Pete & Pete Now

Via Old School Nick Forget Saved By The Bell, I think Jimmy Fallon should focus his efforts on Pete & Pete. Michelle Trachtenberg would be the only one remotely hard to get. Also, I'm pretty sure it would be way more awesome. Little Pete is act… more »

About That Saved By The Bell Reunion

Jimmy Fallon got scooped (and Screech and Mr. B got totally dissed). I'm a little bummed but I still think something more could happen. Of course, Tiffani Thiessen has the last word: Tiffani Thiessen is Busy from Tiffani Thiessen I kind of unders… more »

Twilight DIDN'T Ruin Comic-Con

Since my return from Comic-Con I have had many folks asking me about those pesky Twilight fans and how horrible it must have been dealing with them. This is simply not true. I talked to quite a few of these young (and not so young) folks and I found th… more »

Link of the Day: MadMen Yourself

Make your own here. I seriously can't wait for the third season to start on August 16th. I would have to say of all the shows I am currently watching, MadMen is definitely in the top three. more »

Comic-Con Part One

I still haven't uploaded my pics but I will start with a couple things. Thursday night Eric and I went to a free GWAR concert for the Brutal Legend video game. This was the end result: I also had a great time meeting and chatting with many of my… more »

Family Weekend

Well, another week and weekend are past, and I'm more and more grateful for the family that I have. My sister-in-law and two nephews have been staying at Ric's parents' place for the past week, and we were over pretty much every night to hang out and ch… more »

Back

I am back from Comic-Con and it was fantastic, as always, but I will have a full update tomorrow since I'm about to crash hard. I will just say that I have some tales to tell. Eric Wright should help tell one of them. Thank you to all the nice folks I… more »

Yesterday

Erika's brother Ian visited us this weekend, which was very exciting for Daniel. This morning at breakfast he was jabbering away about uncle Ian and what we all did together, and at one point he said, "You know, yesterday, we unfold the bench and uncle… more »

Marvelman has an owner?!

I don't normally pay attention to comic cons, mostly because I'm jealous that I will probably never have the privilege of going to one, but this caught my eye today. Marvel has acquired the rights to Marvelman. To help you understand why you should… more »

Prepare Yourself

I'm leaving for the awesomeness that is Comic-Con tomorrow. This week has been a little nuts gearing up toward that. Our hotel room almost fell through but thanks to my friend Adam everything got worked out. Today I have to run to the bank (I always c… more »

Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)

Oh, movie franchises, why can't you realize when it's time to let go? I recently finished my quest to watch all of the Planet of the Apes movies, and sadly, Battle for the Planet of the Apes is even less enjoyable than Conquest was for me. In it, t… more »

Breaking it Down Again

Saturday night, the wife and I went to see one of my favorite bands ever, Tears For Fears, at the Oregon Zoo Amphitheater. It is a great venue, and they allow you to bring your own food in. It was a sellout, so I am glad we got there early! We had… more »

Ghost Town (2008)

Just a quick review for a quick and fun movie: Ghost Town. The movie starts off with Greg Kinnear's death. That's no spoiler. He dies and has unfinished business with the wife he left behind. As it turns out, there are tons of ghosts walking around w… more »

Solar System Weekend

What's up?! How were your weekends? Mine was low-key, but I suppose I was somewhat productive with it. I forgot to mention that last Thursday night was a screening of Yankee Doodle Dandy at the Fox Theater. As expected, the crowd wasn't that huge.… more »

Dave McKean signing

I'm very excited about going to see Dave McKean in Chicago. I usually read books and comics based exclusively on who the writer is: Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore are my favorites, but I've learned to follow a few others as well. I almost never read comics… more »

Belle de Jour (1967)

I'm running short on time today but wanted to be better about posting, so here's a quick review of a movie I saw probably two months ago! How do I get so far behind so easily? Belle de Jour stars Catherine Deneuve as Severine, a newly-married woman.… more »

Public Enemies (2009)

I'm always game for a gangster movie, especially one starring Christian Bale, Johnny Depp, and Marion Cotillard. They're all fine actors who usually make good choices (with the exception of Bale in Terminator Salvation), so I expected to be treated to a… more »

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

I was willing to wait for the cheap theater for this movie, but Ric was in the mood, and after all, summer blockbusters are meant to be seen with some decent sound and projection. This sequel to Transformers takes place a couple years after the first mo… more »

Summer Nights

I've been spending a lot of my nights staying up late, watching old teen movies and thinking about old times. I don't know why. Tonight was Clueless. Just like old songs, I can remember where I was in my life when I watched these films. Who they remi… more »
