Goonies Never Say Die

I know we’ve been talking about movies a lot lately. It probably has something to do with me being currently unemployed and having a lot of free time on my hands, so what are you gonna do? Movies are more than a cheap way for me to kill a couple…

What’s the Buzz?

Ah … Spring is in the air. I mean, it should be because it’s the beginning of May, but I guess it depends on where you are and how rising Earth temperatures are affecting the climate in your area. But traditionally, the beginning of May is smack dab in the…

Star Wars: The Force That Keeps on Giving

Like it or not, the Star Wars universe is set to expand substantially. Disney recently released a teaser for the next film in the series, a spin-off entitled Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and it looks like we could be off to a good start. That doesn’t mean Disney…

Bill Pullman on Speed Dial

I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a honeymoon, but you really should go on one. Like, even if you’re not married, you should just go on a trip to an exotic location with whoever and just tell everyone you just got married. You’ll get treated like a fucking…

A Reboot to the Head

Hollywood would like us to believe that things are always more funny the second time around. When something original becomes a hit, the studio execs can’t help but beat the idea to death to squeeze every last dollar out of it. For a long time, that corpse-fucking came in the…

He Is Risen LOL

You may have noticed that James, the usual occupant of this prime editorial real estate, is somewhere else right now, enjoying a fulfilling human life. So instead of his well-informed, razor-sharp wit, you get whatever this is. And by “this,” I mean the vestigial remnants of my narrative voice, the…

The Optimistic Pessimist: The Trouble with Rabbits

You probably love the Easter Bunny, and why wouldn’t you? He is absolutely adorable with those floppy ears and that puffy tail. As if that weren’t enough, he also gives us candy. Sure, some of that candy is disgusting Marshmallow Peeps and Cadbury Eggs, but he also gives us good…

Just Let It Crawl, Man

I’m really bummed that I won’t be able to watch the Oscars tonight. As a fan of both football and movies, the Oscars is great because it’s like I have two Super Bowls every year. Alas, I will be at work and unable to get drunk and Facebook pithy comments…

The President of the Future

People of Earth: time travel is possible, and I have seen the future. You read that right, I said I’ve seen the future. While science wasted its time trying to convert a DeLorean into a time machine (idiots), I discovered that time travel is possible simply by having the current…

Two Become One

So Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died. I’m sure a lot of us have a lot of opinions and feelings about this. It’s all over Facebook. It became an immediate hot-button topic of the Republican presidential debate (not that I’d watch such a thing, but I saw clips … unfortunately)….
