After a brief hiatus for a Florida vacation, here’s what’s coming out in Brooklyn and Manhattan this weekend.
Sex and the City
The Plot: Four women have a lot of sex in an urban area.
Is it worth eleven dollars?: If you’re me, no. If you’re you, maybe. You pretty much know if you want to see this [...]

Denise Richards: It’s Complicated

on’t Judge Me:
Last night I watched the series premiere of Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.

Let me just say, it is not complicated. At all. It’s about as complicated as a bowl of sand. (Uhh, just roll with it.)  Now, before you ask me why I wasted a half hour of my life [...]

Fantasy Bar Crawl: South Slope

About 80% of Brooklyn Skeptic is currently chilling in paradise:

This is our back yard.
But even as the sun caresses our pallid blogger-faces and the sea breeze flows across keyboards, our hearts remain nestled in Brooklyn’s bosom. So, to ease my sunshine-induced night terrors, I’ve been creating Fantasy Bar Crawls. If I could chose any five [...]

The Imaginary Primary

It started about a month ago. After the creeping onset of panic infected the Hillary campaign and supporters. Slowly losing both the pledged delegate vote, popular vote, and the super delegate vote…some began making outlandish claims of mythological primary where Hillary is in fact winning.

I’ve been to this before, and it’s quite nice, but also kind of a pain in the ass. If you want to do this, definitely get there early and bring a [...]

Park Slope Knows Where You Live

It’s been hard to avoid hearing about Park Slope in the news recently. The New York Times printed an article in the weekend Style section that addressed some of the neighborhood ire. Between a Sex and the City-style television show that is set to take place in Park Slope to a group of “stroller nazis” [...]

Brooklyn Skep-Pics – The Beginning

Welcome to Brooklyn Skeptic’s newest (god-willing) weekly photoblogging extravaganza.

Kentile Floors Sign from 9th Street – Gowanus

Right now we are tentatively calling this “Brooklyn Skep-Pics”. Now I say tentatively because I’m open to ideas and because I worry about misleading droves of the good natured “skep” enthusiasts in Brooklyn. There’s a group of people you don’t [...]

Bush’s Present for Israel

This has been reported much more frequently than when I started writing this…so let’s at least recap.
Bush had a delightful day yesterday. He decided that, after pretty much forgetting about Israel for seven years he should pay them a second visit. Maybe wish them a happy birthday. And reminisce over the days of the Nazis….
