I’ve been thinking about everyone who is babes, and how it proves there is often no real concrete beauty standard when it comes to personal taste, unless you are one of those guys who only dates asians or 19 year olds or both, in which case why are you reading this blog? Seth Rogen and […]

REALLY???? REALLY, HOLLYWOOD? I have one good thing to say about this movie and it is that it forced me to stay on the stairmaster for 8 minutes longer than usual, because I could not tear myself away from waiting for the ending I was certain HAD to be coming (the return of her memory)…and […]

Another great movie! I am really on a roll (not counting the last 30 minutes of “50 First Dates” I accidentally watched while on the stairmaster the other day)! And once again I agree with whatever jackass at the New Yorker reviewed this film, because it is truly a wonderful one. Even a stopped clock […]

At Art && Code 3D a few weeks back I met James George. We immediately found we had a lot in common, kicking off a wide-ranging conversation about everything from miniature worlds to Portland food carts to ways of making the OpenFrameworks community more accessible. On this last topic, we even conceived a project: an […]

Anyone remember this scene in Minority Report? The year in the film was 2037. We may be closer than most people realize to this sort of advertising. There’s a nice article in the Sunday Times business section on facial recognition software. It always pays to read the business section. It’s often where the news that […]

Margin Call! Mike downloaded it onto his television set somehow the day it was released in theaters, because of Apple, and made me come over so I could review it. Mike loves making people watch movies they don’t like. Once I lost a game of Bingo and as punishment I had to write a scholarly […]

Don’t ask how I am watching it. I don’t want to have to describe the way I manage to string my eyeballz out of my head go-go gadget style and send them all the way to THE UNITED KINGDOM where the show is presently airing on ITV. It starts here, on good ol’ PBS 1/8. […]

Lets do this! The year was 1983. The director was Tony Scott, Englishman, weirdo, future director of Top Gun, and brother to Ridley Scott. The cast was Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon. The topic was VAMPIRES. In this movie, Catherine Deneuve plays a many-thousands-of-years-old vampire (although the word ‘vampire’ is never used in […]

Oh dear. Well last night, Mike picked me up in a minivan with Rebecca, Josh, and Josh’s cousin Matt who had just gotten off the Pacific Crest Trail and was understandably somewhat shell-shocked by the whole experience, and we went to see IN TIME starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Pete Campbell from Mad Men, and […]

I really think this is one of the best-worst shows to happen to TV in such a long time. It has too much everything–though some might argue there is not enough Connie Britton cleavage, it is possibly the only thing not in gluttonous overdrive. It is truly the show of our times, a really tyranny […]
