« Previous EntriesCan Spielberg Be Topped?
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008No, I don’t mean sexually.
Chris and I recently discussed Steven Spielberg’s extensive legacy. At one point, Chris said, “Spielberg is to movies what the Beatles are to music. You can follow in his footsteps, but you cannot top him.”
Much depends on how you rate Spielberg among the greatest directors of all time … and how [...]
Politics, Religion, and Logic Don’t Mix
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007Would you want your kids anywhere near Mike Huckabee during Christmas? If Ron Paul has his way, then your kids - and the rest of us - will be safe from the continued sermonizing of American politics.
What Ever Happened To Bailey Quarters?
Monday, November 19th, 2007
Anybody who was ever a fan of WKRP In Cincinnati, remembers Bailey Quarters. She was the smart and shy billing manager that soon gained confidence and became, a disc jockey. As the show went on she became sexier, but could never quite compete with Jennifer (Loni Anderson). Bailey was played by Jan Smithers. Smithers didn’t [...]
Huck Upchuck
Monday, November 19th, 2007Republican Presidential nominee Mike Huckabee looks like a child molestor. He covers over his slimy policy ideas with an air of righteous superiority that reminds me of a randomly-selected Baptist minister.
I don’t like the guy. But I do like his new ad, which features Chuck Norris. Yeah, that’s right. Chuck Fucking Norris.
Did He Really Want To Hurt Him
Friday, November 16th, 2007
Boy George is a fucking freak. I’m not sure that anybody who has ever seen him would argue that. From his very early years as lead singer of The Culture Club, where he paraded around in a dress, jewelry and more make up than Tammy Faye Baker, it was obvious that something may be wrong [...]
Beowulf - Comin’ Right At Ya!
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007This weekend Robert Zemekis finally unleashes his CGI 3-D version of the classic 1st century poem Beowulf. Many in the industry believe this is the first 3-D movie that will usher in a new era in 3-D experience and begin a theatergoing revolution.
Well, from what I can see in this featurette about the movie, it [...]
Hello, Is It Me You’re Looking For?
Thursday, November 1st, 2007
Remember the great Lionel Richie video for the song Hello? You know, the one were the Lionel stalks a young blind woman, then she makes an exact sculpture of him even thought she has never seen or touched his face. Did you ever wonder if you could create such a great sculpture of Lionel [...]
Is It Hot In Here?
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
I take a neutral stand when it comes to government and politics. I honestly think that no government will ever, ever, ever, ever work. Afterall, history tends to repeat itself. That being said, I find myself pushing my jaw back up whenever Ron Paul stops speaking. After the jump, see how Paul is finally getting [...]
White Power?
Saturday, October 27th, 2007In the latest edition of the St. Louis American, a weekly newspaper aimed at the African American reader, entertainment reporter Kenya Vaughn had some interesting news regarding her viewing of Tyler Perry’s latest film. Please read her article here.
According to the article, the ticket sales for several different showings of Why Did I Get Married? [...]
Star Trek Chokes It
Friday, October 12th, 2007Endless, breathless announcements have clogged movie websites in recent days regarding J.J. Abrams’ reboot of the Star Trek franchise; in fact, Obsessed With Film had no fewer than three consecutive stories on the project today.
All of this bluster for something so completely and thoroughly dead.
CNBC Ruins Debate
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Yesterday, the Republican debate caravan moved into economically-depressed Michigan for another wild match, this time carried by CNBC. In between long stretches of terroristic, war-mongering rhetoric from “front-runners” Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, the other candidates were allowed scant minutes to get their point across.
The worst treatment was once again doled out to this man [...]
Thoughts On A Strike
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007
The internet is loudly buzzing about what appears to be an inevitable and impending strike by the Writer’s Guild of America. And while nobody favors a work stoppage - even the writers themselves don’t want to go down that road unless pushed - it seems everyone also agrees that the studios have been acting suspiciously.
A Child Shall Paint Them
Thursday, October 4th, 2007Do you consider this painting to be art?
If yes … do you still think it’s art if it’s painted by a four year old?
And if yes … do you still think it’s art if it’s painted by the parent of a four year old and then passed off as the child’s work?
These and many other [...]
Why No Wang In Movies?
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007Folks, it’s 2007. We shouldn’t get all twittery and on edge because a guy flips his dick out onscreen. Yet, the release of Eastern Promises brings the issue to the forefront: Why don’t we see more cock on the silver screen?
As usual, I am not subtle:
Wrong Place At The Wrong Time
Monday, September 17th, 2007
O.J. Simpson has had some terrible luck. He is a great actor, yet his acting career was short. He did a great job in Naked Gun, but he was overshadowed by Leslie Nielsen. This was the first time he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. If he had only been [...]
Will Potter Be Shaken, Not Stirred?
Sunday, September 16th, 2007
Daniel Radcliffe has turned into a respectable young actor. While he may not have the most raw talent among the performers of his generation, he certainly shows a willingness to stretch himself and learn the craft. That’s more than I can say for Rupert Grint, for instance.
With the Potter series closing in on its [...]
Story Time With Mr. Danzig
Saturday, September 15th, 2007
In music you have a whole slew of interesting, weird, disturbing people. One of the most interesting, to me, has always been Danzig lead singer, Glenn Danzig. The guy most people remember as the short muscle bound, long wavy haired guy with pork-chop sideburns, that sings like Elvis and sang the song “Mother”
Danzig [...]
Dumbass
Saturday, September 15th, 2007
According to the AP:
The other night at the Bad Boys Of Rock concert (Hinder, Papa Roach, and Buckcherry) in York, PA, a dumbass got impaled by a fence.
Hollywood Prepares For Battle
Thursday, September 13th, 2007Next year we may see a monumental strike of the Writer’s Guild, the Director’s Guild, and the Actor’s Guild against the studios of Hollywood - and I say good riddance. If the studios had any brains at all, they would pursue all of the talented independents out there who have been shut out of the [...]
Into The Great Divide
Monday, September 10th, 2007
Have you ever found yourself not giving a new song a chance because you disliked the artist? Have you ever heard a song that you liked, only to find out that you hate the artist and so refuse to admit to anybody that you actually like it. I think we are all probably guilty of this at least once.
For [...]
