actually watched three: Once, Juno and Across the Universe. While I was watching Across the Universe this afternoon, I was thinking that both Once and Across the Universe are modern musicals. They’re both entertaining movies with a majority [...]
Juno Digital Copy is Blogtastic!
One of the things announced at MacWorld that excited me was Fox’s digital copy. Applications like Handbrake and Mac the Ripper have enabled people to copy DVDs to their hard drives for years. The argument for this process has always been fair use. However RIAA and the MPAA would beg to differ and have you [...]
Uwe Boll is an Idiot
Uwe Boll is the director of horrible wonderful pieces of celluloid such as House of the Dead, BloodRayne, BloodRayne II, Postal, the upcoming BloodRayne III, and FarCry. You might say Boll has the ability to take a decent video game and turn it into the worst movie you’ve ever seen. sHe’s also infamous for issuing [...]
Female Roles and the Male Gaze
Apparently people are starting to realize that most of the female roles out in Hollywood carry along some sort of stereotype or cliché. A website I’ve never heard of, Radar, compiled a list of this millennium’s most misogynistic (see women hating) films. Superbad took home last year’s top prize.
Like Whitney Houston, we believe the children [...]
Film Independent Spirit Awards
So the Oscars are tomorrow and people are all excited about that, but the Film Independent Spirit Awards are tonight (in fact I’m watching them right now) and they are by far the best awards show out there. They celebrate indie films, the ones that don’t always make money, but the ones that are always [...]
Maybe Jessica Simpson is Cursed
After last weeks Cowboys game, Jessica Simpson has been called everything from a curse to a jinx. Evidently she had a movie “open” this weekend and now she’s being called a bomb. I use the term open loosely because the movie went straight to DVD but did show in a few eight theaters in Texas [...]
You can’t take the sky from me…
Earth that was could no longer sustain our numbers, we were so many. We found a new solar system, dozens of planets and hundreds of moons. Each one terraformed, a process taking decades, to support human life, to be new Earths. The Central Planets formed the Alliance. Ruled by an interplanetary parliament, the Alliance was [...]
Star Wars turns 30
Star Wars turned 30 years old this weekend and a lot of people are celebrating. There are TV specials, stamps, and even mailboxes. Though someone with a lot of time decided to honor Star Wars in another way, with LEGOs. This may be the coolest thing you’ll see today.
Lots more pictures at the original site, [...]
Sweet, tasty, nerd art
Ok, so I didn’t like the Lord of the Rings as a trilogy (I’m of course talking about the movies because I have never picked up a 1000+ page book, let alone read it — well except for Die Bible, which is The Bible in German) but there were some parts that I did particularly [...]
