The word “unnecessary” springs to mind… as does the word “shite”
March 31st, 2009 No Comments
So I went to see I love you, Man last week. (funny enough movie, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd lovable and hilarious as always) Before the film I was hit with the preview for the latest Wayans Bros. movie… If you haven’t had the pleasure, let me introduce you to the concept of [...]
My instrument

Last week was South by Southwest time again, reminding me again that I wish I had more time to seek out cool/weird new music. Not to mention a few grand for travel, accommodations and a platinum badge, plus a few more for show access bribes… Thanks to the crew over at the AVclub and Decider [...]

People with zero chance of becoming Nobel laureates

This is absolutely one of my favorite things that have been sent to me in a while, a set of 41 terrible science projects. I’m sure a good chunk of these are fake or shopped, but some are all too real. Honestly, you have to pity the elementary school/junior high science teachers. Who doesn’t remember [...]

The Album Cover meme…
March 23rd, 2009 No Comments
As usual I’m weeks late to the party on one of these, but here’s mine. The idea behind this meme is that you combine random info from randomized sources to create a CD/Album cover for your fictitious band. Ikinci Qala brings a sort of Ladysmith Black Mambazo vibe to mind and the album title/artwork meshed [...]

A Kwazy Kwanzaa… and a solemn and dignified Ramadan to you.

Sandra Lee… In my American foodie brethren her very name evokes the kind of disgust usually reserved for Rachel Ray’s spouting EVOO (followed by an explanation) or by College_Student_04029812 asking for CHEEP FOOD IDEAZ 4 DORM PLZ for the millionth time! Those of us lucky enough to live north of the 49th have thankfully avoided [...]

Picasso at the Lapin Agile
March 16th, 2009 No Comments
Kudos to Steve Martin for putting his money where his mouth is. An Oregon high school was forced to cancel a production of Martin’s play “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” due to typical American Christian/conservative idiocy about mature themes. Martin stepped in and helped them stage an off-campus performance at a nearby college One [...]
Gaiman on Colbert tonight!

Apparently the interview is tonight… interested in seeing where this goes.
Awesomely terrible death scenes…
March 12th, 2009 No Comments
The topic of terrible cinematic death scenes came up on Twitter today (I believe originally to me via Bill Corbett) and this glorious gem was posted. http://www.cinematical.com/2009/03/06/discuss-worst-death-scene-ever/ As you gather your wits after that stupidity, I’d like to ask… What are your favorite incredibly stupid but really funny as a result death scenes from movies? [...]

FLAME ON!!! (sorry)
March 5th, 2009 No Comments
My favorite team made a big splash at the deadline yesterday, picking up Olli Jokinen and Jordan Leopold to bolster their talent for a (hopefully deep) playoff run. Leopold is a reasonably solid defenseman that I was sad to see leave after his first tenure in Calgary. Thankfully Darryl Sutter (flames GM) hadn’t forgotten [...]
