I was so disappointed when I heard the news about North Carolina this morning. There's still a lot of work to do.Re: Morning Awful: North Carolina

The Private Life of Henry VIII
Starring Charles Laughton, this 1933 classic was my introduction to the history of Tudor England when I first saw it at the age of seven or eight. As you might guess from the British Board of Film Censorship title card … Continue reading
Mega City One Fashionistas Do Not Wear Polo Shirts
Of all the images I’ve seen from the new movie production, this one (via) is the most troubling — and not because of the exploding brain matter, or Judge Anderson’s steady poise in execution. (Trust me, the darkly-comic world of … Continue reading
Major Barbara
This blog has willingly engaged in open controversy lately over the president’s use of wartime authority. Do not mistake this work for some kind of apologetics, and rest assured I am as affirmatively liberal in my views on the subject … Continue reading
Morning Awful: GI Joe II
Why would Hollywood even bother when the first movie sucked so bad and the comic book has been shit since issue #41? I don’t understand how millions of dollars can get flushed down the drain like this without incurring riots … Continue reading
Dredd Lawmaster Needs Buildings
Via. This isn’t bad; in fact, it’s a pretty hot take on the lawmaster. Judge Dredd’s ride is supposed to look like something that can go 200 miles an hour and kick ass, with a big imposing grill. Yet I … Continue reading
Better Dredd Than Dead!
This quote from Karl Urban, actor currently in post-production as the title character in a new cinematic version of Judge Dredd, my favorite comic book, is music to my fanboy ears: If anyone is familiar with Dredd, over the years there are … Continue reading
Avengers Trailer
This will either be an epic cinematic event or have the greatest suck-factor since Matrix: Revolutions. When there are too many characters and the bad guys are two-dimensional, even the most fanboyetic special effects won’t make me want to see … Continue reading
Movie Review – “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold”
The jujistu that Morgan Spurlock employs here just about made me want to stand up and clap. Continue reading
Towel Day
Hey, galactic hitchhikers! Yesterday was the day you were supposed to take a towel everywhere you went in celebration of the life and work of Douglas Adams. If you forgot, or if you were subject to security screening going in … Continue reading
Exit Through The Gift Shop
I’m a big fan of the street artist known as Banksy, whose documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop is attracting controversy with its Oscar nod. Allegations that Thierry Guetta, AKA Mr. Brainwash, is a Borat-style mockumentary character have been running … Continue reading
