True Grit-Most movie remakes are anathema to the original, but True Grit benefits from two facts: 1. John Wayne’s version of the movie came out in 1474 or some equally far-off time, which makes it look horribly dated and 2. Jeff Bridges is awesome, a trend that continues with this […]
For as long as AMC continues to subject viewers to the schlock that is The Walking Dead‘s second season, I’ll continue to subject readers to my equally dreadful episode recaps. And the news from the latest TWD, “18 Miles Out” is that the show is not only as unfocused and […]
Goodfellas didn’t win Best Picture. That fact sits atop my “never forget” list, along with the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and that time my penis was farted on by a drunk girl. Nerd Mode: Engaged. Last night at the 84th annual Academy Awards, The Artist walked away with Best Picture. […]

A little birdie told me that this week’s episode of The Walking Dead wasn’t as horrible as the rest of Season 2 has been. Sadly, that birdie was a lying bitch. After finally viewing “Triggerfinger,” I can safely say it’s just as bad as every other Season 2 episode has […]
