I saw an episode of South Park where the class had to read Catcher in the Rye as it had just come off the banned book list. After reading it, the boys couldn’t figure out what about this book caused it to be banned or why everyone made such a big deal about it (same [...] Even though I shan’t be watching the Super Bowl today, I thought I’d note the occasion by posting this banned ad:
Perhaps it was banned because the network executives had their heads up their asses and felt that it hit a little too close to home. That would be my guess. Maybe there’s a [...] The first half of Comedy Central’s new show, Secret Girlfriend was about all the stupidity I could handle for one evening. I was curious so I tuned in and I only suffered through the first half because of the train wreck effect; I was hoping to see something interesting. I didn’t. It’s just another poorly [...] I’ve never been a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, finding The Man Show to be rather boorish and sophomoric at its best. I haven’t seen his latest show so I can’t say whether or not it’s any better. As the following articles on The Huffington Post blog show, he is apparently not a fan of the [...] Carrie Fisher gets my vote for the best rant by an actress in a space opera trilogy. If you don’t already know, I don’t put much stock the aura of celebritihood, the tabloids and the gossip shows, or celebrity words and thoughts. I’m too busy trying to keep my world from imploding to worry about theirs. [...] I see that the season finale of Comedy Central’s new show, Michael & Michael Have Issues is coming soon. It’s hard to believe that nearly the entire season has gone by and I have yet to see a single episode. What’s wrong with me? How could I have allowed that to happen? Actually, it was quite [...] I fail to see any logical basis for the deification of Michael Jackson. He was a musician and entertainer whose dramatic and troubled life entertained millions just as much, if not more, than his music did. I can’t deny his appeal to the hoi polloi although the majority of is work held little or no [...] I saw a comment in my spam filter the other day asking if I was going to write a post about Michael Jackson in my blog. The short answer is “No.” It’s sad that he has passed away, especially at such a relatively young age. I’m sure the world will seem an emptier place without him. [...] Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Serenity, Alien, 2001—there is a long list of movies and TV shows that take place in space. Which is your favorite? Although there are science fiction TV series, movies, and books that I enjoy, I’m not a real fan of the genre. Of the films and series listed above, I’d [...] A few days ago, I watched Circle of Iron (1978) starring David Carradine and Jeff Cooper. It was a Zen/martial arts movie that was based on a story written by Bruce Lee with some help from James Coburn. Unfortunately, Bruce Lee died long before the screenplay was completed and the movie was filmed. Carradine plays [...] |
