I've finally reached the point in my Netflix queue where it's time to catch up with more Ingmar Bergman movies. When I mentioned that to my fellow movie-loving coworker, he said, "You might want to break those up a bit with some fun movies." Dude's got… more »

I have no idea why I was so excited about seeing this movie. I think it had to do with John Cusack getting back into the spirit of fun movies. When he's having fun, I'm having fun. And there's certainly a lot of fun in Hot Tub Time Machine. The s… more »

Since I know a few of you who read my blog actually do come to find out what I'm up to as opposed to what I'm watching, here's a Monday update post for you, for the first time in a while! Let's see. The last time I updated was a month ago. Sorry abo… more »

[youtube]QMtIYaIwCVQ[/youtube] So that's it. My car is officially gone. The police found it but it ended up being a lost cause. I'm a little sad it all went down this way. I'm currently working on getting a new car. The video was shot on my new i… more »

This week I’m getting to have a little taste of what it’s like to be a single parent. Erika is away in Florida, attending her sorority’s national convention, so from Wednesday afternoon through late Sunday night I’m flying solo.There have been a few… more »

Yesterday Beck.com wrapped up the latest Record Club installment. This time Beck and friends covered Kick by INXS. I've been waiting for it to be finished so I can download the bootleg audio rips and listen to it as an album, so I've only now heard mos… more »

"Well, they finally did it. They killed my fucking car." - The Dude So I got back from Vegas to discover my car had been stolen from my apartment complex. That's the punishment I get for thinking I shouldn't take the Neon to Vegas, I should rent a c… more »

Yesterday I saw my home of Fremont, Nebraska on the national news, though for a not-so-auspicious reason. They recently passed a law that would prohibit local businesses from hiring, and local landlords from renting to, illegal immigrants. Like the rec… more »

I'm quickly falling behind in movie reviews again, partly due to laziness and partly due to the World Cup. It would be amazing if one day I were able to post movie reviews just a couple days after seeing the movies. However, I do like the fact that the… more »

I am leaving tomorrow morning for Vegas for my 30th birthday. Wow. 30. I'm trying not to make it a big deal, but when I think about 30 years and everything that encompasses, it's hard not to make it a big deal. When I think about all the stuff that h… more »

These days, I seem to catch a lot of movies at the discount theater, because the movie trailers just aren't selling the movies to me. Is it due to poorly-made trailers, or have I just seen so many trailers that nothing looks very new or exciting? In an… more »

Stephanie: [to me] "You're like a honey-baked ham." What is Stephanie talking about? Well, I'll tell you. I gave her a hug, and she was trying to find a way to put into words how warm and soft I am. This just in: time to start exercising again. I a… more »

Trailers can't always capture the magic of a movie, and that is definitely the case with Fantastic Mr. Fox, a movie which I kept putting off because the trailers didn't seem very interesting. I should have remembered that a Wes Anderson movie is always… more »

It's time to bring back an old standard on the blog. I have gotten away from anything like regular posts--and by 'regular' I mean 'just slightly more than semi-annual.' No matter! Here's how you play "What Is Stephanie Talking About?": I give you a quo… more »

[youtube]9_MqZn7E-mk[/youtube] This is pretty awesome. It's a short directed by Keven Tancharoen to try and build some interested in an R-Rated Mortal Kombat movie. The video is probably NSFW, so beware. I think this could be a really good idea, es… more »

Mongolian baby FTW! Haha. So my sister and I took my mom and grandma to see Babies for Mother's Day. I know it's not necessarily supposed to be a contest, but I found the Mongolian baby to be the most entertaining to watch. I loved his curious advent… more »
