There should be ‘Glamour Shots’ for 80s music videos.
There. That's a free business idea I'm selflessly bestowing upon the world. Mainly because I wish it were an actual thing. You remember Glamour Shots, right? Think Deb from Napoleon Dynamite. Your local mall probably had a Glamour Shots at some point or another;...
They say we’re crazy but I just don’t care…
This may seem like a random thing to post to the casual observer, but it's actually an indirect reveal of one of my top picks for a super-secret Top 50 list Howie Decker is putting together for UnderScoopFire and he asked me to contribute....
Belated thanks to my Dork Horde Secret Santa!
As you know, I'm recovering from the flu (among other things) which means I haven't gotten around to posting about any of my cool Christmas gifts, or thanking everyone I need to thank. If you sent me a package, rest assured it's on my to-do list to post about it...
The Most Pixely Man in the Universe
Animator Caleb Hystad re-created the classic Masters of the Universe cartoon intro in glorious pixel art, because, why not? And I'm posting it because this is exactly the kind of silly crap I post. I mean, have you looked around here lately? No seriously, have you?...
Getting by with a little help from Louis C.K.
If there is one good thing about being sick for over a week, it's having a valid excuse to lay in bed all day and watch crap on Netflix. At this point I've exhausted most of my Instant queue, discovered a bunch of really great new (well, new to me) shows thanks to...
Just a quick post-Christmas update…
As you may have guessed, I did not get the one thing I really wanted for Christmas. That's all I'll say about it. Time to pick up the pieces and move the hell on. But as it turns out, getting dumped right before Christmas is not the only thing that can ruin your...
Friendly Doomsday Reminder
It's tomorrow, people! So I hope all your affairs are in order, all your meat closets are stocked, you've spent quality time with loved ones, and most importantly, you're all caught up on your favorite TV shows. It would've really sucked to die a fiery death...
The best damn 80s synth music you’ve never heard.
It was a combination of happy accidents that led to my discovering Rosso Corsa Records, a small, independent label that specializes in super 80s-esque synth music that would totally rock my nuts off if I did indeed have any nuts to be rocked off. More precisely,...
What’s this? A Michael Bay movie I kind of actually want to see?
Preposterous. Never thought I'd ever type the combination of words that make up this headline, but here we are. httpv://vimeo.com/55964521 The 80s! Miami! Body building! Steroids! Bullets! Running in slow motion! Hot cars! THE ROCK! I'm actually not sure what the...
The Culture of Cult Films: What is “Cult”?
Cult Film Club podcast Episode #2 is now live! For this second meeting of the Cult Film Club, Shawn, Pax, and I decided to have a more general discussion about what makes a film "cult." (Don't worry, we'll get back to our established format of reviewing...
Target’s $1 section has some really cool, geeky stuff in it lately.
I usually skip past Target's dollar section (that little crap-filled area close to the front door, strategically located so that you're required to walk past it), having learned to ignore the siren call that is messy aisles of picked-through bins overflowing with...
Nickelodeon TMNT Toys Now at McDonald’s!
I swung through the drive-thru of a McDonald's on my way to work this morning (for a breakfast burrito--it was delicious, thank you for asking) and was ecstatic to see they finally had the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Happy Meal toys. (Thanks again to...
