Easily the funniest thing I’ve seen all week
One of the joys about working where I do (and with layoffs constantly looming, there are less and less of them) is that I’m surrounded by a pretty good set of geeks who know what I like and send me cool things in the e-mail. The above image, apparently created by someone named Evan Shaner, was sent …
Remember when Eddie was funny?
I know it can be hard to do. And I’m not talking about the family-friendly, super-silly funny of “Daddy Day Camp” or “Dave” (actually, I can’t confirm or deny that there was anything funny about either of those, since I didn’t bother to watch them.)I’m talking about really funny. impolite funny. “Ra…
The definitive word about “Watchmen”? And a thankfully foul trip to “Adventureland”
Actually, the funniest thing I could find out there is possible proof that even Eliza Dushku knows that Joss Whedon’s thoroughly contrived “Dollhouse” is gonna end soon, and perhaps very soon.Making plans for what she will do next, Dushku has acquired the rights to the life story (however one actual…
When Michel Gondry met … “The Green Hornet”?

The opening three minutes of “Watchmen”? Perhaps …

Why does Oscar hate music so much?
Actually, the big news about music that is that HBO has hired John Sayles to write and I would assume at least partly direct “Scar,” an upcoming series about the childhood of Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis. Even though Sayles’ last foray into music, the blues-tinged “Honeydripper,” was just a …
“The Wrestler” has spirit, and yes I am going to post every separate “Watchmen” clip I can find
Actually, before I mention anything about last night’s “Spirit” awards, it may unfortunately be instance to sound the death knell for Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse.”And, given what we’ve seen so far in the first two episodes I can’t say I’m terribly surprised at these rather dismal numbers. The show’s ba…
