Ever since the tragic passing of Uncle Pete, we've been in a BBQ rut 'round these parts. Blue Ribbon just hasn't been all that great the last few times I've gone. That truck down in Dorchetser (the name of which escapes me) was good, but keeps weird hours and is not always worth the trip. Lester's in Burlington was good, but also not always worth ( Read more... )

The other night on Cougar Town, the gang was sitting around and playing a game where they mash up the names of two movies and you have to guess the title based on the plot. Some of the examples I remember from the show were:

"Teenage castaways lose their virginity and look for pirate treasure."

Had another one of those "God, I love this city" nights last night.

As far as I am concerned, Iron Man 2 joins that rarified pantheon of films wherein the sequel is better than the original ( Read more... )

Well, I did some research today, and I think I found the candidate I'm going to support in the April 13th special primary to replace Senator Drinky McDrinks-And-Drives-A-Lot.

I'm liking Dennis Benzan. He probably doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against establishment, career candidates like Tim Flaherty and Sal DiDomenico... but hey, ( Read more... )

That utter hack Roland Emmerich is going to be making Asimov's Foundation into a movie! Oh god... the horror. THE. HOR. ROR.

I have to give a HUGE shout-out to my latest iPod Touch app: ComicZeal. I'm loving it. You can download tons of Golden Age comics for free, and it can read other .cbr, .cbz, or .pdf files you may ::cough cough:: acquire (once you shrink 'em down and sync them to your handheld via the ComicZeal Sync app ( Read more... )

I can't find the actual clip from The Soup, but my hometown went national last Friday night when this clip was commented upon by none other than the illustrious Joel McHale:
