Toy Story 3

Outstanding!

Except for the Ken and Barbie stuff which I thought was cliche and corny, and will probably make the movie feel more and more dated as the years go on.

I Spit on Your Grave (2010)


Somehow even more offensive than the original! Is it because its very existence suggests many serious conference calls between studio executives and financiers, all of whom were looking for an advantageous return on investment?  Is it because its existence further suggests the involvement by an even more populous collection of actors, technicians, and union laborers, many of whom probably had serious qualms about re-shooting such a film and yet signed on anyway?  Is it because I still chose to watch this movie in spite of my own knowledge of and qualms regarding its production and promotion?

OR is it just because I watched the 1978 version with the non-stop Joe Bob Briggs audio commentary?

The lighting was real good.

Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?


Seriously? It took me this long to find out Cheeseburger's Gang's All Here cover art is just a take-off of Nilsson Schmilsson?

Exit Through the Gift Shop


Kinda made me wish I did something neat and creative, but then I realized that when it comes to "street art" I tend to side with law enforcement.

And Everything Is Going Fine

The hi-def's not worth it, but what a great movie. All hail the ghost of Spalding Gray.

Joan Rivers -- A Piece of Work


Joan Rivers is amazing. While it's easy to see her on HSN and forget that she's still a comedic genius, it's even easier to never ever realize that she works like a goddamn maniac. Fifty years in the biz, folks. If she wasn't great, you wouldn't know who she is.

I Am Comic


I used to hit every metal show that came to town, but at last Saturday's Goatwhore / Watain twofer I spent the entire night agonizing about how best to tweet my desire to make fun of everyone in the venue.

So, yep, guess it's official. I'm done with music. The future belongs to stand-up.
