While browsing Huff Po for more escandalo deets on Anthony Weiner’s sexttake (sext+mistake) I could not resist the the BIG ANGELINA JOLIE NEWS ZOMG!. Salt wasn’t quit bad enough, so they are gonna try again. Some people might say this is a sign that THE WORLD IS READY FOR A LADY ACTION HEROINE, but speaking […]

In anticipation of Transformers, the threequel, here are my reviews of the previous two, which originally appeared on my other blog, Tiny Lucky Genius. TRANSFORMERS II (2009) It’s such a particular kind of let down, when you hit the cineplex for that sweet daze that only some blockbuster trash can deliver and you wind up […]

I saw the second Hangover movie last night. I didn’t love the first one, but it definitely had its charms (Zach Galifianakis). The second one was, as anticipated, a very lazy re-hashing of the entire plot of the first one. It was also weirdly boring. But whatever, I was having a pleasant enough time. Then, […]

Jesus, how long is Some Kind of Monster? We are almost two hours in and it feels like, in terms of the dramatic arc, we are not even really near the end, though they are 621 days or so into making their awful record. I think it might get finished tonight. Maybe. If my time […]

Thanks to all of the supporters who have donated so far to our Kickstarter. We are nearing our goal, we have about a week to go, you can help put us over this weekend. If we manage to make more than our goal, half will go toward presenting performances at our 20th anniversary party August […]

Let us all pause in our relentless movie watching and give thanks for the official legal unioning of our dear beloved co-blogstress Jessica, and Matt, her long-term man friend and father of her tiny crawling baby. Two lovely people made another lovely person! Now they have “sealed the deal,” by which I mean that Matt […]

“…A sensibility (as distinct from an idea) is one of the hardest things to talk about; but there are special reasons why Camp, in particular, has never been discussed.
