This is my place to vent, to pontificate, to educate, to defame, to expound, and yes, to wax rhapsodic. It's my personal brand of logic applied to the world, and it works for me.
And not just the ones in my nightmares. So, this morning, I’m thinking about sitting through the mixed bag they call the Oscars last night, and wondering if I’m the only one that’s tired of them. I mean, to give credit where credit is due, it’s a show that’s no worse than any other award [...]
Well. Some things you can never get scrubbed off the backs of your eyes, no matter how much steel wool you have. Although here I am, searching through Google Images trying to fins a picture of it, and failing, and being a little sad about that. Last night’s Survivor: Token-Cheese, sadly, did not give me [...]
Seriously, if you watched it last night, you had to see it, right? = I mean, fine, it might have been a little cruel for someone to suggest that people should be eliminated based on age, but if they had just looked a little deeper, into her soul… …they would have seen [...]
Yes, friends and neighbours — Survivor is back!

So, the new procedural ‘Lie to Me‘ has officially had three episodes aired, which I think is long enough to allow me to comment on it. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a show about an agency that specializes in lie detecting. Yeah, I know. I wondered if this was a lucrative business as well. [...]
Yesterday, after bitching about The Dark Knight, it got me to thinking about comic book movies in general, and what makes them work, or, more often, not work, in terms of the medium of film. I think I tend to have blinders on with regards to comic movies, since I’ve been reading comics most of [...]
Well, Awards season is upon us, and as a self-proclaimed geek, I’d be remiss if I didn’t speak out against a little problem I’m having with the Academy Awards this year. Look, let’s face facts — the big winner at the box office this year was a definitive one, by the name of “The Dark [...]
