I hooked up a couple Westerns on the Amazon Unbox recently.
The first was The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Much like its title, the film is over-long, but it features some great cinematography and some mighty fine performances — especially from Casey Affleck and Sam Rockwell. I was amused at one […]

Today, Rod posted these rejected Star Wars products to our sooper-seekrit IRC channel, prompting the following:
Jake: tauntaun suit is the best thing EVER
Jake: and pants are optional!
Rod: hell yes
Rod: and then if you’re at a halloween party and some girl opens up your sweaty suit to blow you, she can say “and i thought […]

Here’s to having MLK Day off from work!
Going for my walk/run today in 15 degree (F) temps wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting. Until my calf started cramping. That had nothing to do with the cold, though. It was ready to go from the activity earlier in the weekend.
Junk I’ve run across:

Shoot ‘Em Up has got to be the worst movie ever put to film.
Wow.

Would any of Christian Bale’s film characters be a good lay? Probably not.
3:10 To Yuma: Unexpressive. Plays things close to the vest. Grim. Secretly defensive with too much to prove. Might open up in private and might consider decent cocksmanship another sign of his must-be-proven-constantly manliness, but also might consider foreplay a sign of weakness. […]

You know what else I like?
The new Amazon MP3 Music Downloads thingy, that’s what. Prices are roughly similar to iTunes Music Store and there’s no DRM whatsoever.
Hotness on a bun. (Y’know… As far as buying music goes. I still say buy directly from the artist if at all possible.)
The boss at Yahoo! Music agrees:
But now, […]

Executive Summary: The Simpsons Movie was immensely enjoyable. You should go see it, even if you don’t watch the TV show anymore.
(Some of the stuff I talk about after the jump could be considered spoilers, I guess…)
The Wife, the Mother-in-Law, and I saw the Simpsons Movie yesterday. It’s definitely worth a peek. I think it […]
