Hi folks, remember me? My three month hiatus is officially over, and I’m back to writing pointless posts that entertain no one but me. At the risk of disparaging my previous employers, but wanting to explain my absense, let me just say that the newspaper gig crushed any desire I had to do extra writing. [...]
Well, I finally did it. Against all odds, and in desperate need of a better excuse for not writing on my blog, I got a job. Starting Monday April 13, I’m going to be a reporter for the Norwood Record, located in the town of Norwood, just south of Boston. This has clearly been a [...]
So my plan last week was to fire up the way-back machine and do my thing with Peter Travers’ zero-star review of Bad Boys II, arguably the second greatest Henry Rollins movie of all time. I ran into a slight hitch when I realized that, for a movie he considers to be in the category [...]

Well, I promised you two editions as atonement (punishment?) for my laziness, so here you go. I started this one after I finished Milk yesterday, but I only finished it today. Sorry. Believe it or not, I’ve actually seen Watchmen already, so we’ll see if that has any influence on how hard I rip into [...]
Apologies to my tens of fans who have been left with next to nothing to read for the past week or two. I’ve hit a bad run of Writer’s Block and have been unfairly ignoring the website for a while. But I’ll make it up to y’all with a daily double of IHPT fun. First [...]
Remember when I said that the magazine industry was going to be more secure than the newspaper industry? I’ve come across some shocking information that flies in the face of that assertion. I spent the better part of the weekend doing some extensive research, and my new conclusion is that there is no future for [...]
I probably should have mentioned this sooner, but all the words you’ve read on this site have officially become the work of an award winning journalist. Yes folks, that’s a real award right there. Third place for sports reporting in Weekly Class 2 of the New England Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. In other words, [...]
I think it’s officially safe to say that no one predicted the impact that the internet would have on the world. I remember when my family first got connected–using Prodigy, not AOL–and the internet seemed like nothing more than a pretty cool way to communicate with the world. I basically remember chat rooms and message [...]
Apparently there haven’t been too many big releases lately, so I’m going back a little ways to bring you this week’s installment of “I Hate Peter Travers.” For once, I’m also going to do a movie that not only did I see, but also enjoyed. Tropic Thunder was actually one of my favorite movies of [...]
