Ready From Day One
2008-03-24 23:00:00 Sorry I’m a little late with my post today. I arrived to work this morning under a barrage of sniper fire and my whole day has just been screwy ever since. But I’m not going to complain. I’ve dealt with things worse than sniper fire. I’ve had to withstand withering attacks from the GOP attack machine ... More About: Ready
Fido
2008-03-23 15:00:00 Horror-comedy is a hard genre. It can fail much more likely than normal comedy or normal horror. Many try, many fail. Fortunately, we have the genre done right, with movies like Shaun of the Dead or Fido. Basically Fido proves that you can add zombies to almost anything and it will produce ...
Hey there, Bareilles, what?s it like to write a love song?
2008-03-23 03:03:00 Because the Sara Bareilles song is on every commercial that I can’t fast forward through, or on every mall speaker system, and because the popularity of the sad-bastard music of the Plain White T’s means I have the whole tune memorized without ever having intentionally listened to Delilah, I made this song.

?Drillbit? not a bore?
2008-03-22 20:39:00 Judd Apatow seems to have a Midas Touch when it comes to comedy. Whether it’s directing (The 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up), writing (Fun With Dick and Jane and Walk Hard) or producing (Superbad, Anchorman and the TV series Freaks and Geeks) he never misses. In fact, the “worst” movies/TV shows he’s been ... More About: Movies
HBO?s John Adams: I <3 Paul Giamatti
2008-03-22 16:48:00 If you don’t have HBO this season, I’m sorry. It’s not because you’ll miss the crazy antics of those feisty bigamist Mormons in HBO’s Big Love, or the asinine drivel that spews from Bill Maher’s frothy mouth every Friday night (my hatred for Bill Maher is only rivaled by my disgust with Seth Rogen).

Sod Sex Scandal
2008-03-19 19:23:00 With all of the revelations of the sexual escapades of public figures in the past few weeks, from Eliot Spitzer to his replacement David Paterson and all the way down to Jim McGreevey, his wife Dina and their, ahem, chauffeur, I figured it was time that I came clean about my own indiscretions.

It feels like Marie Antionette without the cool soundtrack. The trailer goes to great lengths to hide the identity of the Duchess, as the narrator describes ... More About: Movies , Atonement
Barack Obama?s Speech On Race
2008-03-18 21:41:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWe7wTVbLU U I think that everyone should watch this or at least read the transcript.

2008-03-14 22:50:00 What you should be seeing on that plane is an attack on a rival airline with the statement “Longer. Larger. Farther. Faster. Higher. Quieter.

Sod Has March Madness
2008-03-13 15:15:00 In a few short days, those bewitching March Madness brackets will start making their way into offices the world over. You’ll probably be harassed by one of your more collegiate co-workers into coughing up $5 for one, since arbitrarily picking teams based on familiarity and happenstance is a “team building activity.” Well, since I have been ...

2008-03-13 03:30:00 Woody Allen’s latest film, Cassandra’s Dream, is the New York native’s third consecutive feature filmed in London–however, after a quick stop in Spain for next year’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, it appears he is returning to good old NYC for 2009’s currently untitled film (IMDb has a plethora of facts).

Hillary Clinton Is Lucky To Be a Woman
2008-03-13 00:14:00 Let me start by saying, for the record, that if Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, and ends up being the party’s candidate for the general election, Democrats must henceforth forfeit their (and by “their” I mean “our”) right to bitch about dirty, Republican campaign tactics ever again. Karl Rove may remain the guy ... More About: Politics , Woman
Why your state doesn?t matter.
2008-03-11 15:00:00 You might have noticed that here at the SodBlog, to this point we’ve been a little bit hard on Hillary Clinton. And it’s a valid argument.

Growing Up Nate: My First Motorcycle
2008-03-08 00:19:00 I grew up riding on motorcycles with my father. Some of my earliest memories are of sitting on the back of his bike as we pulled out of our yard and onto the highway.
