Reservoir Dogs, Schroedinger Cats
I jokingly once said we now have the technology to make 2 different versions of Quentin Tarantino films, the original and the one where Quentin Tarantino (the actor) has been mercifully edited out through the magic of CGI.

Fur Fox Sake: Skiing On Thin Ice
I just had a week's vacation down at the snow! I totally needed it because work (and study) has been totally nuts lately, and what made *this* the vacation all the more enjoyable for me was I finally got a chance to try out the 5'10" fox outfit I purchase online (don't ask how much it costed, but if you guessed $7,500, you'd be halfway to a correct ( Read more... ) -

Golden Compass: Threat or Menace?
So! New Line Cinema is bringing out a movie at the end of this year called The Golden Compass and they're running promotional material already. This 7 month lead has to be some sort of record for promotional-events-before-the-movie (apart from Hollywood planning September 11 to ensure box office success for World Trade Centre, of course), but like ( Read more... ) -
White Rappers: This Time It's Personal
I promise this will be the last one, but Vanilla Ice looks approximately like a Wimbledon winner, the Prime Minister of Australia and the lead singer of the Police. Something's rotten in Denmark.

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
