...#5: Fire Cloverfield Review Just got back from seeing this new giant monster movie. It was not bad, but it was sure as hell not great. The first 10-15 minutes, which are used to establish various relationships between a bunch of 20 something New York urbanites, could easily have been cut to maybe 5 minutes. … Continue reading The 47 Things You Should Never Touch With Your Tongue

The Last Lap Dance Of Candy The Cat
...no, she wasn't a real feline Television Note Next Monday, the History Channel is going to show a 2 hour program called "Life After Us". The basic premise is what would happen to all of the human artifacts if we all disappeared from the planet. It looks to be a pretty fascinating show. I'm not … Continue reading The Last Lap Dance Of Candy The Cat
Squeaky Little Gerbil People
...most likely they came from Narbonic Labs Why made for Sci Fi Channel movies will make you crazy So, I'm watching Showdown at Area 51 and it seems to be located in some place that looks more like rural Virginia than the deserts of south central Nevada. What the fuck? Worse yet, it's looking to … Continue reading Squeaky Little Gerbil People
I Was There When Billy Shot The Sun
...and then we did a fade Mini Review: Stardust Simply put, this movie is made out of fun. It doesn't hit a single bad note in it's telling of a good old adventure filled tale of magic, action, evil and love. If you don't go see it in the theater, you'll regret it. Pre-GenCon Update … Continue reading I Was There When Billy Shot The Sun
Ugly As A Bucket Full Of Mud
...or worse Just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. My capsule review: Ties with Prisoner of Azkaban as best of the series. Might even be better. Good acting all around, with Daniel Radcliff carrying most of the film. It's pretty surprising how much of the thickass book made it … Continue reading Ugly As A Bucket Full Of Mud
The Rare And Beautiful Three Tailed Anteater Of Potawango Island
... they dance in the moonlight Quick Movie Review: Ratatouille Another excellent animated flick from Brad Bird and the Pixar gang. Perhaps not as universally appealing as Toy Story or The Incredibles or A Bug's Life, but still very good and especially appealing to foodies and those of us who have labored under the watchful … Continue reading The Rare And Beautiful Three Tailed Anteater Of Potawango Island
The Quiet Ducks Taste Best
...yum yum Short Movie Review: Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End This movie had the same basic problems as the third Spider-man film: too long, too many plot devices/characters, not a tight script. It was ok, since any movie with Johnny Depp and Geoffry Rush giving over the top performances is at least watchable … Continue reading The Quiet Ducks Taste Best
Cobras In The Water Closet
...not a pleasant surprise My sweet and playful canines woke me up at 6:00 this morning when they needed to go out to pee. I've been awake ever since. A bit of housecleaning (a very small bit) has been done. More will be done once we return from the 11:00 showing of Johnny Depp's latest … Continue reading Cobras In The Water Closet
Chasing An Alligator Up A Tree

What The Fuck Do You Mean “Beer Is Not A Food Group”?
...tell that to a college student Doc Update 1: I'm home with another fucking leg infection. Taking antibiotics and elevating the leg. Gonna miss work today and tomorrow, which our finances can fucking ill afford, but then, I'd rather not die from a rampant infection. Man, this leg shit is getting old. 2: Pulp character … Continue reading What The Fuck Do You Mean “Beer Is Not A Food Group”?
Grabbing Possums As They Fly By
...cos, ya know, them's good eatin' It's 1:25 AM and I just got back from seeing Grindhouse. Excellent flick/flicks, with Planet Terror being the superior piece of film making. I loves me some Robert Rodriguez, I does. Be warned tho, that even Uncle Doc, with his notoriously high gore threshold, flinched a couple of times. … Continue reading Grabbing Possums As They Fly By
Sex Lesson #3: If You Have To Ask, Then She Didn’t
...assuming, of course, that you care Not much of note happening here at the G&R Cross Home For Spoiled Basset Hounds. I'm still woefully behind on my gardening, altho I did buy a beautiful new variety of Sedum that is a bright chartreuse color. With luck, it will be as fast spreading and care free … Continue reading Sex Lesson #3: If You Have To Ask, Then She Didn’t

Red Cat Scream
...a neo-blues song My weekend was, by turns, fun...busy...more fun...tiring...exceptionally stressful...busy...tasty...big fun...busy...restful. On Sunday, the gaming group (minus Grace who is in Homework Hell) played Settlers of Catan. It was great fun and I won the game in a very close three way race for that 10th victory point. And now... Adventure Seed #5: The … Continue reading Red Cat Scream
Natural Mail Enhancement
...you get big letters Bond Begins We saw the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale today and it was a damned good flick. Certainly the best Bond movie in a long while, despite being a bit too long and floundering a tad towards the end. Daniel Craig nailed Bond and most of the other actors … Continue reading Natural Mail Enhancement
Zebras In The Artwork
...black & white, of course Quick Movie Review: The Prestige Wow, was this ever a great movie. It stars Hugh Jackman, Cristian Bale, Michael Caine and has David Bowie as Nicola Tesla! It takes about a minute and a half to get you totally involved and then doesn't even let you go at the end. … Continue reading Zebras In The Artwork
From Russia With Blog
...I have a license to thrill :)Assorted Doc Thoughts About Stuff On What Has Turned Out To Be A Very Lazy DayThe Origins Awards: YAWN! Does anybody really give a fuck about them anymore? Certainly not any of the Game Industry folks I know. Of course, most of them no longer give a rats ass about … Continue reading From Russia With Blog
Doc Tempest And The Green Eye Of Doom
...from the September 1963 issue Review: X Men: the Last Stand Altho I have read several anguished fanboy reviews that declare this movie to be everything from merely flawed to the precursor to the Apocalypse, I gotta tell ya, I liked it. Is it the best of the three? No, not at all. Does it … Continue reading Doc Tempest And The Green Eye Of Doom
Harry Potter And The Dildo Of Fire
...Professor Snape better watch out! Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe Grace and I saw it this morning. In my opinion, it's a good movie, but not a great one. The acting was fine and the fx were well done, it's just that the whole story was...not different enough. I've seen … Continue reading Harry Potter And The Dildo Of Fire
Dangerous Gravy
...you know you want to taste it. Damn...fell asleep in my chair last night and didn't write the third installment of the Fiction Experiment. I'll have it done tonight. Watched "Surface" last night. It's getting better every week, despite the fact that it (as in last night's episode) often pisses in the face of scientific … Continue reading Dangerous Gravy
The Kitty Cats Go To Mars
...to use the Great Face for a scratching post. Hey, kids, there's still time to put in your suggestions for the Fiction Experiment (check out the posts from last weeks episode) before I write the next part. Saw "Legend of Zorro" yesterday. Fun flick, tho not as good as "Mask of Zorro" and more played … Continue reading The Kitty Cats Go To Mars
Don’t Make Love On The Beach
...sand gets EVERYWHERE and you might get shit on by a seagull This just in: Second D&D movie sucks way less than the first! I was pleasantly surprised by the new D&D flick on the Sci Fi Channel.
