Technology & MSG

The zinnias that I planted a few weeks ago are coming up. No flowers yet, but they’re definitely growing fast. I’m amazed that the ground is supporting it; there must be some good soil beneath all of those decorative stones. We’ve had some nice and warm weather with a decent amount of rain. Probably doesn’t [...]

Imagine 30 second Flash versions of popular movies — such as Caddyshack, Reservoir Dogs, Fight Club, Office Space, Pulp Fiction (pictured at right), and more — all reenacted in Bun-O-Vision by cartoon bunnies. It’s no wonder Angry Alien Productions made it into Karen’s top 10 websites.
Very funny stuff. So funny that the premium channel Starz [...]

The unspoken rules of restroom etiquette are nothing new for most guys, however this short shows precisely why it is so important to humanity at large. I think this was cleverly done.

USA is running National Treasure a few times this week. I caught it two nights ago and had a few thoughts. Someone else besides me has got to find it strange that it was produced by Walt Disney Pictures in cooperation with Jerry Bruckheimer Films. Jerry Bruckheimer. Mr. Blockbuster. The same man who loves flipping [...]

After several months of non-stop work, this year’s Rock N’ Roll Revival is coming to a close. I’m actually looking forward to having a few days off, versus running 16 hour days every day. But tomorrow isn’t the beginning. I’m renewing my license in the morning. My FiOS install is tomorrow between 1 and 5. [...]

Last weekend a few of us got some Chipotle and watched Crank. There’s only one thing to say. Whoa.
Before a Sparks Plus, the opening camerawork is a bit much on a 72-inch screen. Dizzying even. If you get motion sickness, stay in the kitchen for the first 7 minutes or watch on a smaller set.

I saw Casino Royale last night, despite my initial concerns about Daniel Craig being too snooty for the role. Casino Royale being Fleming’s first Bond novel, it really is the beginning of Bond as well know it… and I must say despite my initial concerns, Craig manages without blinking. Literally. In the Boston Globe’s review [...]

I find myself lacking the creativity or patience to do a proper write up of The Departed, which I just saw tonight at Tyson’s Corner. An outstanding cast, for sure. I don’t need to list ‘em; if there isn’t anyone you recognize in the movie you shouldn’t be watching movies. Particularly funny was Mark Wahlberg’s [...]
