Try to ignore the fact that Sarah Palin’s jacket is turned up to 11 and notice what her small daughter (I’m assuming, Piper) is doing with her middle finger. That’s not parenting that we can believe in.
I was always brought up with the belief that, when you’re in a public place, the way that you [...]

I was reading through some suggested articles online today when I came across this gem in a piece on Politico,
It’s very Fargo,” said former McCain campaign strategist Mark McKinnon. “Ton of personality.”
This was said in reference to Sarah Palin’s unique, goofy accent. I, for one, take offense.
Mr. McKinnon, I lived in Fargo and I don’t [...]

Finding a good movie nowadays is like finding a needle in a haystack, located within a colossal field of haystacks. The Coens are among the most successful writer/directors out there, inhaling praise around every corner and collecting every Oscar they can along the way. Last year’s No Country, despite all of the critical acclaim and [...]

Here’s the way the Internets usually work. An amusing video will pop up on YouTube, which will then be linked to on numerous blogs and other websites. At this time, I will remain blissfully unaware, as I am usually thinking about something else at the time, usually television. Then, several months later, I will see [...]

Join me tonight as I help to celebrate my oldest living friend - the television. Tonight is the Emmys, where the stars of the flat screen come together to congratulate themselves. Which is why I will, in turn, be performing my own self-congratulatory act - liveblogging. Feel the excitement, people. Feel it.

As such, today being International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I am legally bound to speak like a pirate. Yar. Mizzenmast. So this is the obligatory pirate blog post, which will be [...]

As someone who spends most of his waking life reading other people’s blogs in search of ideas that I can steal inspiration, I happened to notice that one of the current trends in blogging is to take the copyrighted work of newspaper cartoonists, deface their work, and somehow profit from it. Some of the best [...]

John McCain has a history of referring to the reporters that cover him on the campaign trail as his “base.” But that doesn’t follow with the general sentiment of the rest of the Republican party, which loves to make up a fictional “left-wing media bias” to fire up it’s base. Never mind that in coverage [...]

I’ve enjoyed Brad Anderson’s previous work–the sci-fi rom-com Happy Accidents stars Vincent D’Onofrio & Marisa Tomei as love interests and The Machinist stars an anorexic, neurotic Batman; both are excellent films.  His latest, Transsiberian, is a thriller that follows an American couple as they travel from China to Moscow and meet some shady people on [...]

At the time I started writing this review, it was Aug. 7, and I was halfway done. However, I went on vacation, leaving the review unfinished. I came back weeks after the movie had opened, and rather than going back and rewriting it to suit the present time frame, I decided to leave the review [...]
