Hot Tub Time Machine March 28th, 2010 @ 12:57 am PDT
I don’t even know where to begin here. This movie is awesome. This movie is seriously awesome. Go see it. Note: Awesomeness of movie not guaranteed for those born after 1975. But if you were born in ’73 — like me — you will laugh your ass off.
Living Under a Rock January 30th, 2010 @ 1:00 pm PST
With the possible exceptions of my father and (maybe-not-so-strangely-coincidentally) my father-in-law, I don’t know anyone who is as voracious a reader as I am. I also seem to consume an outlandish amount of television and there is rarely a moment in my life in which there isn’t music playing. Oh, and I love movies. Yet, […]
Real Products for Fictional Companies October 17th, 2009 @ 6:20 am PDT
The excellent local blog CurbedLA had an entry recently on artist Mark Bennett’s blueprints of fictional places. He has created very detailed floor-plans of famous pretend places, like the homes of George and Jane Jetson, Rob and Laura Petrie, and June and Ward Cleaver. (There’s a book, too!) I thought these were terrific so I […]
Goodbye, Jay Leno January 28th, 2009 @ 12:54 am PST

Awesome news from Jason: You can now watch every episode of Arrested Development online, for free, at Hulu.com! We just started watching this brilliantly funny show this summer. I’m only up to about the middle of season two, and am seriously looking forward to the rest.
Rescue Me: A Tale of DVR Failure June 14th, 2007 @ 7:52 am PDT
With the demise of the Sopranos, West Wing, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and with the interminably long hiatus of Friday Night Lights, the best show on television right now is Rescue Me. It has been months since the last episode aired and I had been anxiously awaiting the season premiere last night. […]

A Media Bonanza February 12th, 2007 @ 9:11 pm PST
Just how long, do you think, until OscarTorrents gets slammed by Hollywood? They’re making it a snap to download all of this year’s Oscar-nominated films. Stuck somewhere without internet access? There’s a company named FON that’s giving away wifi routers in the hopes of blanketing the country with free wireless internet access. Already own one […]
