I’ve just recently been getting back into reading comics, since the opening of Local Heroes in Ghent and Frank Miller’s Ronin was something I had no previous knowledge of, despite being produced back in the 1980’s. It was just one of those “this looks good, I’ll buy it” moments. I’m really glad I bought it, [...]
BEER
by Charles Bukowski
I don’t know how many bottles of beer
I have consumed while waiting for things
to get better
I dont know how much wine and whisky
and beer
mostly beer
I have consumed after
splits with women-
waiting for the phone to ring
waiting for the sound of footsteps,
and the phone to ring
waiting for the sounds of footsteps,
and the phone never rings
until [...]
Night of The Living Dead (1968)
Dawn of The Dead (1978)
Two classics that have inspired hundreds of remakes, spoofs, rip-offs and homages. My favorite part about George Romero’s zombies is how they act as a metaphor for some social statement, whether the topic be the civil rights movement (as in “Night”) or the advent of American [...]
Not only was the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino Double-Feature Grindhouse the most fun I have had at a movie theater in forever, it also has a bad ass website which features, quite possibly, the coolest-looking load screen ever.
Oh, if anyone was wondering: Rose McGowan is still super hot with a peg leg and Kurt [...]
So Kim warns me the other day that her best friend, Dee (who is black) might be getting me a Christmas present so I should be sure to find her something, or throw in on the gift Kim is buying her, so that, when she comes to visit, I don’t look like a heel. Fortunately, [...]
Last night Kim got me to watch “The Debut.” In case you are not familiar with this movie, “The Debut” is considered by many to be the first motion picture made in the US to capture the Filipino-American experience. The movie stars Dante Basco (white folks will recognize him as Rufio from Hook ) as [...]
I put it off long enough and finally watched Episode III: Revenge of The Sith tonight on pay-per-view and pretty much as I expected, it was… THE DUMBEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Thank you, Mister Lucas. Thank you for forcing me to grow up by defecating all over my childhood.
I’m not going to discuss this any further. I [...]
So last night, instead of my planned evening of sitting on my ass and watching “Man With The Screaming Brain” I ended up dragging an unenthused Kimberly to go see some old friends playing their third gig at Rosy’s II on Bayview.
First of all, it has been years since I have been in a joint [...]
I’m excited. It’s coming on Sci-fi tonight at 9PM. Written by, directed by, produced by and starring Bruce Campbell. Bad ass. Here’s the synopsis from Internet Movie Database (imdb.com):
Man with the Screaming Brain is a story of greed, betrayal and revenge in a small Bulgarian town. William Cole, wealthy industrialist, winds up with part of [...]
