If you haven't seen The Guild why haven't you clicked on this link, yet? Do it now. It's pretty fantastic.

Also, I'm on twitter now. Yay?

For those that don't know, which I imagine is everyone, I'm a news junkie. This is a fairly new aspect of my personality, within the last two years, spurred mainly by following the 2008 Presidential Election-- specifically, Barack Obama. Oh, sure, I used to watch my fair share of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and read the occasional New York Times op-ed pieces,...

Zack and Miri Make a Porno: Official Review (As approved of by Suicide Girl MEMBER=Annika])


Porn: the Ultimate Equalizer

Much has been made of Kevin Smiths new movie co-opting the Judd Apatow formula, even utilizing many players from the Apatow Troupe (Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Craig Robertson, and Gerry Bednob in a silly, wasted cameo). Unfortunately, I cannot argue with this assessment. The appearance of...

New Universal (volume 1): Everything Went White by Warren Ellis

and

Going through old Myspace blogs to find movie reviews that I've written, and I stumbled across this little gem. Enjoy (go ahead and fast forward to about the 1 minute mark):

I feel like I should post a blog. I've been wanting to for a while, and I've been saving web pages and links for the past two weeks in the hopes of buckling down and writing an epic blog. Something I used to do on Myspace all the time. But when I went back through and looked at all that junk, I either forgot what...

Two new episodes of Workland Tales posted this week. Go check 'em out.

And don't forget to take a gander over at Grim and the JC, too. Jordan's been busy, and his work is much, much better than mine.

Okay, have you guys heard about PETA's new Sea Kitten schtick?

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for conservation and preserving the environment, and I'm definitely not a fan over-fishing. But attempting to... I don't even know how to describe it... to alter people's perceptions of fish by simply renaming them sea kittens is patently stupid. Sure, sure. There is some logic to the argument...
