I wish they had a website with a list of all the properties Hollywood had licensed at any one time.  This website would also have an option clock that showed when the option ran out. Maybe even a running tally of how many times each property had been optioned.

Don't stop with season 9. There's plenty to like afterward, though I started watching with season 4 when it was on air (apparently my parents decided that I could go from no Simpsons at all to watching Martin [starring Martin Lawrence!], The Simpsons, and In Living Color when I hit 4th grade). I enjoy some of the new…

I'm re-experiencing the joy when we bought our first HDTV a few years ago. Hope you are enjoying the hell out of it.

I was obsessed with Rushmore and Tenenbaums, really liked Darjeeling, kinda liked Mr. Fox, and tolerated Life Aquatic. Anyone who knew me in college heard me talk about these movies repeatedly and they were rites of passage for any potential friend. I've changed quite a bit since graduating and I'm really curious to…

Despite Rockstar's usual themes, I found Max Payne's writing refreshing. Writing off the sarcasm completely negates the way it deals with money and power in the world, which, yes, is very similar to Red Dead Redemption, but pretty poignant, nonetheless (I never finished GTA IV, so I have no idea if it's similar…

I was around that age when I read Blankets. I found it moving, but it didn't hold much sway afterward. I attended Comic Con that year and bought the book anyway, so Thompson could sign it. He used a brush pen and the ink blends so well with the printed page, it looks like his drawing and signature are printed on the…
