Going down into the dark places to hunt bugs? Sounds like a plan to me. First off I can review Episode 6 (it’s on my PSP and everything) I just need to get around to it… so I better get a fire under myself and review. After two episodes the droid factories on Gnosis have fallen, but it was a heavy war and it looks like (oh crap) Ahsoka’s going to sit this episode out… now I really have to watch the last episode with her and her new galpal. Anyway the battle was rather costly but it’s not over yet as the former commander of the Droid factory has gone to…

The Horror of Hype
20 Nov 2009 | 3:54 amThe many faces of cinematic overexposure and how to handle a film on its own terms. Genre fans tend to feel a little unpatrioritc pledging allegiance to the same mass-produced flag saluted by 80% of the general public. We’re far more comfortable digging our way through dusty, sometimes crusty DVDs in questionable basement or neon lit video stores than we are sitting amongst the Friday night crowd at the week’s big release. It’s no wonder then that movies like Paranormal Activity throw some of us for a loop. How, you ask, could I possibly enjoy the same film that my coworker… -
Planet 51
20 Nov 2009 | 3:54 amKids will enjoy the familiar but zany “Planet 51.” My dad had an old saying for someone who was out of place: “They’re like a brown shoe at a black tie convention,” he’d say. The new animated movie Planet 51 is for those brown shoes who feel a little out of place. From the writer of the Shrek films, Planet 51 has serviceable CG animation, a familiar, predictable feel to it and is slow out of the gate, but there are enough energetic, witty moments near the end to keep the kids and maybe even their parents interested for 90 minutes. The film follows a human… -
New Moon
20 Nov 2009 | 3:54 amThe second installment of the Twilight Saga – New Moon– is upon us and fans (as well as their dates) will be glad to know that it is a better film than its predecessor in every way. New Moon picks up directly where the first story left off. For those that have not seen the film, this is not the place to start. It is imperative that you read or see Twilight as you will be quickly lost in Bella’s world of vampires. For those that have read the second novel, there is no need to give a plot summary as this movie is a direct port of the novel by Stephanie Meyer. -
UFO Ultramaiden valkyrie and Welcome to the N-H-K

Kazuto and his sister Rika are running their late grandfathers bathhouse while going to school. Some time back a Valkyrie from outer space, named Valkyrie, crashed into the bathhouse. Kazuto almost died from the crash landing but Valkyrie saved him by giving him part of her soul. The outcome is that Valkyrie transforms into her younger self. She can only become her adult form when she kisses Kazuto and she seems to only do that when she wants to protect him. This DVD set includes OVA…

Soundtrack Saturday: “Home for the Holidays”
21 Nov 2009 | 12:00 amAnd here we have our third — and final — course of the Soundtrack Saturday Dysfunctional Family Thanksgiving. I decided to end our celebration of family, food, and fighting on a lighter note, so I give you one of my favorite movies of all time, Home for the Holidays (1995). I first saw it during my freshman year of college on the recommendation of a good friend who knew I had a thing for Robert Downey Jr. I absolutely loved it. After acquiring it on videocassette, I started a tradition of watching it at least three times a week every holiday season starting on November 1, a… -

For filmgoers, a big fat plate of depression, as the movies grim up, some chasing Oscars and prestige, others going for our wallets, and all of them leaving us in serious need of candy canes and eggnog. This season’s champ is clearly the feel-good urban horror movie Precious. It leaves no stone unturned to flatten us. A partial checklist of miseries: Poverty. Illiteracy. Morbid obesity.

How Bad Can It Be?: “Ripley’s Believe It or Not: Seeing Is Believing”
20 Nov 2009 | 9:30 amMuch (though by no means all) of the stuff I talk about in this column comes to me free for review, often well in advance of the street release date. That means there are a lot of unfamiliar CDs and books and DVDs scattered around my workplace; it also means we get a lot of mail. My kids thought that part was pretty exciting, when I first took the gig — until they got a load of the actual contents of most of those packages. “Hey, guys, who wants to watch this Rob Thomas DVD with Dad?” is kind of a non-starter, when weighing the options for a rainy Thursday afternoon.

Nicholas Flamel books bought up again
20 Nov 2009 | 3:09 amProducer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has nabbed the rights to book series The Secrets Of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel. Given that he's the man who helped launch the Harry Potter franchise, it's not surprising that the producer would want to try and find another, similar set of tomes to adapt. And Michael Scott's planned six-part series would seem to be the perfect case. The novels follow 15-year-old twins Sophie and Josh as they travel across several continents with the titular alchemist. The series' Potter-like potential was spotted by New Line three years ago, where it was set up as a possible… -
Anne Hathaway for Spider-Man 4?

The way things are going, just about every actress will have been linked to the latest Spidey franchise outing by the time the thing actually starts shooting. We've been through Romola Garai, Rachel McAdams and, even more recently, Julia Stiles (below), who was reported to have met the film's casting team. And now Deadline Hollywood's Nikki Finke is reporting that Anne Hathaway has been approached for a starring role, but isn't replacing Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. So the next possible black cat contender steps into… -
Eddie Murphy feeling Fluffy?

Though it sounds like a typical Murphy-flavoured family comedy, it's apparently an R-rated outing pitched by writers Sam Pitman and Adam Cole-Kelly which will chronicle a road trip through New York for talking critters. And according to the Risky Business Blog, it's got a vein of Trading Places-style social satire running through it too. So while he's ditching edgier fare like the Richard Pryor biopic, could this be his way of sneakily… -
Sam Worthington goes back to the future
20 Nov 2009 | 12:53 amAvatar's Sam Worthington is clearly not done with science fiction - he's attached to star in near-future tale The Last Days Of American Crime. The Minority Report-esque plot focuses on the US government's plan to covertly broadcast a signal that would make it impossible for anyone to commit a crime. It's been adapted from Rick Remender's comic book, which is ready to hit the shops as a miniseries next month. There's no word on who might direct the movie yet, but if Duncan Jones wasn't already busy on Source Code and trying to get Mute made, he'd have our vote. Or maybe they could convince…

Advance Review: Them Crooked Vultures (Self-Titled)
20 Nov 2009 | 6:25 amFresh off the timely announcement that the Foo Fighters are taking an indefinite hiatus, Dave Grohl is returning to a familiar spot behind the drum kit with the newest supergroup on the rock scene, Them Crooked Vultures. The unsurprising duo of Grohl on drums and Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has teamed up with the more unlikely addition of Led Zeppelin bass player/rock god John Paul Jones for what amounts to a curious but fitting musical mash-up, with wet-dream-inducing potential. -
Advance Script Review: The Highlander Remake - There Can Be Only One, and This Ain’t It!
20 Nov 2009 | 1:00 amIn this SPOILER FILLED review, we lament over the script intended to reboot the Highlander franchise.Highlander was a solid fantasy/action film released in 1986 that told the tale of Conner MacLeod (played by Christopher Lambert), a Scotsman born in the year 1518 "in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel," who violently discovers that he is a member of a group of immortals who move silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives until the time of The Gathering, when the few who remain will battle to the last, each hoping to win The Prize.

Advance Script Review: The Movie-Goer’s New Nightmare, or Yet Another F*cking Remake

A chance for some of your favorite actors/directors to let you see a beloved piece from an alternate viewpoint, or a cynical cash-grab by studios too chickenshit to try anything new? -

Bioware's return to the high fantasy RPG will consume your personal life.Bioware has a rich tradition of crafting high quality role playing games (RPGs). Beginning with the Baldur's Gate series and later with the Neverwinter Nights games, Bioware set the standard for trading the pen and paper of D&D gaming in for a PC and mouse. After transitioning from elves and spells to wookies and the Force, and creating one of the best Star Wars video games ever in Knights of the Old Republic, Bioware stayed in the realm of science…

Why I Started Painting Again - Digital Art vs. "Real World" Art
18 Nov 2009 | 5:00 pm13 reasons why I started to paint the old fashioned way again:Fifty years ago I knew I wanted to be an artist and my parents knew it too. If I didn't get my box of 64 Crayola Crayons for Christmas they were greeted with a crestfallen little artist in the making. No matter what else they might have given me or whatever Santa might have dragged down the chimney to stuff into my stocking if I didn't get my crayons it just wasn't Christmas!I've spent all of my life with some form of art utensil in my hand, from crayons to pencils to brushes, and I have lived my life creating things with my… -

STUCK IN THE SIXTIES - Old Hippies Don't Pass Away, They Tye Die

You know him, you've seen Harold or someone like him while you were out and about. If you notice him at all your first thought is probably, "wow, still stoned after all these years" or "OMG! Look at that hippie - I thought they were all dead!"Harold is one of those poor, time challenged people who pine for "the good old days".

1975 Was a Very Sunshine Year - Doris Day, John Denver and a Sunshine Medley
29 Oct 2009 | 2:26 pmThis week's Old School Friday is Songs that Make Me Smile. I came across this clip from The Doris Day Show from 1975 - it's a duet between Doris Day and John Denver.I know a lot of people never cared for John Denver but there was something about his music that I always loved - I miss him and his music. Pairing John Denver with Doris Day is almost a "Sunshine" overload but this medley of Sunshine songs does bring a smile to your lips - if only at the end when you watch those two skinny little tooshies dance away from the camera in a happy little jig.The set and clothing are predictably yellow,… -

Star Trek out on dvd/blu-ray!
18 Nov 2009 | 1:14 amJust a small reminder that JJ Abram’s STAR TREK is now available on dvd or blu-ray. Yeah, the story is mostly about how Kirk (Chris Pine) develops his bromance with Spock (Zachary Quinto). But you also get to see John Cho kick some Romulan butt as Sulu! I already own the blu-ray and I can tell first hand that the picture and sound quality is pretty darn good. And it’s loaded with extras that any Trekker or non-Trekker can enjoy. Especially insightful is the decision to cast John Cho, who is Korean, in the role of Sulu when it was previously played by Japanese American… -
Michelle Wie wins first LPGA tournament
18 Nov 2009 | 12:15 amMichelle Wie has finally won an LPGA tournament with her victory at LPGA’s Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico. A golf phenom at the tender age of 13 back in 2003 who was known for her icy cold game face, Michelle has grown into a determined young woman who has demonstrated some unexpected passion for the game this year. Let’s hope this marks the beginning of a solid career in a sport that is desperately in need of a superstar player like a Tiger Woods. Congrats Michelle! Source: golf.com -
Manny Pacquiao defeats Cotto in 12th round
15 Nov 2009 | 12:04 amCongrats to Manny Pacquiao for his tremendous win over Miguel Cotto. The fight was stopped by the referee during the 12th round as Manny was about to unleash another set of devastating combos on Cotto. Cotto managed to show his power early in the fight, but Manny took over after inflicting his second knock down against Cotto during the 4th round. From then on Manny was just too fast and too tough for Cotto. The fight demonstrated that not only can Manny still fight with great speed, power and accuracy at welterweight, he also has a good chin that can take a full power shot from a… -
“LIKE A G6″ Far East Movement ft The Cataracs and Dev
13 Nov 2009 | 8:04 pmFar East Movement has been having one heck of a summer with their break out single “Girls on the Dance Floor” which has been getting some major air play on radio stations around the country. I’m capping off the week with a new song from them called “Like a G6″. It’s got a pretty sick beat and an infectious chorus and it seems like a song that demands to be played loud at a local club near you. Enjoy! Have a great weekend everybody!

Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” Is Your New “Clubbing in Space” Soundtrack
20 Nov 2009 | 3:15 pmOnly moments ago, a co-worker stopped by my office with a curious looking jewelcase atop a velveteen cushion. Gently, I lifted the object off of it’s pillowy home to discover that it was an advanced copy of Adam Lambert’s debut CD, “For Your Entertainment.” My reaction: There it was, in all its glory: Adam’s cocked head, the fingerless lambskin gloved hand grazing his buttery cheek, the gaze that says (whispered) “Put me in your CD player and listen to me gurl.” And so I did. A dramatic reenactment of my opening of the CD: Before I even popped the CD… -

Branded Microcast Episode 20, Dudikoff!
16 Nov 2009 | 2:00 amWow, two double-stuffed episodes in a row. Weird. At first I was struggling a little to get these up to 10 minutes, now I'm trying my best to keep them below 20 minutes. Micropodcasting indeed. Anyway, in episode 20 I spend some time discussing the 1993 action TV series Cobraâ I also talk about the show's prolific creator Stephen J. Cannell, the new FCC rules regarding "payments" for reviewing, the budget Millcreek DVD release of this series, and the soft-spoken, face-kicking Michael Dudikoff! -
Branded Microcast Episode 19, You'll believe Richard Pryor can fly...
12 Nov 2009 | 2:00 amAs promised in yesterday's Peel Here column, today's microcast is a double stuffed conversation/rant about Superman III. From the madcap romp of an openingâ âto the uncomfortably underachieving comedy of the usually much better Richard Pryorâ There are still a couple of good moments though, including my favorite Superman movie moment, dark Supes versus Clark Kent (even if it doesn't make any logical sense)â âand the seriously creepy Braniaic-like robot villain ladyâ -

11 Nov 2009 | 2:00 amPeel Here is back after the Halloween hiatus, and I've had some fun with the research for this installment. The wife and I recently decided it was past time for a culling of our DVD collection as we amassed an insane amount of movies and TV box-sets. Mind you they were all purchased on the cheap as one of my hobbies is shopping around for bargain DVDs, but after awhile these things start to take up too much space and you find yourself wondering if you really need to own every comic book film ever produced, or those pesky Star Wars prequels. Well, one of the things that I'd… -

I do have a Peel Here that I want to get to this week though, so look for that later on. Anyway, in this episode of the Branded Microcast I ramble on about the Pryde of the X-Men cartoon for a bitâ If you're interested in watching this beauty of a one-shot cartoon, it's up on youtube in nice bite-sized chunks (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.)

People's sexiest men alive ... in the '80s

So who did People dub as the sexiest men alive in the '80s? I can give you half the list, since the magazine began the annual coronation in 1985 with none other than Mad Max! MEL GIBSON (1985): Remember when Mad Mel just made great movies? Beyond Thunderdome! Tequila Sunrise! Lethal Weapon! We even get teary at The Bounty. Still, Mel told People back in '85 he felt uneasy as a celebrity, saying,…

I'm proud to profess my love for the DS again this year: Happy Birthday Nintendo DS! -

Are We All Really "Team Zahara?"
30 Oct 2009 | 7:30 amIn the aftermath of Allison Samuels' controversial article, Zahara Jolie Pitt and the Politics of Uncombed Hair, Newsweek asked three bloggers, including yours truly, to write a response to the article and Samuels' rebuttal to the criticism. I gave my response the title Are We All Really "Team Zahara?" but I am fine with how Newsweek printed it: Nichelle Gainer: It's Time To Fully Embrace Natural Hair.

Yay or Nay: German Lingerie Commercial
26 Oct 2009 | 2:01 pmI'm not sure what to think about it. At first glance, I knew it wasn't an American commercial - and not only due to the model's bare-bottom in the opening shot. There is an elegance in this ad that you just don't find on our airwaves. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is "empowering" to women - but I am not offended by it either. Then again, I am not Muslim (did you know that there was a ban on women selling lingerie in Saudi Arabia?) Let me know what you think of this ad - especially the twist at the end. -

HEART THROB ALERT! Robert Pattinson ‘Remember Me” Trailer Will Make You Swoon (VIDEO)
20 Nov 2009 | 1:51 pmAre you ready to fall in love with Robert Pattinson all over again? Then check out the new trailer for “Remember Me.” I attended a 10:30am screening of “Twilight: New Moon” today, which was so bizarre considering I drank my morning coffee while watching a blockbuster film (not something I usually do). But it was the only time I could actually get a ticket for premiere day and I figured it would be better than battling the hordes of Twi-hards who are certain to be out in force tonight. During the previews, I saw the first trailer for Robert Pattinson’s next movie, “Remember Me,”… -
‘New Moon’ Premiere in New York City: Stars Hit Red Carpet in Style
20 Nov 2009 | 1:17 pmOn Thursday evening, Houston Street was transformed from New York City block to the Twilight Zone as police barricades filtered pedestrian traffic and suited men with earpieces roamed about the Landmark Sunshine Theater. “This is crazy,” said one photographer. “It’s like you’re going to meet the pope!” Of course, the crowds descended on Houston Street to catch a glimpse of the First Family of Vampire Cinema as they attended the NYC unveiling of “New Moon,” the second installment of the “Twilight” series. The D & G-sponsored Cinema Society… -
MORNING COFFEE: Victoria’s Secret Delivers Sexiest Show in Town; HEIDI KLUM Returns to Catwalk FIVE Weeks After Giving Birth
20 Nov 2009 | 6:52 amThe ladies of Victoria’s Secret put on a cheeky show… literally. Heidi Klum, who gave birth to her fourth child just five weeks ago, proved the biggest crowd pleaser at last night’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as she strutted down the catwalk in a purple corset covered with a half gown and tulle train. Appropriately so, Heidi Klum was more covered up than the rest of the Victoria’s Secret models, but the 36-year-old German model was supposed to be hosting the show when she made a surprise runway appearance to the delight of the audience. Klum, who gave birth to daughter Lou… -
THE END OF AN ERA: ‘Oprah Winfrey Show’ Will End in 2011
19 Nov 2009 | 4:18 pmOprah Winfrey will announce on her show Friday that “The Oprah Winfrey Show” will come to an end on Sept. 9, 2011, after 25 years, according to ABC’s Chicago affiliate, KABC. The announcement would put an end to weeks of speculation that Winfrey may leave daytime syndication and possibly move her show to OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, Winfrey’s joint venture with Discovery Communications. Harpo Prods., which produces the “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” could not be reached for comment Thursday. “We have the greatest respect for Oprah and wish her nothing… -
FASHIONISTA IN PARIS: The Reason French Women Don’t Get Fat? Fresh Food Markets
19 Nov 2009 | 3:27 pmAfter spending ten days in Paris it all made sense. Consuming an endless flow of crepes, cheese, baguettes and brioche it suddenly dawned on me. I had spent the entire week indulging in the finest French food without gaining an ounce. In fact, I lost weight while on holiday. It occurred to me that I had spent my vacation eating well, without obsessing over calories and carbs, while regularly indulging in macaroons and delectable French pastries that should never be avoided. How was it possible I didn’t return home twice my size? The fresh food markets must be the answer! I feel like…

Deeper Dish with Frances Sternhagen
20 Nov 2009 | 10:59 amIn 1979 my parents took me to see the film, Starting Over, starring Burt Reynolds as a recently divorced man torn between his new girlfriend (Jill Clayburgh) and his ex-wife (Candice Bergen). I still adore this movie today, but I'm especially fond of it for introducing me to the wonderful Frances Sternhagen, who plays Burt's sister-in-law. She and her onscreen husband, Charles Durning, make a delightful couple and steal every scene they are in. And ever since the film, I've been a fan of Frannie's.The actress made her Broadway debut in 1955 as Miss T. Muse in The Skin of Our Teeth, and she… -

Of 'Glee' I Sing: The Endless Love of Suzy Pepper
19 Nov 2009 | 3:55 pmDespite the absence of Jane Lynch's Sue Sylvester, I really enjoyed last night's Glee. So many characters got a chance to shine in at least one scene--and I even liked Will's wife, Terri, who used Rachel's crush on her husband to get the girl to clean their bathroom. I thought it was funny. Here's what else I loved the most--and the least--about the show's tenth episode, "Ballad". Favorite character: Although Kurt and Will were both terrific, I have to go with Rachel this week. Lea Michele is always fabulous every week, but she was especially delightful while mooning over Will. And I could… -
V: Hot Priests Make Me Horny
19 Nov 2009 | 9:47 amIt's true. They do. There's just something about a gorgeous guy dressed in black with a little white collar around his neck that gives me goose bumps -- and makes me want to rip off all his clothes. And now that I've shared that personal fantasy, let's move on to ABC's new science-fiction drama, V, which features the yummy Joel Gretsch as Father Jack Landry. I could eat him with a spoon.I never watched the original V, which aired on NBC as two mini-series and a 1984-85 TV series, but I do fondly remember hunky actor Mark Singer, who played the lead (he also starred as a stripper in the 1981… -

Lippi Selk Bag & Musuc Bag: The Future of Sleepovers
19 Nov 2009 | 5:21 pmNow, I was never a huge fan of sleepovers when I was a kid(as if I’m an adult now), but these would have been so ill when I was growing up. If I ever come back east, I making these the new jump off every where I go. The Snuggie is wack…the Selk is Not Drugs. Tell me that's not dope, and I'll tell you that you're blind. It’s basically just a sleeping bag jumpsuit. Say that with me now: a-sleeping-bag-jumpsuit. I wouldn’t even wear this to a sleepover. I’d wear this in Brooklyn on a really cold evening….and get my ass jumped. One. -

This particular quarrel we had recently, just happened to be complimented by something I found not too long afterwards. This is the story. Wale’s album came out a week ago and on opposite sides of the America, Williams and I were bumpin it. At the same time, I had recently come across Royce Da 5′ 9″ ’s new album Street Hop, and was lovin it as well. In the…

The Vatican Finds Twilight a ‘Deviant Moral Vacuum’
21 Nov 2009 | 7:36 amHey Vatican, what’s so wrong with wet shirtless blood sucking teenagers? We are all aware that Google Search was going completely under before the introduction of the oiled up gym tweaked 17 year old known as Taylor Lautner. One Word: YUM! Apparently when it comes to Robert Pattinson and The Holy Father there is no love lost as Harry Potter was also publicly condemned. And since the chronically bored Kristen Stewart would throw a whinge fit if she were excluded from a Parcbench commentary all we can say is: ‘Rather watch you have an asthmatic episode via Panic Room, Boo.’… -

UC Students Should Demand Full Disclosure
20 Nov 2009 | 10:21 amYesterday, I published an article on the University of California protests and why California Should Put Students First. The vote to increase student fees has now passed. This is Part II in my series. The homepage of the University of California declares: “The 10 campuses of the University of California open their doors to all who work hard and dream big. Through its teaching, research and public service, UC drives California’s economy and leads the world in new directions.” This is clearly dishonest. On the contrary, the UC Board of Regents’ decision to increase student fees 32%… -

Still, wouldn’t it be a fresh concept to just skip with the formalities and allow Skinny O to grant some sort of useless but dangerous position of power to the woman who single handedly fed him the female vote? The female vote where domesticated despair, pill popping and carbon emission…

Katy Abram: Why We fight
20 Nov 2009 | 7:20 amAfter standing up at a health care town hall in August and challenging Republicrat Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, stay-at-home mom Katy Abram took a lot of heat from the Left (and even some left-leaning independents) questioning her motives. As she continues to fight for her beliefs by speaking to various conservative organizations such as the Tea Party Express in Orlando, Fla., the Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC, the 9/12 Rally in Lebanon, Pa. and others, Abram continues to provide inspiration for other conservative activists. She also continues to attract criticism from… -
Holder Gambles With 9/11 Justice
18 Nov 2009 | 8:08 amLet's not kid ourselves. Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to return five 9/11 terror suspects to New York City to stand trial in civilian court, rather than in military commissions, was undoubtedly made with the blessing of President Barack Obama. By way of deduction, this decision has little to do with furthering the interests of justice. If that were the case, neither Holder nor Obama would have put the cases in such dire jeopardy. Holder points to the success the Department of Justice has had in prosecuting previous terror cases in civilian courts. He points to the convictions of… -
Oprah Winfrey Going Rogue With Sarah Palin
16 Nov 2009 | 3:30 amSarah Palin is Going Rogue in a big way. The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is kicking off a whirlwind publicity tour today with an interview on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Surprised? Don't be. Despite the magnanimous talk show host's very public diss of Palin last year, the two have apparently teamed up to sell some books and raise some ratings. Palin can't be blamed for seizing the opportunity to appear on Winfrey's wildly popular TV show, nor for allowing her book to be included as an official "Oprah's Book Club" selection. Such a stamp of approval will… -
Shouldn't Hasan Be Charged With Hate Crimes?
13 Nov 2009 | 9:57 amLate last month, President Barack Obama gleefully signed his name to a defense bill Congress passed because it had no choice. The bill contained an expansion of US hate crimes laws. It's no secret that conservatives generally oppose hate crimes laws, holding the belief that all hate-motivated crimes should be punished equally, regardless of the victim's sexual identity, religious preference or nationality. Nevertheless, conservatives must abide by the law as it's written. So, here's what I want to know: if is determined that Nidal Hasan allegedly committed his crimes out of hatred for any… -
For the Senate, a Sacrifice for a Sacrifice
11 Nov 2009 | 3:18 amLet's make this abundantly clear from the get-go: America should support its troops both on and off the battlefield, and it should keep its commitment to its injured veterans for the rest of their lives. Senate Democrats are using Veterans Day this year to lobby for a $3.7 billion legislative package that would provide in-home care to 6,800 injured American veterans. It is a noble bill, and it is worthy of passage. Here's the thing, though: There's no money for the bill. The easy thing to do, of course, would be to simply tack the program's costs onto the mountainous $9 trillion deficit the…

Am I Good?
20 Nov 2009 | 1:53 pmIf you have passion for what you do, put yourself into it, care, then you've asked yourself this question.Does it show self-doubt? Does it encourage discouragement? Does it mean you aren't?I think all it means is that you're human. And humans are good. By definition.Yes, like all artists and those who take care in what they do, I am racked by self-confidence issues every once in awhile (like today). It's not rational or reasonable, it's not predictable, it's not preventable. It's just an emotion that overtakes us who live.Give it its due. Value its purpose. You needn't look outside yourself… -

All the modern British bands, the Black Crowes, The Jayhawks, Dave Matthews, Kings of Leon, The White Stripes, and honestly, The Rolling Stones are new to me since meeting and marrying my wife. I wouldn't have gone to any of the concerts we've gone to as well, meaning I wouldn't have done a lot of the travelling we've done.This isn't to say I don't listen to what I used to as well, it's just that what I care about in… -

15 Nov 2009 | 3:37 amOkay I can’t quite put my finger on it but there is a musical riff played in this song that is so familiar it is driving me crazy. I must confess that I really like this song, very catchy. In watching the clip again and again, you know – for creative purposes only, I suspect that at some point before the camera was taken out of it’s flightcase, the record executives had declared to Pixie – “sure you can sing – but it’s your pins that’ll sell!”. And sell they do….uhuh. So anyway -watch the video clip and check out the dweebie guy… -
Buy… this… car…
14 Nov 2009 | 3:49 amSomething struck me while watching tv tonight. Just about everyone watches ads on fastforward if they can. I wonder how long it will take for some advertising company to realise that instead of spending money on voice-overs and storytelling advertising, if they just had a guy who was pointing at the words “Buy… this… car…”, the ad would probably make a lot more sense to the majority of viewers as we whiz by on our way to the next segment of the show we’re watching. -
