Review: Iron Man
I had pretty high hopes going into this movie, originally I was skeptical of Robert Downey for the part but the trailers immediately reversed my opinion and I went from eh to pretty psyched about it. And it doesn’t disappoint. The executive summary is I give it a 9, maybe just under a 9 on [...]
An awesome Star Wars fan flick
Found this on Michael’s blog and it’s pretty awesome. It’s probably about twice as long as it should be, but it’s pretty good - they got some mad light saber effects in there and it’s cool to see them thinking outside the box with how to play with sabers and the force. Good times. I [...]
Terminator, Turing and AI
So I thought the second to last episode of the Sarah Connor Chronicles was really excellent, the scene were she walks out of the apartment with the two Russians not only was some of the best TV I’ve seen recently but it retroactively made the series great by contextualizing Cameron’s attempts to “humanize” herself. (Compare [...]
Sarah Connor - will it… be back??
So the finale. To me it was a mixed bag, I was all iffy pretty much through the whole first half - a throwback to the boring early episodes. I think this was largely because it had mom and son on screen most of the time. They just aren’t good at the show, it seems [...]
Under the Tusken Sun. Nice.
This has been making the rounds, it’s pretty awesome. Who knew that Tusken raider ladies were so hot! But the very, very best part of the video is the ending. Oh. Good times.
Ok, I like the Sarah Connor Chronicles
UPDATE: Check out the interview with Summer at the A.V.Club. (via)
Well, this last episode of Terminator sealed the deal for me. I like the show, two in a row of good stories and good acting and good times. This episode continues my theory that Summer Glau and Brian Austin Green are what make the show [...]
Whedon, Glau & Terminator
A li’l smörgÃ¥sbord of news bytes. First up is this interview with the Whedon. Not the most comprehensive, a little bit on Dollhouse - where he suggests that it’s moral greyness may anger some of his fans (given his usual good v. evil stance) - I dunno about you, but I’m looking forward to it! [...]
The Nymphos of Rocky Flats
Heh, check out the Felix Gomez books by Maria Acevedo, of which The Nymphos of Rocky Flats is but the first. A series about a hard-boiled vampire detective with titles like X-Rated Bloodsuckers and The Undead Kama Sutra?? What more does a growing boy need? Well, if you were thinking a stop motion lego trailer [...]
Breakfast Links: Akira, Unflattering Pictures & Shadow Unit
You know, when I first read that they (and by they I mean Hollywood) were thinking of remaking Akira into a live action movie, I was skeptical, but willing to give it a shot. I didn’t know who Ruairi Robinson was, but hey, that doesn’t mean anything. Then Ben hooked me up with a more [...]

Review: Knight Rider
Did you actually watch this? I admit, that I randomly discovered it about 30 minutes in and about 10 minutes after that was kinda watching it and kinda working on the computer. Its case was not helped by commercial breaks every 5 minutes.
But for real. This was awful. Unrelentingly awful. Were there any 2 [...]
