On the TV show Fringe there exists an alternate reality in which Michael J. Fox never donned Marty McFly’s iconic vest. We know this because in one scene there’s a movie marquee in the background advertising Back to the Future starring Eric Stoltz, the original Marty before being replaced by Fox in THIS universe.  It […]

Well I’m sure Simon Doonan, the creative director of Barney’s, didn’t set out to pay homage to the late DJ in his Halloween 2010 costume collection for Target.  That would be dead tacky, and we know Simon hates tacky.  But didn’t someone down the production line think this was a bad idea?  DJ AM,  formally Adam […]

Once again A&E’s Hoarders has inspired, terrified, and shamed me into picking up this place a bit, but luckily upon going through the layers of things not put away for years I found something far better than a decomposing..something.  Buried in a box of old Spy magazines (miss you, Spy) was the book  “Scream For […]

So let me get this straight,  Louis Leterrier.  You had me in your forgettable remake of Clash of the Titans only to make a snide comment about me, acting all above the original?   Sorry, am I missing something?  Outside of the special effects do you really think what you did there was so vastly superior?  You didn’t have a single […]

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fDeT8H2CwQ[/youtube] Ah, MonsterQuest, you’ve lured me into your snare again.  After disappointing non-monsterous quests (big snakes? bees?) and episodes ending with a shrug of “who knows” (Flying Humanoids) tonight they will hopefully get it right with an investigation of the Michigan Dogman and his appearance in the supposedly found footage 8mm “Gable Film.”  The Gable Film, at […]

Palm Pre – the phone you can be smug about, but in a mindful way. Now who exactly are the creepy demographic Palm Pre is trying to get on board with these incessant ads – wispy Wiccans (contradiction?) who might need the occasional technical boost when their clairaudience drops a thought? Intense yoga devotees who […]

Please don’t let this movie turn out to be an ET version of Crash. UPDATE This ad campaign is seriously diminishing the cool factor of District 9’s aliens. The aliens came here and wanted to ride our buses so badly that we needed this sign? What kind of lame ass aliens want to ride the […]

He’s going to need a lot of ShamWows to clean up this mess. A few months ago knowing who Vince Shlomi was meant you stayed up till ungodly hours watching shows like Cheaters…so I’ve been told. As of late though wild eyed Vince and his Slap Choppers and ShamWow towels have been popping up all […]

Design Toscano catalog, I’m with you. “Bigfoot, the Garden Yeti” sculpture? Absolutely, but he’s not going in the garden, how cool would he look lurking in my kitchen? “The Grand Ruler Life Size Anubis” statue? Why not, $1,250 is a bargain to be tricking out your apartment Stargate style. But the Barack Obama Collectible Dragon […]

Hot off the Avon Christmas catalog – Unscripted, Patrick Dempsey’s new signature fragrance. Celebrity scents are nothing new, but the Enchanted Loverboy’s dreaminess in a bottle caught my eye due to its impressive write up. “Its like a top down drive on a moonlit night through the open countryside.” Not impressed yet? Wait till you […]

…that is Blindness. I wasn’t even going to bother posting because I refused to give this Katrina shelter meets Lord of the Flies as done by the powers of the Really F*cking Obvious even ten more minutes of my life, but I had to say this : can the creative community as a whole please […]

Well I’ll be darned, these here celebrities are telling me not to vote and whatnot. That ain’t right. Oh! They DO want me to vote. These Hollywood folk need to make up their minds. I’m thinking this will make me vote the same way those TRUTH ads will make me stop smoking. But despite all […]

I wasn’t sure about Primeval because I was so sick of seeing the preview while suffering through the increasingly irritating Regal First Look. (“We went behind the scenes with American Gladiators…”) Shut. Up. Start. The. Movie. But I caught up with it this weekend and found it to be entertaining and clever. (though not quite […]

Slated for release in November 2008, Soul Men stars Bernie Mac (RIP), Samuel L. Jackson, and Isaac Hayes (RIP). Where did they film this, Love Canal? Samuel, start taking that Echinacea right now!

You know when you’re on vacation, in a hotel room, and there’s local news on with unfamiliar anchors talking about towns you’ve never heard of? And its followed by your favorite TV show on a weird channel at a time you’re not used to? And it all makes you feel a little out of sorts? […]

Maybe you’ve heard about the missing former hedge fund thief Samuel Israel, who disappeared on his way to prison. But did you hear about his time machine?

I was a little behind on all things Lost, now I’ve finally caught up, watched the finale and started reading articles on it again, and I discovered an addition to the Spike Lee / Angelina Jolie “where’s the blacks?” rants as of late. Harold Perrineau, bitter, or would be champion of destroying black stereotypes no […]

…but was sad when you stopped calling just because she thought Tom Selleck would’ve made a better Indiana Jones.

Thought Alone in the Dark could’ve been slightly better? Tell it to Uwe!

I could write about the good stuff, like Jon Stewart was relaxed and pretty amusing, but that’s no fun…
