Advertising, Ack!

Monday, July 7th, 2008

I don’t like to post up ads for people who make more in a day than I make in a lifetime but this advertising clip of Hellboy on The Actor’s Studio that they released as a mini ad made me laugh. The new movie may well be terrible, I liked the last one a ton [...]

Fan Service for Gleeful Gecko Fans

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Ok, I have a pretty narrow reader base. Some are Jeremy Clarkson haters, some fear dangerous animals, some are history buffs, some are theatrical types, and some are ravening followers of the old gods. It pleases me when I find a story that crosses boundaries and hits the mark for fans from different areas. So [...]

Speed Racer, It Is A Bomb But A Fun Bomb

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

It is a bomb, but I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the Speed Racer movie. I wasn’t a huge fan as a kid, I watched the show, but I would watch darn near anything back then.
What was interesting to me was how much I enjoyed the film in spite of [...]

Edible Warfare

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

I missed this when it passed around a month or so ago. Just stumbled across it and think it is brilliant.
An abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict.

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

At a birthday dinner for a friend last night I was told I was neglecting my duties here by not posting up some things I thought had already received wide internet play. Normally if things are turning up on a bunch of sites I skip posting it, but I was reminded that that are some [...]

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I liked the movie Gettysburg, despite problems like glue on beards and a semi-crazed Robert E. Lee it was a pretty good movie but it can’t hold a candle to the awesome Gettysburg movies linked below.

Another DRM Sucess Story!

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Google Video is demonstrating once more why DRM is such a wonderful idea. Did you ‘buy’ a video from Google recently? If so I hope you weren’t too attached to ‘your’ video. Sucker.

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Movie

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

Went to see Harry Potter And The Order of the Phoenix last night and enjoyed it. Best film so far for me. The acting was better across the board, all of the big three (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint) turn in good performances with fewer of the big reveal faces that feature heavily in [...]

Confession Of A Failed Otaku

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Ok, I have a nerd confession. I have never loved Transformers. Didn’t watch the cartoons, never had the dolls. That said the new Transformers movie is pretty good. Nobody is going to call it the thinking man’s science fiction film, but it is a very good summer movie with characters you don’t immediately loath and [...]
