I think your feeling is an ill-founded one. Just because he took a tiny book and turned into three movies doesn't mean that he's going to take three movies and turn them into holograph-filled roller coasters. While you could certainly read Jackson's gigantisizing of 'The Hobbit' as Jackson's ego gone crazy, I really…

That principle does not apply to heroin, kiddies.

Why didn't this get Big Red No treatment? Without the Big Red No, I read all snark in post as tacit approval.

I had heard decent things about 'World War Z,' but I was underwhelmed. Zombies are so impersonal (there was a fucking TOWER of them trying to get over a wall) that the non-zombie characters need to be engaging and interesting. There was nothing engaging or interesting about Brad Pitt's character. Very few zombie…

Yeah, too many, but I just watch the ones that get good reviews and pretend that all of the others don't exist. The Avengers sequel is really going to test my patience, though, because I'll be subjected to months of overhype and will eventually tire of telling people (the Internet?) that the first was an enjoyable…

I really don't need character development for the stupid, annoying mutants, though. Giving it all to Xavier/Magneto was the correct move. If they had tried to "develop" the character of say, that annoying kid who screamed which magically made him fly, or that other annoying kid who shot red light out of his abdomen,…

I'm sure I will get to most of these books by 2015. I'm still reading things from two years ago. Unlike movies and music, which I am pretty current with, I always tend to be a year or two behind on books just because there are such an abundance of them and reading takes time and I often get sidetracked reading books…

I wish I could fast-forward three years, to the point when Buzzfeed is no longer a thing. I don't need a list of moving gifs to tell me what it's like to be nearing the age of 30 or why the 90's were AWESOME. They weren't. The 90's were an awful decade.

Well, it all depends on your definition of "great singer." It's such an abstract thing. I consider Dylan to be a great singer because he is able to hit whatever emotional tone he needs to for a given song. Other singers might be technically better, but when it comes to tone, mood or whatever you want to call it,…

I go the opposite route. If I'm going to buy cheap frozen pizza, I'm not going to waste actual food to make it taste marginally better. Instead, I'll douse it with hot sauce and dip it in ranch and then it won't even be food anymore.

The next time Totino's Party Pizza is actually served at a party will be the first. That is sad solo human food at its best/worst.

Indiana Jones V: So Very, Very Tired

Zack Snyder is way ahead of you.

I'm still trying to figure out how Duck Dynasty became a thing for humanity.

As has been mentioned by others, Gladiator with a volcano. I've always been a fan of the absurdity of 'Dante's Peak.' The two kids in that movie might reach the peak (pun) of Kids Doing Stupid Things in Dangerous Situations. Hey look, that mountain is spewing burning hot ash and rock. I know what we should do: …

Not if they get to the harbor. Or so somebody yelled.

My two favorite albums of the year were 'Yeezus' and 'Trouble Will Find Me.' I liked a bunch of other ones (Daft Punk, Lorde, Jason Isbell, Danny Brown, Chance, not Jay Z), but those two were the ones I listened to more than all others.

I can't remember Katie making a single strategic move or voicing a single strategic thought. Part of that is editing, I'm sure, but I'm not just going to assume that it's all editing. She got lucky in the fact that Caleb and Hayden started voicing discontent about Tyson. If they hadn't been scheming, she would have…

Eh, in terms of being a legit threat to winning the game, I think Ciera and Hayden are about on the same footing. I think Tyson and co. might vote Ciera out just because of the shenanigans she pulled this week.
