Naturally by the title of this post you would infer that I had finally gotten around to a screening of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. You would infer correctly. The movie was great, and puts all those puzzle pieces together, creating a smooth transition from the prequels into A New Hope. That said, I had only two distinct problems with this film ( Read more... )

Goodbye little one. Meanest little hamster I ever did meet.

Isn't that a little much? They fucked up, so charge them or whatever, apprehend them, but do you HAVE to show this picture? The American media has absolutely no fucking taste.

If you are a fan of zombie flicks, or have a Japanese schoolgirl fetish, or in the rare case that you meet BOTH these specifications, you owe it to yourself to check out STACY. It's a great Japanese flick that manages to successfully hybridize comedy, horror, and romance without skipping a beat. Great music, tons of George Romero and Evil Dead ( Read more... )

Well, haven't been keeping up with books lately. It's not that I haven't been READING the books, I just haven't been commenting on them.

Farewell Horizontal is yet another amazing title by K.W. Jeter, and I think it is now factual that 1) I need to track down everything I do not have that he has written; and 2) he is one of the best ten science ( Read more... )

Battle Royale II...why was this necessary? Let's just say that I can look beyond the plot, as I thought it had some nice ideas, and continuity-wise it fit in right after the first film. But there is more rampant, sloppy stupidity in this film than any I have seen in some time ( Read more... )

This guy is such a puss. If this happened to me, I would have kicked the skank to the curb. Especially since it was a pre-meditated act.

This fiance is a big, big dope.

Worst adaptation to film I've had to endure since Bulletproof Monk, but unlike my normal rants and raves, I am not going to give anyone target practice by fussing too much on the 1,000 or so particular reasons. Though I was a fan of the original radio broadcasts and the novellas, and sustained the BBC television production, I simply have too much ( Read more... )

I've been reading this excellent website about a guy who once owned and ran a videogame store, then moved to Korea to pursue other work. Anyway, his site is written in a very humorous fashion, almost biblical in nature, and it's worth a laugh, especially to fans of the retail video game business who will appreciate the little epiphets and all the ( Read more... )

So, Man-Thing wasn't all that bad for a Sci-Fi Channel original film licensed by Marvel. Okay, so the plot and pace were abysmal in that way most Sci-Fi Channel films are, but you gotta admit, the Man-Thing itself looked fucking badass at the end. They skimped on some gore, but not too much. You got to see a guy pulled apart, impaled with a branch ( Read more... )
