On Friday, I Hate The Contender

Making “reality” feel like a crappy movie.
I like MMA.  I like Muy Thai.  I love the UFC/Spike series “Ultimate Fighter”. So you’d think I’d like the new version of “The Contender,” (called “The Contender Asia”) which features Muy Thai fighters instead of traditional boxers like the original, horrible Sylvester Stallone produced and hosted version of [...]

On Thursday, I Love The Loud Family

The band, that is.  And that goes for Mitch Easter, too.
I bitch a lot. So today I’m going to spread the love and tell you about a record.  A Loud Family record. The first Loud Family record: “Birds and Plants and Rocks and Things.” The Loud Family is (or was anyway - this record was [...]

On Tuesday, I’m Underwhelmed By Batman

The Dark Knight: Overrated (Excepting Heath Ledger)
Caught the new Batman movie this afternoon with my son. Despite liking the hell out of Batman Begins, I found The Dark Knight pretty underwhelming.  The action was ok I suppose, but the fight scenes were edited so tightly as to be kind of hard to follow.  Christian Bale was [...]

The Two Coreys Out-Corey Themselves

Di Dip Dippy Doody I love you.
I don’t even know where to begin.  I was thinking about working up some sort of lame excuse explaining why I watched The Two Coreys again; maybe something about keeping up with pop culture, or looking for easy pickings for a blog post.  But the truth is that the [...]

Hurl! Misses The Bowl

G4’s New Show Doesn’t Make Me Gag.
I didn’t think that I had set my expectations too high.  I didn’t expect Hurl! to be well written or well shot, I didn’t expect to be drawn into a dramatic story arc that would keep me coming back every week, I didn’t expect to learn anything.  But with [...]

Wii Got Rock Band. It Rocks

The most fun possible while looking like a penis.
I bought the game Rock Band for the Wii this past weekend. Unless you live in a rabbit hutch you probably have an inkling of what this game is, or at least what sort of game it is. The genre took off with Guitar Hero, which always [...]

The Moment Of Truth: A Brief Translation

I couldn’t resist watching that horrible Moment of Truth show last night, and I’m glad I didn’t (resist that is.) If you haven’t seen it, this is the show where they take soulless money grubbing fucks that are willing to hurt the people closest to them in exchange for cash, hook them up to a [...]

Last Comic Standing Cups My Sack

Once again I find myself watching a show that I hate so much it makes me angry. I’ve known Last Comic Standing is an abomination since the first time I watched it a few years ago when I was suckered in and watched a few episodes thinking they might have, oh I don’t know, funny [...]
