Everyone here is highly gruntled.
SamuraiFrog on The Office so far this season: Last week’s episode of The Office was the best this season. I liked the wedding episode, but the “mafia” episode was a real dud. There were a lot of people out there … Continue reading
60-B!
From time to time, when reading a negative review of a movie I’ll see the film described as a “mess”, and often times I’m unsure of what a “mess” is, in terms of a movie. The instance that stands out … Continue reading

A couple of Star Trek related notes: :: Ron Moore confirms what many have suspected over the years: that the technobabble on Star Trek: The Next Generation was just made up, fill-in-the-blanks type stuff. “It became the solution to so … Continue reading

Here’s a good example of something that makes clear that I’ll never understand the mindset that governs the way Hollywood does business. Apparently Bryan Singer, who was reported last week as being attached to a new Battlestar Galactica reboot movie, … Continue reading
Staring back….
I’ve written on The Abyss before, but I just watched it again a little while ago, and if anything, I love it even more. This is one of those movies that gets better each time I watch it. I genuinely … Continue reading
