We all enjoy New Girl, especially the parts where Zooey Deschanel (Jess) is adorable but also sexy. As a middle-of-the-week TV show, it’s a solid piece of work; Deschanel’s charm, mixed with the antics of Max Greenfield (Schmidt), Jake Johnson (Nick), and Lamorne Morris (Winston), […]
(10-25-13) It’s still a little early to call this mid-season for the four shows I’ve been tasked to rant about, but I’d say we’re on cruise control in terms of writing, acting, and big ol’ surprises. This week was pretty solid, but nothing so epic […]
(10-21-13) This week was a little shy of a doozy TV-wise. Nothing too crazy happened, but I’m a fan of the proceedings nonetheless. Remember folks, I’m currently covering Elementary, New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Four shows that have […]
Recently it was brought to my attention that 40% of my beloved Internet got booted in a crazy ban-bot related incident. For a whole few minutes, I believe, the Internet felt like a little kid getting beaten on like a nerdy freshman. And, according to […]
I have fond memories of sitting in front of the boob tube, a lifeless expression on my kid face. I’m sure that you, Internet, have had such a face, but now the vacant expression is one shared by not only TV watchers, but Internet surfers […]
Anyone who knows me well (or has just met me for that matter) knows that I’ve been under the knife just enough to make me awesome. When I was a wee baby I had a congenital heart thing called Tetralogy of Fallot. So I was […]
In a recent show of giving the press a field day, the chairman of Barilla (that company that makes halfway decent pasta products) said that he wasn’t a fan of gays and lesbians, and that the desired customer was the family with a mommy in […]
So I know art is still alive and breathing in this creatively bankrupt world, but the news about legendary animator (and story wizard) Hayao Miyazaki’s retirement makes it a little harder to believe that. The film The Wind Rises will be his final contribution to […]
Admit it, Internet, you guys like anime at least a little. I’m not saying you should watch all six thousand episodes of Naruto but, seriously, there’s some good stuff out there. One of the best being the recently released second season of The Legend of […]
It’s been eight seasons since we first heard Bob Saget (never credited for some reason) begin a seemingly infinite account of how he met his wife and the mother of who must now be the most bored and anxious teenagers in the history of sitting […]
Oh my god you guys the future is here and we are all going to die. This was and continues to be my reaction to Google’s new product, Google Glass. Although it’s not yet commercially available, folks have gotten to test the product, and videos […]
Here are this Week’s Top 10 Videos, at least as far as I’m concerned. If you don’t like them, hey, you’ve got your own computer, right? Thank God for this video. I was having a pretty shit day and this just perked me up. Four […]
Hey there folks! It’s that time again for my top ten YouTube videos! (Silence) Is this thing on? Ok, I’ll just get right to it. In no particular order… I adore Amy Sedaris. I think she’s one of the funniest ladies around and I wish […]
Ursula K. LeGuin wrote once that science fiction authors don’t actually predict the future, but use the genre to enlighten folks about messed up stuff in the present. A lot of sci-fi tends to be, “Hey you guys! We’re doing it wrong and oh yeah […]
My university was one of the forerunners in the growth of the campus game known as Humans versus Zombies. Goucher College started the event, but UMass Amherst really took it to crazy places, not only in terms of the mechanics and size of the zombie-themed […]
In 1984, cinema’s greatest nerds graced the silver screen in the iconic flick, Revenge of the Nerds. If any of this here readership recalls, the film is about a group of college nerds (and one lil’ middle school genius) facing substantial persecution from jocks and […]
Every Disney princess from your childhood had sex. And a lot of it. I know this may come as a shock, but it’s true, and I’d bet every famous lady from the Disney Renaissance (yes, that’s a thing, don’t pretend you didn’t have a childhood) […]
Although the art of dating is now a dying form, having been replaced by drunkenly grinding on someone until their clothes have magically disappeared and you’re both on your futon at 7am (my parents never did this to my knowledge), first dates do still occur. […]
You’re on some form of public transit, trying to entertain yourself. You’ve tried books, iPhones, iPads, your own thoughts, maybe even a crossword puzzle if you think you’re clever or something. But the experience is monotonous, not an adventure, super damn boring. So here’s some […]
Sometime last summer I was watching the Beauty and the Beast Disney cartoon with my young cousins. For one thing, I’d forgotten how brutal it was, and another thing, I’d totally missed how ridiculous the Beast looked when he turned into a human. He looked […]
