Worth Listening To
Published by August 19th, 2008 in General Foolishness and Why Culture Sucks. 0 CommentsI really, really wanted to like this movie.
See, I’ve read Gerrold’s book, and it’s very good: Sweet, hurting, reminiscent, cute.
I knew, before seeing the film, that a major component had been compromised. I figured, okay, well, how bad could it be?
I forgot that major compromises and minor ones tend to interdigitate.
This movie just didn’t know […]
It just, just started tonight.
I just, just saw it.
Huey Vs. Uncle Ruckus, a broken broomstick against nunchaku.
All in the name of not stealing movies.
Available, now, on BitTorrent.
A brilliant season 2 opener. Mmm. Feel the intensity of that illegal download.
Irony is so good for the blood.

A few weeks back I blogged on the HPLHS version of Call of Cthulhu. It was sweet, in the way that only the insanely-tainted wine of dead aeons can be; but I neglected to mention that when I ordered CofC on DVD, I also ordered the HPLHS rendering, on CD and done as a radio […]
I Saw Something Awful on Tuesday.
Published by September 20th, 2007 in O, Pine With Me and Why Culture Sucks. 0 CommentsWell, I half-saw it; so maybe it was only half-awful.
As an English major I was painfully aware, sometimes, of how dreadful some stories could be. Directionless and pointless drivel which seemed of interest primarily for historical value, but certainly not for literary quality, was regularly heaved across my palate. I was subjected to the contrast […]
It’s been a while since I’ve written in this category, mostly because I haven’t really seen anything worth posting on lately and I don’t want the damned thing to turn into a monotonous whine about how movies were so much better in The Olden Days.
But you know, some of them really were.
I’m not talking about […]
Harry Potter: Saga Ended.
Published by July 28th, 2007 in You Must be F***ing Kidding, General Foolishness and Why Culture Sucks. 0 CommentsWherein we read my review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling.
Before we proceed: Spoilers. More than a few, because I have to discuss a few things, particularly the ways in which Rowlng somewhat pissed me off with this seventh novel.
I hate deliberate spoilers. I’ve written a few books myself and know […]
AI was not well received by critics in much the same way that a grenade is not welcome in a detachment. The attitude seemed to be run, run away from this before it explodes chaotically.
Well, that wasn’t how I saw it, and it had damn little to do with how cute Haley Joel was back […]
Oh. My. Non. God.
Published by April 11th, 2007 in Why Culture Sucks and One Thousand Words. 1 CommentParamount’s remastering Trek:TOS for HD, and they’ve remapped all the exterior FX shots using digital tech.
My first thought was travesty. But you simply must, must see this exterior from Space Seed (Khan, remember?). Here’s 1701 heaving to next to the Botany Bay.
If you thought that was good, you should see it in motion. I feel […]
Alfonso Cuarón can do no wrong.
Well, all right, he probably can and surely will — but in the meantime, I have to say his movies do not suck. First he got himself seriously noticed with the exploits of two good friends and a very wlling lady in Y tu Mamá También; after that he shifted […]
A Window to a Mind Like a Door: Open and Wholly-Hinged
Published by November 10th, 2006 in Why Culture Sucks. 2 CommentsIt’s not every day that one has the opportunity to get a sneak peek at an unauthorized autobiography, so when I was given the chance to do so a few weeks ago I decided to act.
I’m very glad I did.
Destined for Destiny, the tome in question, purports to have been written by none other than […]
Okay, okay, I confess to being a smart-ass.
Japan’s been on my mind lately, partly because of the way North Korea’s been jacking around, and partly because some really good films have been coming from overseas.
Toho, for instance, recently released a two-disc definitive DVD of Gojira (the 1954 all-Nipponese version) along with Godzilla, the 1956 redux […]
