Chaos Theory
2008-06-08 18:58:00 At the time of writing, this movie had an 8.5 average rating on IMDB, which even with only 1000-ish votes cast, is good. This caused me to check this movie, of which I didn’t have any previous knowledge except for the fact that it starred Ryan Reynolds, the actor whom I personally knew from Van ...

Obama vs. McCain: Who be the Next President? (I?ll tell you)
2008-06-08 01:47:00 Welp, as predicted, it’s Barack ‘Osama’ Obama vs. John ‘Survived-the-Civil-War’ McCain fighting for the title of El President e of the once-great US and A. Predictions? This pundit-in-training is calling this one for Obama, and here’s why: The average voters, aka ‘Joe and Suzy Six-Pack’ are heavily influenced by the media to determine which candidate he/she would like to ...
Rambo on DVD (2008)
2008-06-07 21:12:00 The highly anticipated fourth Rambo movie came out on DVD last Tuesday, May 27th. I was fortunate enough to catch this one in the theaters when it first came out in January, even if it was the first Rambo I had seen. It was enough of a thrill ride for me to blind buy the ...

Roasting Bone Marrow Bones
2008-06-07 03:26:00 I truly meant to get to preparing this dish some time ago, the recipe coming from Fergus Henderson, Nose to Tail Eating. This D-Day evening, however, Operation Overlord was launched, and while channeling Ike and Patton, I prepared what Anthony Bourdain has called his death row meal (what he’d want before the cyanide was ...

Lego Indiana Jones Xbox Game Review
2008-06-07 02:17:00 As you may know from my Indiana Jones movie review, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the latest Indiana Jones movie. The LEGO video game for the Xbox , however, is quite enjoyable, and more realistic (LucasFilm’s CG talents are fading.) You play as Indiana Jones (and his cohorts), LEGO style.

On to the General..
2008-06-04 17:36:00 Despite what Hillary says, I’m moving on. We now have both of the nominees for the general election (and don’t forget Bob Barr, Libertarian! Ooo, and Ron Paul…something.) and it’s time to start making a decision. So, who’s it going to be, America? The guy on the left or the guy on the right? It’s not ... More About: General , Cain , Obama
MOTHER OF TEARS
2008-06-03 03:22:00 So I saw Dario Argento?s Mother of Tears at Seattle?s International Film Festival, the biggest film festival in the United States (but not North America, no, that honor goes to Toronto). Argento?s colorful four-decade career as an Italian horror master and auteur has been well-documented and much-commented-upon. His creativity was really at its zenith in the ...
The Last Straw
2008-06-03 00:42:00 I’ve officially lost all faith I ever had in humanity. After reading a news report from Orem, Utah, in which a woman had to call the police because she was locked INSIDE her car. Yes, I said inside her car. Locked inside. Her car. As in the car she had let herself into and was driving. My ...
You Don?t Know Bo
2008-06-02 19:35:00 But you really should. Bo Diddley died today at age 79. He passed of heart failure in his Florida home. Another rock and roll pioneer is gone. After a moment of silence, please enjoy some classic Bo Diddley in his memory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBAJXyF1HV c More About: Music
We?re all rock stars now.
2008-06-02 19:13:00 Fun fact about the Internet. Every now and again, you’ll be minding your business when suddenly, someone will spring a 50-question survey or chain e-mail to forward to 25 of your closest friends or some other quirky activity for you to participate in if you wish to not have some sort of horrible fate befall ...

Xbox Live Demons
2008-06-01 04:42:00 I just got Xbox Live about a month ago. So far, I’m pretty happy with my Gold Subscription, enabling me to participate in massive multiplayer online gaming (Halo 3), or just simple one on one battles (Guitar Hero 3). However, the marketplace can be populated by people that are good sports and just like to ... More About: Media , Games , Xbox Live
Geraldine Ferraro, Avid Racist
2008-05-30 20:21:00 In today?s Boston Globe, Geraldine Ferraro again participates in the Oppression Olympics** (boycotted by all dedicated to social justice) and reaffirms her racist credentials. Ferraro is enraged that it appears a black man may get ?a seat at the table? before her preferred candidate, a white woman. Like a certain segment of second-wave feminists (is ...

This crap continues to just write itself.
2008-05-29 22:15:00 I’m often asked what I think Armageddon will look like. Why everyone always asks me this, I don’t know. I assume it’s because I kind of look like Jesus. But up until recently, my answer has always been lots of flames, blood running through the streets, and maybe just a little gnashing and grinding of ... More About: Write , Crap
We Still Miss You, Phil?
2008-05-28 19:14:00 Phil Hartman died ten years ago today. I can still remember hearing about this. When I was reminded that it was ten years ago today, it made me legitimately sad. Phil Hartman was one of my first comedic heroes. It wasn’t just the amazing impressions or zany characters (Anal-Retentive Chef, anyone?), but the way that ... More About: Miss , Phil , Miss You
Indiana Jones & The Movie That I Genuinely Enjoyed
2008-05-27 17:52:00 So sue me. Aside from a few shitty script detours (Mutt swinging through the jungle on vines to catch up with the car chase, certain pockets of awkward dialogue, the ants(overdone), not enough with the undead Indian warriors) it was everything I had hoped it would be. It was pure popcorn and Jujubes, pulp cinema with ... More About: Movie , Indiana , Indiana Jones , Jones , The Movie
Growing Up Nate: Big-Boy Firecrackers
2008-05-23 21:00:00 As those of you who have been reading these little forays into my formative years know by now, I had a quirky childhood. Not as weird as some people, to be sure, but I had my fair share of oddness. This one is no exception, but I must stress- my family is NOT crazy. That ... More About: Growing , Growing Up , Nate
Hitchens Is What He Reads?
2008-05-23 18:20:00 ?Christopher Hitchens, Thomas Jefferson: Author of America?(1) A recent glance at the results of a computer generated search for the entry ?Thomas Jefferson Biography,? indicates that it is increasingly difficult ? if not impossible ? to say anything ?new? about the third president of the United States.(2) Indeed, in reading any new biography of Thomas Jefferson, ...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Crapper
2008-05-23 05:41:00 My 6-year-old son and I flipped a coin to determine what movie we should drop $14 worth of coin on (I hate that term… ‘coin’); Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Kingdom, Ironman, or the latest Narnia yawn-fest. The Legend of the Cursed Nickel struck and we ended up seeing Indiana Jones . I’m an ...
Crossing Over to the Dark Side?
2008-05-22 23:07:00 For the past month or so, I’ve been glued to my TV, obsessively watching every minute of the NBA playoffs. I love basketball almost as much as I love football, but due to my ADD-addled brain, I can’t make myself follow along for an 82 game season. But the playoffs? That’s a whole other beast. Ever ...

2008-05-21 20:51:00 That’s right, guys and dolls, Hillary won the great state of Kentucky by a landslide. Screw the math, THIS IS NOT OVER YET! The pundits and fact-checkers and that guy who plays with the big touch-screen board on CNN, John King, have no idea what they’re talking about. She’s staying in it for the long ...

Obama Rocks 75,000 Portlanders
2008-05-19 19:51:00 Editors Note: Being that I’m probably suffering from a mild form of heatstroke, my misrememberance of the Oregon governmental figure that spoke before Barack Obama at the rally yesterday might be excused. It was Earl Blumenauer, not John Kitzhaber. I regret the error.(and feel like an utter moron for making it in the first place) I ... More About: Politics , Campaign , Rocks

Something like that. Anyway, I can explain everything. Here’s what happened. Sometime a while back, I had an idea. An ambitious idea. I was going to write ...

All Of A Sudden, I Like Chris Matthews?
2008-05-16 18:09:00 I don't want to see the TV pundits, be they right or left-wing, as actual thinking human beings. They should be caricatures, giant inflated egos with flashy graphics. If we're learning world history from the likes of Chris Matthews , we as a society are in big, big trouble.

Too dumb for gum.

I Hate You, Manu Ginobli
More articles from this author:2008-05-12 01:50:00 T.S. Eliot once told us that “April is the cruelest month.” He may have been more focused on the inner-workings of the human condition, our fraility, and the dashed expectations of hope, but I can’t help believe that - if Mr. Eliot was writing The Wasteland today, it would have been in front of a ...
