Dorkgasm Gonzo Is God

            With procedural dramas all the rage on television these days, it is no wonder that someone in Hollywood would want to bring that success to the silver screen. Hire some amazingly attractive actresses, get Al Pacino to star in it, and you should have cinema gold, right? 88 Minutes, however, proves that there is a flaw in this logic, one that someone should really have thought of before going into production.

            When I first picked up Grotesque from my local library, I had no clue that I even wanted it. Truly, my wife decided that it looked like something I would like to read. I had never heard of the author, and by reading the dust jacket I thought that I was in for a slightly more feminist retread of any of the Ringu series by Koji Suzuki. As usual, if I would just calm down a little bit and think, I would not have these botched first impressions. This book is about jealousy, power, sexuality, and cultural differences. This review is about misconceptions and how they almost forced me to stop reading one of the most satisfying books I have read in a long time.

Sorry we took the week off without warning, but between school and life, something had to give. Very soon I should have the Jim Butcher interview up for your viewing pleasure, as well as bits from the audience Q&A he did afterward! Also, reviews from me, Ken and Cheryl, and maybe a few surprises along the way!

The petition has now reached 203,000 signatures.
Future updates to come.
Now, come on people, can someone start a petition to end the careers of anyone and everyone with the creation of "meet the spartans"? Seriously, Uwe's movies may suck some ass, but they've never made any money, yet another "(something) movie" will come out soon, and will undeniably make enough money to warrant another one, and undeniably suck 100 times harder than anything Uwe ever did.
Just my thoughts...

Alright, I loved postal as much as the next guy (if that next guy actually saw it, but holy fuckin crap, there is an online petition to stop Uwe Boll from ever making a film again. He's gone on record stating that if over 1 million people sign this petition, he'll give up.
So make your voice heard. Whether you love him (cough cough Ken cough) or hate him, (cough cough everyone Cough COUGH) this could be the end of Dr. Boll's film making career.
The petition is already at nearly 138,000 signatures.

Today it was discovered that Charlton Heston, that God among men, had died at his Beverly Hills home on Saturday evening. He was 84 years old.

            Back in 2004, there was a film from Thailand set loose upon an unsuspecting populace. The film dealt with the world of “spirit photography”, and what it could actually be. Then, in 2008, the American public got a tepid remake of the film that originally shocked audiences worldwide, and there was no rejoicing. Even fans of Joshua Jackson were saddened. However, thanks go to the wonderful folks from Tartan Video for their “Asia Extreme” series, which finally brought the much-heralded original to American shores. Now, maybe the rest of us can see what all of the fuss was about, eh?

            Stop the presses! Cary Grant has returned from the grave, only to possess George Clooney’s body and resume his acting career. His latest effort, Leatherheads, proves that the bygone star hasn’t lost his taste for classy comedy or his knack for the perfectly delivered punch line.
