My father in law watches Newsmax TV - it's broadcast in Las Vegas on one of the weird over-the-air channels that is essentially our modern-day UHF. Anyway, it's basically right-wing favoring political nut-job news. But last week when we were visiting, they broadcast some piece by Ed Klein called (and I shit you…

Man, Michael Shannon explaining the shooting process of that fight scene… sounds like the most tedious process ever, and it seems like he realizes that he can't make the process sound exciting at all. "So, one day we come in and we film the punch. The next day, the kick…"

Roland Barthes predicted this sixty years ago.

Eww. I guess it's supposed to be bubbles or shaving foam, but you're right. It just looks like scales.

If Gemma Arterton and Benedict Cumberbatch ever had a child, it would be the absolute MOST British baby ever. How much more British could it be?

I remember being taken back when I saw him in an episode of the Vincent D'Onofrio Law & Order show (IMDB helped me identify it as L&O: Criminal Intent). He had really buffed himself up quite a bit and it took me a bit to realize it was him.

I watched it with my wife and her sisters sometime during our first year or so of being married. I think they were all embarrassed for me by how much of an emotional wreck I was watching it.

I watched AI a few months ago - the first time in years. I was reminded how easily Speilberg can manipulate my emotions. I was a sobbing wreck with that ending. It's not a movie I'd consider one of his best, but it's so good at pulling my heartstrings. That earnest quality that Osment had just kills me, and I want…

Oh, I'm happy with what's on there as well - I honestly didn't mean for my post to sound as a complaint. But my first exposure to MST3K was a video tape that my cousins mailed me back in 1995 that had Time of the Apes, Mitchell, GirlsTown, and Teenage Caveman (with the great short "Catching Trouble" - my favorite…

Would really like: GirlsTown (probably my personal favorite), Time of the Apes, and Mitchell. But hey, these are good too!

I showed my wife the video he directed and starred in for 'Fish Heads'. I know it's a minor thing that he did compared to the success and exposure he had later, but I really love the crap out of that song and video. It's just so wonderfully bizarre.

"…Buzz is so firmly connected with Allen’s voice 17 years and three films later…"

Yeah, Fallout 4 is just so repetitive of itself. Every task is essentially the same. But I'm loving Shadows of Mordor - the orc captains are pretty cool, and the fact that they remember killing me (or when I ran away) is a cool mechanic.

I'm still catching up on the past 3 or so years of not having a gaming system. I'll log more time either with Shadow of Mordor or Fallout 4. I picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider and I really want to start that as well, but it will have to wait. Not enough time.

Oh, it's the guy from the almond milk commercials. Didn't know he was a musician.

The suburbs of Los Angeles stretching to the east may not be well-known for much by way of fancy eats, but Petrillo's Pizza in Glendora, and Warehouse Pizza in La Verne are probably the best places I've ever gone to for pizza.

Hey, anything that results in less time socializing is a plus in my book.

My father-in-law bitched to no end about this commercial - which I found funny because he works construction and has illegal immigrants currently in his employ.

This is not something I have heard of. Next time I'm in LA, I'll have to seek one out.

This applies to just about anything, really.
