Because 01/18/08 can’t come soon enough…Tonight’s bachelor movie was straight out of Korea. It’s a mutant monster movie by the name of The Host.It started off promising - with a really fun attack scene on the banks of the Han River in Seoul. Plenty of mayhem and crowd panic scenes. Obviously most [...]

I’ve managed to catch up on quite a bit of to-do’s while the wife and son were out of town. Netflix is probably scratching their collective skulls at the amount of movies I’ve returned. I had three of them for over a year and suddenly I’ve not only returned three of them, but [...]

One of the things I’ve been able to do while the wife and son are away (see porkbuns.org as to why they’re not here) is catch up on some movies that I’ve been meaning to see.
My daughter warned me that Pan’s Labyrinth is one of her favorite new movies. I finally got to soak [...]

Halloween is one of those holidays that inspires dog owners everywhere to engage in animal cruelty for the benefit of sick bastards like myself who get a big kick out of it. My mother, who is largely responsible for this twisted sense of humor, forwarded a memo to my inbox yesterday. Some of [...]

Ex-’Grey’s’ actor Washington, NBC in talks - CNN.com
Our country’s newest primadonna is the black gentleman who gained fame and furor by badmouthing gay showmate T.K. Knight.
This article reads as though he’s sitting around, fielding tons of offers… and hey, ya know, he’s just SOOO good that he “gets his pick” of anything he wants. Cough.

Yesterday, Kiddo and I got out to soak up Pirates 3. It was enjoyable, but it suffered from the same thing that plagued the second of the series. The writers allowed themselves to get bogged down by the apathetic nature of each individual player. By now, there are a lot of players [...]
