I was thinking about Silver Spoons on Tuesday. You know, Silver Spoons starring Ricky Schroeder and Alfonso from Fresh Prince, not to mention the fabulously dreamy Kate who was even dreamier on Buck Rogers. Anyway what came to mind was that stately Spoon Manor was a sprawling castle from the looks of it on the [...]

Start to finish thrill ride. And it’s good to see the Orions have been emancipated.

Funny, heart-warming, delightful. Except all of the parts with Juno, which were insufferable.
Movie Review Review: Cloverfield More Like Crapperfield

I’m sorry to report my deep disappointment in the reviews for the latest blockbuster film by J.J. Abrams and some other guys I’ve never heard of. Ever since mysteriously untitled posters and deliciously cryptic teaser trailers started to generate excitement I’ve been eagerly awaiting the chance to read the critic’s appraisals of the disaster epic [...]
What I Think Will Happen On Lost
Posted in Entertainments on May 25, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Last night my wife and I huddled around the computer monitor to tune in the season finale of Lost. Here’s what I thought.
I was somewhat disappointed with Jack’s beard. Besides looking like one of those fake ones that hook behind the ears, it gave it away that it was a post-island future, diminishing the gestalt [...]
The Lips and Me

Last night I dreamed that I was the drummer for the musical ensemble The Flaming Lips. This came as quite a surprise to me even in the dream since I learned about my position in the band just before going on stage. I was a huge Lips-head in high school and still enjoy their music, [...]
Bye Bye Miss Stairway to Heaven

We used to have quite a good oldies radio station here playing mostly music from the 1960s and some from the 70s, but nothing to upset your pacemaker, just nice and easy. This music was before my time, but after I turned twenty five or so I didn’t want to hear the newfangled hipping and [...]
DEAR FRIEND, THIS MESSAGE WILL COME AS A SURPRISE TO YOU

A couple of years ago while I was writing my master’s thesis I decided to answer one of those Nigerian letters. I thought it would be a relief from the drudgery of writing an extra-long and extra-crummy paper. I just picked one out at random and created a fake email account to correspond with someone [...]
I Must Respectfully Ask You To Remove Battlestar Galactica From Your List of Favorite Televiewing Events
Posted in Entertainments on March 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Ever since my wife and I watched the Battlestar Galactica miniseries a few months ago I have been a committed, but troubled, fan. As a longtime devotee of science fiction and fantasy Battlestar Galactica has much to offer: hair-raising adventure, near-superhuman heroes, terrifying villains, gripping drama. It should serve as an example to the [...]
