I’ve made no secret of my hatred of Season 2 of The Walking Dead (read about that here and here). Thankfully, I’ve heard good things about last night’s episode, “Triggerfinger.” You know, things like “Events took place” and “Not every moment of the episode was devoted to mediocre actors jawing […]
I don’t like to speak ill of the dead (unless it will get me web traffic), but the fuss over the death of Whitney Houston has left me puzzled. Yes, “I Will Always Love You” is as much a secret shame of mine as the next heterosexual male, but let’s […]
In case you’re anything like me and the thought of going out to socialize during the weekend disgusts you, here are some great time-wasters you can punch up via Netflix. Videodrome-A movie whose wiki I had to read five times to understand, it’s worth viewing because James Woods spends the […]

Before last night, I was blissfully unaware of both Justin Vernon and his band, Bon Iver. Had you asked me what a “Bon Iver” was, I would have assumed some some sex act from the pages of Urban Dictionary involving feces, semen and the face of an unwilling female participant. […]
The Grammys are an irrelevant platform for old white people to tell other old white people what “hip” music they should be listening to. There was a time when that bugged me, but I’ve reached a curmudgeony place in my own life where I delight in my ignorance of anything […]
