Dear Internet, I don’t ask you for much. Really I don’t. I mean, sure I bitch and complain a lot, but I never really ask for anything. But this is important. So just this once, I’m asking you for this favor… Please don’t try to save Constantine. For those of you who don’t know. It’s Upfront…
I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to watch a Disney movie again without wishing the soundtrack was done by this guy. @toddyrockstar and @shoshanabean you are officially my heroes. I wonder how much I’d have to pay them to remix Under the Sea to Color me Badd. And clearly the soundtrack to Frozen should have been…
Ok, I’m going to stop making fun of Johnny Depp. I owe him an apology. See, I never realized the power of blogging. I didn’t know that if I didn’t like a celebrity, all I had to really do was point out that he was a really bad actor and not really as hot as people…
Not everything I say can be me ranting about ridiculous racist advertising or sexist prom dress rules. Sometimes I want to talk about something fun. And so… the Academy Awards. I’m weird. I love the Oscars. I always have. People argue with me about how it’s a meaningless self-congratulatory Hollywood circle jerk. And they’re right. It…
I’ve gotten so caught up in blogging about politics and racism and sexism and stuff lately that I haven’t been remember to talk about silly geeky comic book stuff. Clearly I need to fix that. So the big news I’ve been seeing people rave about is the “reports” that Marvel and Sony have reached a…
Ok, seriously, I’m getting pretty annoyed with people whining about “how can kids think Kanye is bigger than Paul McCartney?” So here’s the deal: First of all, the original twitter posts where people were saying “Kanye is going to make that Paul McCartney guy blow up” were clearly a joke. If you can’t see that,…
I’m sure everyone only pay attention to me on the internet because you want me to point out all the really important hard hitting news stories, right? So when I saw this one I felt like it was my duty to point it out. Apparently, Malia Obama has worn a T-shirt with the logo of…
Oh great and powerful internet, I need help with something… I had a random idea for a lesson on visual close reading in my class next semester and I need to put together a bunch of movie posters in in a powerpoint to do it. So, question for everyone. What are your favorite movie posters.…
I can’t believe that I actually care about this. And I really can’t believe that I’m about to side with Iggy Azalea over Q-Tip… but I am. So apparently it’s a slow news day. I keep seeing people ranting about Iggy Azalea and how she apparently has failed to address the problem of racial violence…
I remember a few years ago when Tobey Maguire Spider-man movies were coming out and Marvel had just started Phase 1 of their Avengers film series, Howard Stern made a comment that ALL movies and TV shows should have superheroes in them. He said it didn’t matter what it was… you’ve got a police procedural going…
So, while I was in line at the store to get cigarettes a little bit ago, I overheard something (you always overhear interesting stuff in line at the convenience store). Some woman was telling her friend that she was sick of the media concentrating on all of the negative press the NFL gets with Adrian…
So, @ArianaGrande was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night. I’d heard her a bit before but never really got into her. But, I decided that she was “kinda catchy” and hey, I have $12, why don’t I toss it at her album. Besides… I mean look at her. She clearly wants to be a Cosmic Hellcat.…
Ok, you know that movie where there’s a teenager who knows that the only way to be a real man is to have sex, so he decides that this is the year he’s going to lose his virginity and he spends like the next 90 minutes getting into all kinds of crazy hijinks in the hopes of…
I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. It’s a football town. As a resident here, I am required by law to worship the Pittsburgh Steelers, forsaking all other gods before them. Football is a religion here. Do you understand the level of sacrilegious gumption it takes for a city to pronounce a football play as “immaculate” and continue…
If you hadn’t picked up on it now, I’m kind of a comic book geek. I LOVE superhero movies. I really do. What you might not also know is that I also love Ben Affleck. There are many Ben Afflecks in Hollywood. There’s the Ben Affleck that everyone thinks is awesome who makes amazing films like Good…
