Take this with a grain of salt, though. I’ve still got some films to see. King Kong and Revenge of the Thithhhhh don’t really belong on this list, […]
Even more fun than actually going to the annual Xmas Movie, is the months-long nomination and selection process of said Xmas Movie. Normally. This year—the fourteenth year of the Xmas Movie, by the way—was a different story. Not that there’s a lack of good movies in theatres right now, but the three […]

I was thirteen when I saw My Girl, a romantic melodrama made for the sole purpose of jerking the tears right out of teenage girls and their mothers, starring Dan Aykroyd and Macaulay Culkin. It tells the overwrought, saccharin story of Vada Sultenfuss (I’m not making this up), an eleven-year-old girl whose mother has […]

“I don’t ever want to see either of you in here again,” said Officer Sanderson, the straight-out-of-70’s-porn, it’s-part-of-the-uniform-ma’am moustache barely moving above his lip. “Now, beat it.”

I really just can’t take this. And, to be honest with you, I’m sort of sick of it. For a few years there (1998, ‘99, and, to an extent, 2000), watching the Yankees was fun because they just flat out won. Except that that’s mostly untrue, too. The ‘98 and ‘99 […]
Okay, so, the guy’s my hero, at least in my chosen field (as he is for a lot of people who do what I do). He’s the most famous graphic designer in the world. USA Today called him “the closest thing to a rock star” in the industry. He’s written a novel […]
The white plastic toilet seat is somehow tacky enough with the left-behind goop of its previous occupants to chafe my thighs at the same time as it’s almost too slippery with my own cold sweat to prevent me from sliding right into the bowl. A wave of teeth-grinding abdominal pain has just passed, and […]

Here’re two more, Cinderella (1950) and King Kong (1933):

Today, September 19th, is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so, imagine yourself with an eyepatch, a peg leg, and a ship all your own (except for the part where you stole it from someone else) and, you know, talk like a pirate today, damn it. Or you’ll have to swab the deck, or […]
