Resurgence

If you’ve been properly stalking me, you may have noticed I made a desperate request to my old pal, Steve. You see, he’s been…well…I really don’t know what or how he’s been doing, just that I know he’s been very busy, and we all miss him, and this video is just the first in many attempts to revive him, us, and the comedic styles that once graced the pages...

Warning: Extremely Nerdy Post Below

You’ve been warned. So I’ve been sick all week with a rather unpleasant but manageable infection. If you know me at all, you know I hate what I cannot control, so when my immune system is ravaged by random bacteria more than likely acquired from the lovely germ smorgasbords that are the Newark, O’Hare, SeaTac, and LaGuardia airports, not to mention the ever-so-petri airplanes...

Dream Mission

By the way, the site will be going through some re-branding soon, so get psyched. Oh hey, do you remember that time when Tom Cruise was a movie star? You know, back in the 90’s? Wait, do you even remember the 90’s? A/S/L? So in between babysitting over at my brother’s in Yakima, WA, I decided to relax and watch some TV. It is vacation after all. And what should I come...

The Star Wars movies are being released on Blu-Ray. And I couldn’t care less. Yup, you heard that right.

Return

I think I’m finally going to bring this blog back. After my vacation. Maybe during. In the mean time, while I consider writing about Inception (since my blog on Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight was one of my most “I’m going to e-mail you, you opinionated blogging bastard, until you die”-worthy entries, watch this wonderful mash-up of the movie’s music…and an...

Ass good as it gets

Yup, that’s my punny title for this review. I’m beating all you other dorks to the chase. Sometimes I’m just a lucky duck. Thanks to my co-worker Suzie, some of my fellow employees and I were able to attend the NYC premiere of Kick-Ass, the film adaptation of the cult Mark Millar graphic novel (which included a post-screening Q&A with Millar and artist John Romita,...

Past, present and future

I want us all to take a moment, please, to remember our dear friend, Diana House. Diana, the subject of The IBC Project, was a fighter, a friend, and one of the strongest people I have ever met. I am indebted to her and honored every day that she chose me to tell her story. We must…absolutely have to…honor her memory, do our part, and spread the word about IBC. This disease is...

Epitaph Two Weeks Later

Alert: this is a Dollhouse-centric blog entry, so if you didn’t watch it, you’ll only be able to enjoy my banter, and perhaps not my subject. Either way, you should read because I’m needy, but you might not get as much out of this without a previewing of the show first. Goodness. My girlfriend told me it was time I talked about Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse series finale, a...

An Open Letter to Rob Reiner

Dear Rob, I debated starting this letter with the endearing nickname of Meathead, but it dawned on me that your span on All in the Family ended over twenty years ago. My reader base probably isn’t that familiar with you as an actor, I’m afraid. Would you like to know why, Rob? Well, it’s because, in my generation, you established yourself as an accomplished film director. But the newer...

Asymptote of the week

First off, not to pretend that I pay attention to important current events, but seriously, send all your good vibes and support over to Haiti. I’ve been monitoring this and I don’t have to remind you how much aid they need. Here is a list of support sites so you can do your part! In other imminent news, Conan O’Brien. What a clusterfuck that is. As anyone can tell you,...

Three-way!

Oh, the movies. Ya know, I’m pretty lucky to (1) have a new movie theater four blocks from my apartment in Hoboken and (2) have the strange connections that allow me to see indie movies other people are shamefully unable to catch because grosses are more important than providing quality features to the viewers. And while I could go on and on about how indie films just don’t get the...

Yep, that’s me. Happy Hanukkah to me! My sister-in-law knows me better than I know myself. So, I received an e-mail from a reader this week that said the following, with expletives replaced: “ROTNBlog — Where the %)8#$ is your $#%$# #$%$#? Why would you #%$#^ do this to your #@$#% fan base? Love, Fanbase” In the midst of reading this, I thought (along with, God...

Don't call it a comeback! No...really...don't.

Welcome back, my friends, to the hiatus that never seems to end. I am back, perhaps not in full force, but back nevertheless. This month was chock full of so much work and celebration that I’m pretty sure they need to find a drainage hole on me somewhere to dispense all the overloaded brainfarts in my wee little noggin. See, a statement like that alone proves how burnt out I am. Ya see,...

Without further ado, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and in lieu of the fact that I am going to be the most worthless blogger until November), I present the first cut of The IBC Project. I would like to send all my love and thanks to everyone involved in this documentary, especially Diana, who had the courage to unveil her struggle to the internet so that others could become aware of...

American Idol

There is only so much you can say about seeing a personal creative influence and entertainment idol in person before you sound completely obnoxious and overly obsessive (take a look at the end of yesterday’s entry, for instance). The fact is, Joss Whedon is still one human being among billions, so let’s not get carried away with ourselves. That said, I’m fairly certain I...
