Brief post this week, but a few thoughts/observations on this week’s episode, after an obligatory SPOILER ALERT:
The reveal that Charles Widmore was once an Other was really cool, and it works perfectly into the great Lost mantra of revealing information that then opens up a ton of new questions. Was he born there? [...]

So as odd as it may be for me to admit this, until recently, I’d never seen any of the Rambo movies. Weird, I know. But thanks to the power of Netflix, I have been able to remedy that situation.
First off – the word “Quadrilogy” is pretty awful – going forward, movie franchises [...]

Lost is back! And I was totally intrigued by all of the questions that were raised in the first two episodes of Season Five. I had a few nitpicky complaints, which will get me mocked by James, no doubt, but here goes: I got that the first episode wasn’t specific to one character [...]

So Circuit City is going out of business, and I won’t miss them. See, as a geek, I love big electronics stores, but the people at CC are just such a-holes, it really doesn’t bug me to see them fade into the distance. See, here’s what happened: When Courtney bought me my Archos, [...]

Angel’s a dad! Holy crap! He’s a vampire, how does that work? I gotta admit, I did not see that one coming. But alas, I’m getting a head of myself, here…
This season of Angel worked very well, as ot allowed some really interesting stories to develop, mature, and end, [...]

My problem with the first two Futurama direct-to-DVD movies is that they didn’t seem to have the right “flow,” like they weren’t quite full movies, and not quite four episodes. As much as that bothered me with the first two, the problem seemed to be amplified even more in Bender’s Game.
See, here’s the thing: [...]

Happy Birthday, Courtney!
Today, Courtney turns 29.
Today, Courtney is in France.
Boo.
Oh well, we’ll celebrate later. But in the mean time, I thought I would take this opportunity to look back at Courtney’s past three birthdays, which comprised the infamous Karaoke Kraziness trilogy.
The event began when Courtney turned 26, and we had [...]

YAY! I’m heading to Las Vegas (again) to hit the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, aka CES, aka The Gadget Geek’s Dream. I’ve always wanted to go to a CES, and I am extremely pumped. How pumped, you ask? Well on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 meaning not at [...]

Yay – it’s time for the new Spring TV Season! Hooray! Here, in no particular order, are the shows I’m foaming at the mouth for.
Lost – This is a given. Though I personally thought that last season was not the show’s strongest (blasphemy, I know), they did get the ball rolling on [...]

Happy New Year!
Every December, multiplexes are flooded with Oscar bait movies, and without fail, 99% of them hold no interest in making me shill out $10+. Brad Pitt aging backwards? That’s a rental. Ditto that one about the millionaire with the subtitles. They might be great, I just typically don’t have [...]
