This Too Shall Pass

3 March 2010

OK Go has built its following entirely on video promotion.  The ‘treadmill video’ for “Here It Goes Again” has something like 50 million views on YouTube and won the band a Grammy.  But video is dead, right?  MTV and VH1 barely play them, don’t they? For good or for ill, the music is the important [...]

2 March 2010

Hey, kids, want to satirize the reality TV craze a few years too late and miss the point of doing so entirely?  Yeah? Then you should watch Killer Movie as a primer in how to pull off such a terrible idea. Yeah!
Making a horror film in and around the set of a reality TV show [...]

31 Days of Terror – The Wolfman

1 March 2010

Throughout the month of March, Jeff will be posting about one horror movie that he’s seen recently each day.  Odds are he won’t keep to this grueling schedule, but it’s nice to have the illusion of structure.  It’s like a theme week times four.  It’s 31 Days of Terror.
Joe Johnston is a maddening director.  He’s [...]

Elsewhere

25 February 2010

Ana and Thea, The Book Smugglers, are clearly being blackmailed by me.  Why? Because I’m guest posting on their blog again, this time reviewing a steamy romance novel that I didn’t actually hate.
Oh, and The Utopian, the most emo webcomic written by a grown-ass man, has a plethora of real-world guest appearances in its latest [...]

Lost 6.5: “The Lighthouse”

24 February 2010

You know what I love about a good Jack-centric episode of LOST?
“Is it that you hate Jack so much that you revel in any opportunity to see him damage his own life and the lives of others, especially when he and his myriad dysfunctions are the prime focus?”
Yes, Imaginary Reader I’m Having A Fake Conversation [...]

A Rambling Post About Comic Books With Several Footnotes

23 February 2010

It’s not a book that’s going to launch you to superstardom or put you at the top of the sales chart but I was really proud of what I was able to do on that book and hopefully it will hold up for Ghost Rider fans. I also was happy because I [...]

I’m Posting About Grey’s Anatomy Again

19 February 2010

Without spoilers, because I know not everyone is caught up on the current season, I have to say that last night’s flashback-laden ep was my favorite hour of Grey’s this season. Primarily because of stunt-casting guest stars J. August Richards (Gunn from Angel) and Sarah Paulson (of American Gothic and Studio 60 fame) as the [...]

Friday Cover Songs #900

19 February 2010

Phoenix – Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands (Bob Dylan cover)
Iron and Wine – Same Old Song (Four Seasons cover)
So the theme today is that there kind of isn’t a theme. I’ve been sitting on that Phoenix cover since last week and, while I have more than enough Dylan covers to do a second all-Dylan [...]
