It’s 17 degress and snowing in the Bronx right now — but it could be worse: Bismarck hit 44 below this morning. It’s even down into the 40s (above zero, that is) in Florida and Southern California. The first person who says, “So what happened to global warming?” gets to wear the Dunce Cap of … more…
Hard to believe this didn’t happen sooner: cell phone cameras capture the shooting by police officer Johannes Mehserle of unarmed Oscar Grant on a BART transit platform in Oakland, California, early New Year’s morning: Hard to believe we haven’t seen video evidence of an event like this before, that is, not that events like this … more…
Another shocking lack of new Pushing Daisies. Hel-loooo? ABC? Are you out there? Are you ever going to put us out of our misery and give us the final three episodes? Bastards.
Geez, step away from the computer for five minutes (or five hours)… So I clicked over to the IMDB to check out some stuff and I see the headline: Actor Ricardo Montalban Dies at 88 And then the other headline: Patrick McGoohan Dead At 80 And I’m all, Oh, crap. I’m a geek. And I’m … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… A little late today, but hey, it’s still time to take a break from work on the West Coast… Ooo, a pastiche of 1950s science fiction! Excellent! And tricky, too. It has to have just the right tone to work. If it’s not bad enough — … more…

Times who probably isn’t even a real blonde like Gwyneth said — about “inner superficiality.” (She’s just jealous.) It’s called … more…
He’s saved the Empire who knows how many times, but what kind of collateral damage has he left in his wake? James Bond: ethical patriot or international man of menace? Discuss. I think it’s kind of sweet, all that saving of the Empire, considering that the Empire went the way of the Model-T, but I’m … more…
Another new feature I thought you might like. I receive more DVDs in the mail than I can possibly ever review, but this way I can at least let know about some new things that are out there that you might be interested in. This are all Region 1, though I’ll note if they’re available … more…
How does an exit interview with a porcupine go, do you think? There’s the factor here, with this video, of a PSA being posted online, with the explicit hope that it will go viral and help the cause. That’s worth noting, and we’re sure to see even more of this in the future. And then … more…
The pace of commenting has picked up here so much lately that new comments are often scrolling out of that “recent comments” box on the main page in less than a day. I don’t want to make the box any bigger than it is, so instead I created a new page — right here and … more…
