In my Lost entry, I noted that so much has been written about the show that it seemed silly for me to try and contribute anything. Well, that holds doubly true for Dr. Who. The hardcore online following it has means every episode or bit of news or anything Who-related generates a ton of noise…
So much has been said and written about Lost in the past 5-10 years that it almost seems pointless to write about it except describe my personal experience with it. But here’s the short version:
I’ve already written an article about the wonder that is Count Gauntly’s, Earn This contributor and dear friend Brian’s public access television show (on FPA 10). But, since then, I’ve appeared in THREE different episodes. So if I’m ranking real-life pieces of art and media and such that have distinct personal meaning, then Brian’s show is…
100 Film Favorites – #87: The Halloween Tree (Mario Piluso, 1993) We’ve come to the first made-for-TV film on this list. It won’t be the last. If you don’t think TV-movies are kosher for consideration on a “favorite films” list, you’ve been warned. The Halloween Tree is an animated adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s 1972 novel…

Q: Why didn’t [your favorite artist] get nominated for Song, Album, or Record of the Year? A: Nominations in the Big Three categories are designed to recognize achievements beyond those of the artist. That’s why none of these awards have the word “artist” in them. Song of the Year, then, is given for the best…

It’s a countdown of the ten best episodes of the Dan Harmon era of Community. You can read the post over at CharacterGrades.com. Here’s an excerpt from the top ten: 9. “Introduction…
Not too long ago, I visited, for the first time in my adult life, the great city of Philadelphia. I went there to see my good friend who I’ve known since 5 years old, and his lovely girlfriend. From my 22 hour stint in the city, I found that while Philly is admittedly dirty, as…
Hey guys! After a vacation and some technical difficulties, we’re back! I was going to continue with my countdown this post, but I feel it’s necessary to discuss the recent events involving Jerry “The King” Lawler. As many of you may know, Lawler suffered a heart attack during a live broadcast of RAW in Montreal…
