A 70-minute video demonstration of why The Phantom Menace sucks

06.03.2010

Via /Film: Some guy named Mike from Milwaukee put together a 70-minute video review discussing the many reasons why the movie was horrible. And this isn’t your usual fanboy rant; this is an epic, well-edited, well-constructed piece of geek film criticism. Amen. RELATED: My 2005 review of Revenge of the Sith.

Why movies suck

04.30.2010

Moviegoing is among the modern human race’s most beloved social pastimes. From the first date to the girls’ night out to the brodown to the 7th wedding anniversary, the dinner-and-a-flick riff has become THEE go-to rallying point for any two or more people seeking a turnkey solution to get together for whatever reason. And I [...]

Yet another argument for the serial comma

04.06.2010

Sending in the second installment for my property taxes right now. The printed statement from the Los Angeles County Tax Collector includes the following instructions: 1. DETACH AND MAIL THIS STUB WITH YOUR 2ND INSTALLMENT PAYMENT. 2. DO NOT INCLUDE NOTES WITH YOUR PAYMENT. 3. DO NOT STAPLE, TAPE OR CLIP PAYMENT STUB OR CHECK. [...]

“In God We Trust”, “One nation under God”, etc.

11.12.2008

This has never been a political site, nor will it ever be. But there is something on my mind and heart, and I need to bleed it out here for permanent record. It’s also been a little while since I’ve done any analytical writing, and, well, I suppose I just need to jam.

Just say you’re being cheap. We’ll live with it.

04.10.2008

This just in from a JetBlue newsletter, notifying us of a slight change: Bring your own headset Effective June 1, free headsets will no longer be available on JetBlue flights. This benefits the environment by reducing unnecessary waste and it benefits your ears by providing the best sound and inflight entertainment experience. Kinda like the [...]

Greater Los Angeles

10.17.2007

Geoff Manaugh over at BLDGLBOG has thrown together an entertaining rant on why we love L.A. and couldn’t care less if you don’t.

Leave it to a drinker of Pabst Blue Ribbon

10.08.2007

Greeting us this morning at the bluff across from Angels Gate. Only somebody who would buy a case of watery domestic canned beer in the first place could do something so outlandishly assholesque. Dicks.

Why Do We Twitter?

09.25.2007

For those not yet familiar with Twitter, it’s the latest social networking and microblogging tool that enables you to publish 140-characters-or-less thoughts into the blogosphere via a Web connection, or remotely by way of a txt message from your cell phone. The advent of one-on-one txt messaging on cell phones has created a new habit [...]

Michael Vick Finds Jesus

08.28.2007

Upon being indefinitely suspended from the NFL for organized dogfighting and executing pit bulls, quarterback Michael Vick has apparently found Jesus. On the same day his plea became official. Now that fucking heathen bastard can go spread Christ’s love to all the horny guys in the joint. What a cop-out. This has got to be [...]

Some British Style Points

08.28.2007

The Oxford Guide to Style used in the UK prescribes commas and periods outside closing quotation marks, whereas American style is to always keep commas and periods inside closing quotation marks. Speaking of quotation marks, where Americans use double quotation marks, British style is to use single quotation marks. Here’s an example of British punctuation: [...]

George W. Bush and Nucular

10.14.2006

Let me first preface this by saying that I don’t consider myself a political person. In a nation split down the middle of people who blindly submit their loyalties to red or blue, I’d probably be somewhere in the area of a dark purple approaching black, or perhaps a pale lavender nearly faded to white, [...]

World Cup 2006

07.09.2006

I’ve never been a soccer fan, nor did I ever play it in an organized setting. Soccer was always played in the spring/summer months when I was a kid, which is when the rest of us were playing baseball. America’s pastime. I never knew a kid that played both sports. With the two seasons falling [...]

My Letter to 7UP

06.07.2006

If you haven’t heard, 7UP has changed its formula in a pathetic effort to attract impressionable consumers currently hooked on Sprite, Sierra Mist, and trendy natural drinks. While this may not be significant news to most, it is having a profoundly negative impact on people who drink it daily. Included in that sad group would [...]

Alliances and Alignments

06.05.2006

In this day of countless reality television shows consisting of elaborate social experiments where people band together to vote other contestants off an island, out of a mansion, and out of the game itself, it never ceases to amaze me how prevalent the incorrect use of the verb “align” has become when referring to an [...]

The Holy Grail (for ‘The Da Vinci Code’ Readers Only)

04.30.2006

Well, as expected, the buzz is starting. With Ron Howard’s “The Da Vinci Code” film scheduled to hit theaters May 19, many opposing groups are beginning to brace themselves in, as they call it, “preparation” for the film. This includes everything from composing answers to the inevitable questions that Dan Brown’s remarkable book presents to [...]
