Let’s Check in With Our Old Friend Michael Bay, Shall We?

Posted in brooklyn, tagged , , , on December 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Michael Bay must be super busy being the most awesomest film producer/director of our time. Not only has the multi-MTV Movie Awards Winner continued his time honored tradition of remaking horror films (Texas Chainsaw, The Hitcher, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street) thus making the originals look like works of genius, but he’s also [...]

Hugh Jackman is Hosting the Oscars? Seriously?

Posted in brooklyn, tagged , , , , on December 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Uh….really? I know that they’re trying to make the Oscars more “hip” and have said that they’ll be making a lot of changes, but really? Huh. Interesting. I mean, I don’t really have anything against the guy, but it seems like such a random choice. I know he’s an actor, but, well, there are plenty [...]

Golden Globe Nominations!

Posted in brooklyn, tagged , on December 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I take back the above exclamation point. There is nothing exciting about the Golden Globes, I just thought feigned excitement might make you more inclined to read this post. And here you are. Sucker.
Yes, the Golden Globe nominations were announced today. The Golden Globes kind of act as Oscar’s little brother. But he’s a pigeon-toed, hyperactive little [...]

Try Zomething Different. Drink Zima.

Posted in brooklyn, tagged , , on December 9, 2008 | 5 Comments »

MillerCoors finally decided to discontinue 1990s drink phenomenon, Zima, pulling the fruity alcoholic beverage off shelves across America. For good. ::Sobs:: Actually, I’ve never tried Zima, since I was about 10 during its peak. But I remember hearing jokes about the product and knowing that, even at age 10, no one should [...]

Vanity Fair blogger, Jim Windolf, wrote a blog post titled “Blog Stuff I’m Sick Of” where he listed his top ten blog annoyances:

The Five Worst Movies of 2008

Posted in brooklyn, tagged , , , , , on December 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »

While I will be waiting until the end of the year or January to create a Best of 2008 list, I feel pretty confident that I am not going to see movies worse than these in the next month (G-d willing). Just to be clear, there were plenty of movies I did not see over [...]

Does this Vanishing Point Make My Ass Look Fat?

Posted in brooklyn on December 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

October 15, 1992, the universally known and feared School Picture Day.  Somehow your bangs know and perversely exploit this, and in an affront to your dignity and understanding of gravity, are vertically frozen, making you look like Stephanie Tanner parked in front of a jet engine.  You are planted under the bed, screaming that you would rather have [...]

Keeping Up with the Kardashians

Posted in brooklyn, tagged , , , , on December 1, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I caught an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I think E! was running a marathon or something. Have you seen this show? I mean, I have. But I’m assuming your television standards are higher than mine. Since I’ll pretty much watch anything. But I stopped watching KUWTK after its series premiere because it [...]
