I’ve never really been a fan of audiobooks. I never could get into just listening to a book; I always preferred to have a physical edition in my hands with pages to turn and so forth. Similarly, I’ve always had trouble reading on my computer; PDFs don’t really do it or me either. […]

Roger Corman is legendary in the world of B-movies as an incredibly prolific
producer and director, with an emphasis on keeping the budget
fantastically low, making all his movies profitable. While the
movies are often low quality with laughable effects, and have often
reused footage from previous films, they are usually entertaining, so I
was pleased to see […]

For most gamers, there is one memory more precious than any other: their first gaming session. It’s been well over two decades, but I definitely still remember mine. My father bought the game Dungeons & Dragons for me when I was around seven, helped my brother and me create characters, and acted as […]

The doomsday clock just ticked another second closer to Robopocalypse. In an article at Reuters, scientists hell-bent on the destruction of mankind have taken robots one step closer to supremacy. There was a time when all we needed to do was take out a part of a robot’s locomotion apparatus and it would […]

Lost is on a three-month hiatus, leaving a hole in my Wednesday nights. Hopefully they’re working hard on changing the direction of the show before Sawyer and Kate steal a motorcycle from the Others and jump over the shark with the Dharma logo on its side. In the meantime, ABC is giving us […]

Tonight’s Heroes was a solid episode. It didn’t get me as insanely excited as previous ones did, but it definitely had its moments. More importantly, it was a much needed expository episode, but, in true comic form, it did it’s exposition with images. It definitely asked new questions while answering a few, […]

Go check out Hunky Dory, a new web comic by my friend Drew, and his friend Grant (who I’ve never met). I’ve enjoyed Drew’s work both when he’s posted it on his LJ, and in local print. He’s been especially good drawing strips featuring people I know in person. He’s funny in […]

Lance Hendricksen has long been one of my favorite “That Guy” actors. You know the kind I mean, you see him in a number of movies, in a variety of roles, and immediately recognize him. You may not know his name (I didn’t know Hendricksen’s until Aliens catapulted him into “name-actor” status for […]

And I thought the Japanese man-eating robots were bad enough until I saw this story and video about the Korean killer machine gun robots. We are beyond doomed. Oh sure, right now they’re immobile sentries, but you just know they’ll soon have monstrous tank treads the better to crush our skulls when they […]

By “redefine,” I naturally mean “proves he has no concept of.” First an apology. Usually I use other people’s reviews solely as a guide in selecting what movies I myself will watch, and occasionally to tell me what to look for, good or bad, within the film. But I fear I will […]
