One more irksome aspect about Begins I must add ( Read more... )

So as a Batgeek, I was naturally psyched for Batman Begins. The last 2 movies were absurd turds directed by a gay dude who apparently thought that the old colorful camped-up tv series was a wet dream to use for his own personal cinematic homosexual overtone-laden playground. The trailer for Begins made me wary for various nitpicky reasons: Bale's ( Read more... )

As a kid, I didn't mind Tom Cruise all that much.  What '80's kid didn't like Top Gun? (well, in the '80's; now, not so much)  But by the time the shitfest that was Days of Thunder rolled around, his luster had quickly faded.  He's just not that great of an actor.  Not awful, but just not that great.

Not that anyone needs to talk up or about Star Wars anymore, but I found this review of Revenge of the Sith highly entertaining. And this guy's style puts my weak-ass rants to shame. And there's also other funny shit on the site.http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse

So tonight, as I've done in the past, so as to keep my finger tightly (but briefly) on the pulse of America, I tuned into the last 2 minutes of American Idol. (why sit through 30, 60, or 120 minutes of that shit?) I knew that the safe, inoffensive chick would win. I called that weeks ago. Her voice is a cunthair above mediocre, and she has that ( Read more... )

Spoilers up in here, in case you don't want to get the Sith experience ruined by yours truly. And this is a first impression. My opinion might change by the time I'm finished. But probably not ( Read more... )

So I'm going to see Revenge of the Sith tonight at the midnight geek showing. Cuz I'm a geek. At midnight. Actually, regardless of time of day ( Read more... )

I don't know why the voice-over for the trailer for Saw didn't cop out and go for the punny "See... Saw ( Read more... )
