A Review for a Movie I Haven't Seen

Cross-posted from the Reel.
I haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. But I don't think I need to. For one thing, every review has said it's awful. Worse than the second one. Let's go back in time…
It's 2003 and, being a person who is a fan of Johnny Depp, (when I was [...]

More Fun Than Having a Real Baby…

…Is using the promotional website for the upcoming Judd Apatow movie, Knocked Up called The Babymaker. Here is the result of my playing god, whom I have dubbed Galen Tyrol Baxter Brugos. It's a boy:

He would be kind of cute if he had less blotchy skin and full eyebrows. Oh well. I guess [...]

Meme Time

60 old questions, new questions and strangely worded questions.
Who was your first prom date?
N/A.
Who was your first roommate?

A Vampire With a Soul?!

Joss Whedon must be turning in his gravy over learning about the “new” CBS show “Moonlight” that will debut this fall about a goddamned VAMPIRE DETECTIVE.

Hindsight is Way More Fun

Happy May Day. They finally removed the blood-soaked rag from the sidewalk outside my office building!
