One of the dumbest ideas ever to come out of a town notorious for dumb ideas.
Summer’s Killing Us
Today we finish the first week of July, and like many I find myself reflective on what the summer has brought so far. Back around Christmas, I read an article in GQ bemoaning the death of the original blockbuster. It pointed out – quite rightly as it would seem – that experiences like we got…
Feast On Scraps
A week or so ago, Fletch mentioned that he had yet to see a 2011 release. In a slight way I was able to relate, since at the time I myself had only seen one 2011 release – THE GREEN HORNET. At the time he mentioned that it would seem like I should be further…
Crazy Train (A Golden Globe rant)
