I Bring Nothing to the Table

  • What I’ve Been Doing 24 Oct 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Movies 50/50 – What a great movie. It was funny and emotional at all the right times. After seeing it I just wanted to go home and hug my roommate (like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character, she got cancer at a young age). I’ve seen her in a grand total of four movies now, but I love […]

    Movies Bran Nue Dae – Disappointingly mediocre. I was expecting something interesting from a musical about aboriginal life in Australia, but it just wasn’t there. Uneven pacing, bland characters, and, worst of all, completely forgettable music. That’s the one thing you have to do right in a musical! TV How I Met Your Mother – […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 10 October 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Movies Everything Must Go – Rebecca Hall is superb. I first saw her in The Prestige and I instantly fell in love with her acting. She’s a good understated and expressive actor. Will Ferrell in a drama is pretty neat too. He really shows a lot of range on this and I’d like to see […]

  • October Movie Preview [FB/ER]

    Wow, there is really nothing interesting coming out in October. That’s depressing. At least Matt Rorie and Ryan Davis are entertaining in showing us how October is going to be a cinema vacuum. EDIT: Ides of March is perhaps the only movie of the bunch that I’d see…I think. Who knows what the girlfriend will […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 3 Oct 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Movies Hesher – When I saw the trailer for this Joseph Gordon-Levitt movie I thought it would be a weird character study. I was pretty much right about that, but it’s simultaneously weirder and crasser than you’d think without really being comedic. Hesher is a truly bizarre character, the likes of which I’ve never seen […]

  • The Films of Ridley Scott [ER/FB]

    Yet another great video by Kees van Dijkhuizen. Scott’s filmography is almost too robust for such a short video, but this is definitely a great montage nonetheless

  • What I’ve Been Doing 26 Sept 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It’s fitting that I watched a movie about baseball considering how much baseball I also watched this weekend. Had to watch to support the Rays. They’ve got three games to make up a one game deficit. You can do it, Tampa Bay! Movies Moneyball – Not too bad at all. We’re not talking “the best […]

  • The Subtle Art of Deconstruction [FB/GO/BT]

    Colonel: Raiden, turn the game console off right now. Raiden: What did you say? Colonel: The mission is a failure. Cut the power right now. Raiden: What’s wrong with you? Colonel: Don’t worry, it’s a game. It’s a game just like usual. Rosemary: You’ll ruin your eyes playing so close to the TV. Raiden: What […]

  • On Qwikster and Tone Deaf Moves [Mr.D/FB/IB]

    I understand the reasons for Netflix spinning off its DVD business as a discrete and separate entity. They recognize a sinking ship when they see one and, theoretically, this would enable them to eliminate tons of overhead (buildings, postage, the employees who check and stuff discs, etc.) increasing their profit margin for the foreseeable future. […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 19 Sept 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It may look like I’m insulting Gears, but I’m really not. That’s legitimately the closest those guys come to eloquence most games. They’re fantastic games, but their stories are fundamentally idiotic. Movies Thor – I’m pretty sure that complaining about blatant product placement in a movie was last interesting five years ago, but I found […]
