Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Is this the wrongest use of 3D ever? It might be. Not that I totally can’t wait to get that one guy’s elbow in my face. Cuz that’s gonna be cool. I love how the trailer tells us that this is from director Jon M. Chu, like … more…
I’d like it noted that the exclamation point and the stuff about Carney being an Oscar winner are included in the official title at Amazon. I didn’t add that. Though I might have if I thought it was funnier that way. Which it is. So what’s it all about? It’s “the true story of Harry … more…

We talked a lot about fan fiction and about, as Liz terms it, “finding a balance between ones’ interests and … more…
Today, 6:15 Eastern time, 4:15 Central, I’ll be on Afternoon News with Cory Kolt on News Talk 980 CJME. We’re gonna be talking about Conan O’Brien — guess my post earlier about what O’Brien should do next popped up on someone’s Google Alert. I have no idea how many readers I have in Saskatchewan. Not … more…
