Saw the movie.... it was actually very good.  Surprisingly good, as most critics are saying... lots of big robots, uh, transforming, and beating each others asses.  They talk a lot more than the preview suggests...  I was worried it was gonna be all serious and overdramatic in true michael bay style, but the guy figured out the mood of the movie, ( Read more... )

First off, I just saw this movie last night and I gotta say that it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.  It was so good that I called my mother immediately afterward at 12:45 at night to demand she see it.  It was so good that its gotta be among only two or three movies I've ever seen in my life where the crowd immediately and ( Read more... )

Ive always tried to avoid philosophical or religious discussions on this thing... I am more or less a reluctant agnostic with vague transcendentalist overtones.  I was brought up catholic, and enjoy learning more about rational logic and phenomenology...

So, a variety of people have expressed an interest in joining me and Elana at brillobox for trivia night this week, though most of you requested some type of reminder.

Well here... you are officially reminded.  Also, my sister is in town and will be joining in the festivities, and being that she is awesome you are all invited to get beastly drunk ( Read more... )

Ok, so Grindhouse was sweet as shit... absolutely delivered everything I wanted to see in the movie and more.  The trailers, the movies, everything.... all fantastic.  I even liked the vintage "coming attractions" clip with the corny 70s music.  And Rose Mcgowan?  Hot damn... I always thought of her as being that one bitch that was with marilyn ( Read more... )

So I did some thinking about this recently and the truth suddenly occurred to me.  In fact, i've known the answer to this one since I was a little kid, now that I think about it.  So without any delay, I present to you my perfect dream girl:

So i'm thinking about making some cilantro lime chicken fajitas tonight, but my original dinner partners bailed due to a symphony performance tonight.  Anyone interested in making it a dinner party?  I haven't cooked for a lot of people in a while and I'm feeling the itch.  I can probably provide vegetarian options, or you can just pick out the ( Read more... )
