Just got back from a midnight showing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and there will be a more in-depth, spoilery review coming, but it’s 3 in the morning, and I need an entry for yesterday.

Thus, I had a really good time during the movie.  Not Raiders of the Lost Ark good, but better than Temple of Doom.  The thing is, the ( Read more... )

To go along with the great grilling debates of dry rub vs. sauce (both), charcoal or gas (there are strength and weaknesses for each), and boiling non-red meats before grilling them or not (don’t.  What the fuck is the matter with you?) is how do you make the perfect burger?

There’s quite a few schools of thought on this.

You have your choice of:

A.)    Mastery of the whip.  In honor of Dr. Jones and his singlehandedly fucking over the Nazis before the rest of the world got its shit together, you can master his signature weapon.  You can knock things out of people’s hands without hurting them (but you can also hurt them if you want).  You grab things and pull them to ( Read more... )

Quick, do you know who Karen Allen is?  She’s an actress.

If you don’t know the name, she was Marian Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Katy, Boon’s girlfriend, the girl that sleeps with Donald Sutherland’s character in Animal House.

It’s kind of weird; she’s been in two of the biggest pop culture-intensive movies of all time, and she’s not a ( Read more... )

Adam Sandler and Mike Meyers both have new movies coming out, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan and the Love Guru, respectively, and if you’re like most people, it settled into the dull, throbbing, white noise that is the majority of the summer movie season, and I wish I could be that way.

But every time one of those trailers or commercials come on, my ( Read more... )

Is it weird that I think Mary McDonnell on Battlestar Galactica can totally pull off the bald look?

Also, they need to start doling out answers, because piling questions on top of questions before the season break is just writing themselves into a corner where they won’t be able to answer everything.  They’ve already said they won’t answer every ( Read more... )

Sort of a disappointing week.  Batman and Green Lantern Corps kick into high gear, but sadly, Serenity and the Goon were massive disappointments.

All that and more after the jump.

Batman #676 - Here is where Grant Morrison’s big Batman event, Batman: RIP starts.  Everything he’s been writing since he came onto Batman comes to a head here.  What’s ( Read more... )

Here’s a quick and, in some places, hodge-podge carbonara recipe.

You will need:

-        Pasta noodles.  Long is good.  Angel hair is preferred, but spaghetti is just fine.  Fettuccini is also good, but it’s a thicker noodle, so allot for space.  I’m not a big fettuccini fan, so I rarely use it.  I like angel hair quite a bit, but it can’t stand up ( Read more... )

So, um, they’re making a sequel to Point Break.

I…it’s just…well…you see…okay…uh…what?

What?

WHAT?

How does that even work?  Will Keanu come back and go undercover as a surfer again?

Did Swayze’s character survive?  He’s undergoing cancer therapy so Swazye can’t actually come back.

The first movie is locked into the ( Read more... )

Mad Scientist time, and this go ‘round, he’s giving you the option for invincibility, albeit in two vastly different ways.

A.)    Man of Steel invincibility.  You’re super dense, and thus your strength is amped up due to reinforced bones, organs, and muscles.  Bullets bounce off of you; grenades can blow up around you; you can free fall from space, ( Read more... )
