On Tuesday I posted how local comedy company Octavarius was pitting the casts of Harry Potter and Twilight against each other. (If you haven’t done so, please be sure to vote in the poll.) The very next day Octavarius made a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT that I let get lost in my e-mail inbox. :::headdesk::: It’s something… Continue reading ‘The Founding Fathers are lost in our time In “I Made America”’
The last time I wrote a post about Twilight I flirted with incurring the wrath of Twi-hards across the country. I still don’t understand the phenomena, even after having several female friends – and my very own sister – yell at me “Edward’s love for Bella is pure!” until they were blue in the face.… Continue reading ‘Harry Potter vs Twilight!’

Last week there was some hullaballoo over Kevin Smith‘s new reality series “Comic Book Men” which is to premiere on AMC next month. Reportedly, the show was to feature the employees of Smith’s “Secret Stash” comic shop in Red Bank, NJ, but there were also auditions for additional roles. It just so happened that a… Continue reading ‘Web show “The Variants” deals in Comic books and comic laughs’
Crispin Glover has a reputation for playing some very peculiar characters. Whether it’s the sheepish George McFly in the Back to the Future films, the enigmatic “Thin Man” in the Charlie’s Angels movies, or the solitary and tormented lead in Willard, Glover has excelled in bringing to life characters that are memorable for their anomalistic… Continue reading ‘Crispin Glover declares “It is FINE.

When George Lucas‘ newest production “RED TAILS” arrives in theaters this month, it will be the end of a very long journey. It’s a personal project that the creator of Star Wars and Indiana Jones has had in the works for over 20 years. I remember first hearing about it back in the 80′s. The… Continue reading ‘George Lucas tries to make history with Red Tails Movie’
Is it me, or does it appear that the trend these days is for celebrities to start their own YouTube channels? Within the last couple months I’ve seen Carrie Fisher and William Shatner promote their own channels by having a ‘feud’ over Star Wars versus Star Trek, so I guess that Hollywood is pushing for… Continue reading ‘Doctor Who composer Murray Gold starts own YouTube Channel’
Courtesy of the folks over at College Humor (and discovered via Twitter follower @CBP3) comes this hilarious “re-imagining” of the sci-fi series “Battlestar Galactica,” with the story being told as a 16-bit video game. Classic! I especially love the bit about the “special effects budget”, a problem that seemed to plague both the original and… Continue reading ‘Battlestar Galactica re-imagined as a 16 bit video game’
The New Year is just another day away and of course, you can’t greet it without making the obligatory resolutions. Now, considering that I generally fail in keeping them, I decided to just eliminate the cliched’ resolutions of losing weight or drinking less. People who know me acknowledge that by making those two resolutions I’d… Continue reading ‘My Nerdy New Year’s Eve Resolutions for 2012′
Yesterday, while in a particularly snarky mood, I tweeted this: “BREAKING NEWS: ‘Big Bang Theory’ is as accurate a depiction of geeks/nerds in real-life as ‘The Good Wife’ is of practicing law.” Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy watching BBT. Admittedly, I never caught it during its initial run, but I’ve been getting caught… Continue reading ‘The Big Bang Theory and the Nerd Myth’
