The Battle of the Bonds

Friday, February 29th, 2008

A long shot down the barrel of a gun. Trumpets blaring out a lively melody. Scantily clad women gyrating about. It can only mean one thing: Bond. James Bond. The Bond franchise has grossed more than any other movie series save Harry Potter (that’s saying a lot taking in to account Star Wars, Lord of [...]

The Academy A-wards

Monday, February 25th, 2008

This weekend marked a few momentous happenings in the the glitz and glamor of the Hollywood world. Another Paris Hilton movie grossed less than the star’s car is worth…while that might seem like a large sum to most, rest assured her Escalade is only a show-room prototype. Also, we heralded the celluloid circus known as [...]

Oh, Bush. Where Art Thou?

There Will be Naps

Ok-lets talk about a little phenomenon I call “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. We’ve all heard the story from baby-hood. King gets new clothes, said clothes don’t really exist, nobody wants to tell him he has no clothes for fear of looking dense, and it goes on. I think this little parable fits nicely into movie [...]

Here I am Worm…I Mean World

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Well, this is it. The thing I have avoided and mocked since the beginning of blogdom. A blog. My blog. This blog promises to un-inspire and un-activate. I hope it to be nothing more than the ramblings of an un-informed mind. That’s a lot of un’s. I like a lot of things. Not one thing [...]
