A Look at the Week (or two) Ahead and Some Philosophy
Just a quick little overview of the world today, and I’ll explain why… Remember how a while ago I explained that I had started running? Yes, well that whole thing comes to a culmination this week with a 5K in… Read More ›
My Seaver Fever has Returned – Remembering "Growing Pains"
Do you ever still think about catching a little “Seaver Fever?” I will absolutely admit to regularly thinking back on the classic television series, “Growing Pains” and wanting to watch old episodes (but also being horribly frightened by how dated… Read More ›
Living the RiffTrax Live Life
One of the more fun things I’ve gotten to do lately is to attend the RiffTrax Live: The Room event which occurred as a part of the Tribeca Film Festival last week. I would never describe myself as an utter… Read More ›
"Lass is More" Laments "The Wedding Ringer"
I’m not angry, just disappointed. With “The Wedding Ringer,” being angry is too hard, it takes too much of my time, my energy, my effort. I’m just disappointed that they didn’t go out and make the movie that they started… Read More ›
Which is Worse a Bad Movie or a Disappointing One?
It was, sadly, too late for me to write about them here, but I had two reviews go live at IGN on Friday, one of “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” and the other of “Beyond the Reach.” Neither is a… Read More ›
On Loving the World-Building a Franchise, or Video Game, Creates
Currently sitting on my games shelf is “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,” and it has been there since the game first came out something like four years ago. Normally, I’m not that way about titles. I beat a game and… Read More ›
"Monsters: Dark Continent" is Better Left Unknown
The film industry is regularly slammed for producing too many sequels and not enough fare based on new, original, ideas. But, how can you blame them? Why would you not want to try and repeat/build-on your successes? Let us say… Read More ›

Just a brief introduction this morning before I embed the new minisode… One of the most fascinating things for me to watch is how my children interact with television (or movies). They do so in radically different ways than I… Read More ›
Watching Billy Crystal and Josh Gad on "The Comedians"
I sat down last night and watched FX’s new series, “The Comedians.” After all, how could I not, it stars Josh Gad and Billy Crystal, two terribly funny people (for what it’s worth, I was insanely impressed by Gad when… Read More ›
In Which I Spend 500 Words Deciding to not Talk About "iZombie"
Fine, I’m going to do it. I thought for a long time that I wouldn’t, but every week I think the same thing and it’s come time for me to say it – “iZombie” reminds me of “Veronica Mars.” Wow,… Read More ›
"Ex Machina" — A Good Movie Which Earned Greatness it did not Achieve
Some films you can watch and then forget about between leaving the theater and arriving home. Others stick with you, they make you think, they make you wonder, and they desperately make you want to see them again. It was… Read More ›
Interviews Revisited and why a 15 Minute Interview is Easier than a Four Minute One
A while back, I wrote a piece on doing on-camera junket interviews, and my experiences with them. Since then, I have done several longer interviews, and consequently I’ve been comparing the experiences. For the on-camera interviews, usually, I have gotten… Read More ›
Is Tuesday Night now the Best TV Night of the Week?
I am always surprised by the ebb and flow of the television schedule. Nights that once overloaded my TiVo now find it vacant and vice versa. Sure, Sunday nights have been terribly popular for years. Various combinations of “Simpsons,” “X-Files,”… Read More ›
The "Clue" Quote-Along: Super fun or just a Red Herring?
I have long-professed a love of silence at the movies. I have held up my love of sitting by myself in an empty theater watching movies all alone. I stand by this ideal, but yesterday, I did something quite far… Read More ›
