Netflix, of which I’m a big fan, took another hit from the movie studios today. While it looked to be the reasonable answer to the digital age in movies as iTunes was to music, apparently they won’t be going about this without a fight. You may recall recently, new releases are beginning to be removed [...]
For almost every holiday or season, I have a movie tradition that sort of kicks it off. One of the few I hadn’t found one for was winter itself. This winter, in particular, I was needing some themed escapism while my face regained feeling. Christmas pretty much takes all the good movies for winter, so [...]
Updated: Workout ratings based on if the song’s worth putting on your power mix at the gym. Based on rhythm not necessarily speed. As the twice in a lifetime freeze sets in…. we’ve all wanted to bundle up with some music and movies. Unfortunately, nothing too hot is spinning right now on the record player, [...]
I’m pretty doubtful that Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat can be lost in Massachusetts, but it’s been fascinating to watch Republican Scott Brown give it a try. This is a pretty critical seat because of the filibuster proof majority Democrats enjoy in Congress. Mostly fascination because…it’s Massachusetts. This shouldn’t even be an issue. Just today alone, [...]

The Android operating system, and its two newest devices, the Motorola Droid and Nexus One, have put the first true challenge to the iPhone since its inception. As an iPhone owner, my eyebrows were raised at these open-source devices that were jam packed with missing iPhone features. At the end of the day when I [...]
I like the Spider-Man series…especially the first two. They jump started a golden age of superhero movies, and were all box office hits. I can probably do without the mess-up that was Part 3, but I didn’t expect the news that Spider-Man 4 would include none of the actors from the series and be a [...]
You thought the tea party was a bunch of redneck racists? (No? well they did). In the new book Game Change (which sneaked this weekend, lands this week, and will take over the news this week and probably more) behind the scenes revelations from the 2008 election show a less tolerant and more…er…”back of the [...]
As a marketing and advertising guy myself, I considered this masterful use of social media. Domino’s executives admitted their pizza sucked, and showed that most people seemed to agree (I didn’t think actually). They retooled their entire recipe (cheese, sauce, crust) and twitter/blog/youtube’d the whole thing. Apparently it wasn’t as successful as I thought since [...]
As crappy as they are, I’m a sucker (and once proud owner) of the Jeep Wrangler. I quite enjoyed this photo of the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Islander. Gotta keep repeating to myself “Chryslers suck…Chryslers suck..” After a twenty year vacation from his vacation, “Tiki Bob” returns to the Jeep Wrangler lineup, adorning the hood of [...]
As a fan of superhero movies and a lifelong wearer of a towel as a cape, my interest had to be peaked by the upcoming movie “Kick Ass.” It’s about regular folks that decide to put on costumes and become superheroes..much like my entire life before I was 12. Ok before I was 27. The [...]
