Darth Vader + Thriller = Awesome Amazing.
Suzanne Vega — a “two-hit wonder”
I’ll admit it. I am a huge Suzanne Vega fan. I think she has produced some of the most inventive music in my collection, and her waif-like, breathy voice is one that I can listen to over and over again. In this article on the New York Times website she discusses her current branding as a “two-hit wonder.” The two hits…
Blu-Ray Drive coming to X360!
Wow, this is exciting news. I never really considered myself a videophile, but after the cheap HD-DVD binge that I went on last month, I am hooked on hi-def. It seems that now, after months of denial, Microsoft is indeed working on a Blu-Ray enabled add-on drive (and possibly a system with the drive included). Depending on the price point,…
HD-DVD
Well, given the recent price drops in the HD-DVD camp, I went ahead and decided to pick one up. I don’t really see myself getting a Blu-ray player anytime soon, since the only one worth having is the PS3 and I am perfectly satisfied not having one of those. I went ahead and got the add-on drive for the 360,…
Be Kind Rewind
In spite of Stuff White People Like, I am very excited about pretty much anything that Michel Gondry does. He’s a film geek and an in-camera effects wiz, and I have yet to be disappointed with one of his films. As a result, I am very, very excited about Be Kind Rewind. It looks like a much smaller film than…
Tim and Eric’s Awesome Tour – Off Broadway St. Louis MO
I had the dubious honor of heading up to St. Louis and to see Tim and Eric’s Awesome Tour this Saturday. It was awesome (as the name would seem to imply). I had a fantastic time, overall. The venue was small, close quarters and it was pretty easy to see everything. It was a tiny club that accomodated about 300…
Mike Wieringo – Rest in Peace
The comic world has lost one of its greatest talents today. Mike Wieringo (his website appears to be down at the moment, probably due to a massive surge of hits), best known for his work on The Flash, The Fantastic Four, and numerous Spider Man titles has passed away at the way-too-young-age of 44. Details are scarce, of course, but…
Oh my god. It’s…it’s Iron Man
I’m wiping tears away as I write this (and no, I am not joking or being hyperbolic), so I will keep it brief. The Comic-Con ’07 footage of Iron Man has swaggered it’s way onto YouTube, and I can finally die a happy man. I won’t attempt to describe it, and I will instead rely upon a single word that…
The Darjeeling Limited: the best movie I haven’t seen yet.
Wes Anderson may very well be my favorite filmmaker. And this new trailer is only serving to reinforce that fact. Anderson just has this way of making me instantly care about the people in his movies. I need to see this film. Check out the trailer here.
When Ph.D’s get upset.
This is pretty awesome. For some reason, I think that I will be this type of teacher. Very cool (ha!). Link!
