Leigh and I will be out of town for a few days. We’re going to Beaumont to finalize some wedding reception plans. So, I thought now would be a great time to post some leftovers. Let’s start with some videos shall we? Ever hear of a crotch-biting dog? Neither had I, until I watched this […]

Go here for an mp3 of Christopher Walken reading “The Raven.” Walken scares the hell out of me just being “normal,” much less reading Edgar Allan Poe. Listening to this in the dark at 3:00 A.M. is a real treat.

While I don’t agree with all of his choices (I hate Akira, but that may well be a personal […]

It seems like every publication that focuses on entertainment are bemoaning the soft ticket sales at theaters. I’ll link this article from CBS news, but really, pick up any entertainment magazine or turn on any show on E! and you’ll hear the same “sad” story. Hollywoodites complain the movie industry has entered the worst slump […]
