Texas' favorite fast food place. They're all over the place here and they extend eastward to Jacksonville (but only across northern Florida), up to Oklahoma, and west to Arizona. People on my Facebook made a huge goddamn deal when U2 played Houston a few months back and were photographed at a Whataburger later that…

I saw them at a festival in Houston a few years ago and was wholly entertained.

I'm from the Detroit area and Moxy Fruvous, Sloan, and Barenaked Ladies were always able to draw crowds in the 90's. I got to see Fruvous a few times, the last one at Fru-Con in Toronto in February of '01. It always made me kind of sad that Jian was so successful as a radio host because it kept the band from getting…

I've seen moe. maybe a half dozen times over the years. They always put on a good show and their studio albums are a significant step above most jam bands (Tin Cans and Car Tires and Wormwood are in my top 5 for the years they came out). My only problem with them is that their old school "classic" jam songs from early…

They Might Be Giants were the second rock show I ever attended (after seeing Motley Crue on the Dr. Feelgood tour while in junior high), way back in '92, on their first tour with a full band. I've seen them at least 10 more times since then, with the last being in 2016 for a Flood performance.

The Grudge is excellent material for a reboot since it's essentially just a premise with no plot. Even in the Japanese originals.

I'm sort of happy for Rozansky. He's been agonizing about tradition versus economics for the better part of a decade now and I'm glad he's finally been able to make that decision to just not attend. His dilemma was sort of the core of the Morgan Spurlock film and comics fans on the internet could read his post-Comic…

Yeah. They always brought a massive supply of graphic novels and trades but I pretty much always waited until Sunday in the hopes that they'd drop their prices to something where it felt like you were getting a deal. Paying cover price for books (especially ones that didn't have the incentive of getting signed by a…

I haven't been since 2012, but I went 9 out of 10 years between '03-'12 and saw it go from big to unmanageably huge and I still had a great time every year.

District B13 is so much fun!

Boy, did I hate the shaky cam in Quantum of Solace. It was bad in a lot of post-Bourne movies, but it was so damn noticeable in a James Bond flick with Marc Forster, a non-action director, in charge of things.

So this means Daniel Dae Kim has lived in Hawaii for 13 years. That's a nice run of Honolulu-based acting gigs.

I actually agree with you, but my wife suggested it and my mom liked it. Go figure.

Glad I just took a trip to Disney World earlier this month and saw the current version with my kids. Even got my mom a "We wants the Redhead!" t-shirt because she's a redhead.

Secret of Mana is a pretty great substitute for Chrono Trigger. It's not quite as epic in story, but the gameplay is top-notch.

I finished Ghosts and Goblins. It took a hell of a lot of hard work to essentially memorize the pattern of every enemy in the game. And then once you "beat" the game, you had to run through the whole thing a second time to get to the real last boss.

Man, this line of bullshit from Nintendo dates all the way back to the massive problems they had with getting copies of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on the shelves in time for Christmas.

I'm up for the Daniel and Strand road-tripping across Mexico and the southwestern U.S. fighting zombies show. Yes indeed.

I'm curious to find out where Ofelia is. I don't think she will warrant a whole episode to herself. Especially since she got captured by racist white guy in her last appearance. But anything that gets us away from Madison, Alicia, and Nick is worthwhile for me. Although without Travis there worrying about Chris the…

10 years ago the answer to that last question would all be, "Because we are a show on American television and American audiences will change the channel rather than read subtitles." Peak tv has changed the conventional wisdom that drives production decisions like that.
