Quantcast

March 2010

One of the things I do best is accept criticism and rejection. I can listen to a roomful of people spend an hour eviscerating a story I spent a month working on and walk out with a smile on my face, anxious to get back to work; I collect and display the ...

WARNING: THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS SPOILERS IN THIS ARTICLE. I think I've seen enough of Willem Dafoe's ass. How many more movies must I be subjected to his hip writhing and facial contortions? I've seen him have sex with Madonna. I've seen him have sex as Jesus Christ with Mary Magdalene. I've seen his ass so ...

I finally got around to seeing Alice in Wonderland . I had waited until my fiancée was able to see it with me, aren't I sweet? I saw it in 2D because 3D is dumb. Hopefully the rest of the world will feel the same soon and we can phase it out of our lives, ...

I was recently accepted to a PhD program I applied to at the end of last year, and as part of my acceptance, I’ve been awarded a teaching fellowship. At first I will be given only freshman composition courses, but as I gain more experience I will have the opportunity in subsequent years to oversee ...

DVD Review: The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency

March 18, 2010

I recently had a mild debate about the rapidity of DVD series consumption. The debate happened to come amidst my viewing of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. The discussion focused on how can people today can watch an entire season of a TV show in one sitting? The simple answer is because it’s fun.

Anyway, [...]

3 TV Miniseries You Have to See

March 14, 2010

I’m patiently waiting for The Pacific to start on HBO. I’ve been bombarded with ads for months. I remember watching Band of Brothers years ago and so I know that The Pacific will likely live up to that standard of excellence if not surpass it. As I wait though, I wondered what other [...]

Predators Preview Premieres at SXSW

March 13, 2010

I’m a sucker for Predator . I always have been. Hopefully all of you know the original. Predator is by far Arnold’s best movie. Some will say The Terminator but they’re wrong, it’s Predator. Well, Robert Rodriguez has brought the ugly bastards back, hopefully to redeem them after the horrible Alien vs. Predator [...]

First Invictus and Now Green Zone. Matt Damon is a Two Time Loser.

March 13, 2010

Matt Damon was nominated this year for an Academy Award for his role in Invictus. That’s right Invictus. Probably the worst film he’s ever done and before you say anything, I have seen Stuck on You. Now, I’m being a little harsh. Matt Damon isn’t to blame for Invictus. I’d say Clint Eastwood is but [...]
