Apologies to anyone who considers themselves a regular reader of this site. I’m probably not going to do an “I Hate Peter Travers” this weekend (an action that will surely send shockwaves across the very fabric of the internet), because this is going to be an absolutely insane weekend, beginning in just a few hours. [...]
Yeah, I read the Atlantic. It’s like the New Yorker without as much of the air of superiority. Still pretentious, but bearably so. It’s one of the few “intellectual” magazines that I can stand to read on a semi-regular basis. But before I start talking about this article, I just want to say a little [...]
I know the Oscar nominations have been out for a little while, but I wanted to take some time to digest them and think about them before I decided to make some predictions (in other words, I’m lazy). But, since I don’t really care about most of the awards, here are my thoughts on the [...]
Just a quick handful of some minor/major events of the last week or so: Two more articles published in the Allston-Brighton TAB: “Obama Supporters celebrate Inauguration Day at the Kells in Allston,” and “Boston College plans head to Boston Redevelopment Authority despite neighbor’s protests.” It’s exciting stuff, trust me. I’ll also give a quick shoutout [...]
It’s time for another installment of “I Hate Peter Travers.” After going through The Wrestler last week. I kind of wanted to do a movie that I’d actually seen for a change. Unfortunately, I don’t get out to the movies that often, so no luck there. However, given that Peter Travers has done me the [...]
So I went to Burger King yesterday to get lunch. There was a huge line. Seriously, there must have been more than forty people in front of me. Now, I know a lot of people say that fast food lines feel like forever, but this one did. The worst part was, I was in the [...]
This is Vince Offer. He is best known as ShamWow Vince, lesser known as SlapChop Vince, and all but forgotten as the writer, director, and star of The Underground Comedy Movie. According to this press release from Square One Entertainment, a company owned by Vince, he is also a former Scientologist who sued the church [...]
This is one of those videos that I like to kick back and watch every year or so. I do the same thing with The Big Lebowksi, Clerks and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the movie and the book). There are some things that you just never get tired of seeing, and John Turturro [...]
I hinted at my dislike for both Peter Travers and the concept of reviews in previous posts, but I want to expand on the former, and maybe clarify the latter. (First of all, I want to say that I don’t really hate Peter Travers the man. He’s probably an okay guy in person, and I’m [...]
I took this picture about a month ago, when we got the first big snowstorm, and I think it pretty much sums up winter in Allston, Massachusetts. Hipsters start wrapping chains around the tires of their fixed gears, the snow gradually takes on the ashen pallor of the apocalypse and there are Ugg prints everywhere. [...]
