That title read a little more euphemistically than I’d have preferred, but it got the job done. In case you thought that devouring a triumverate of Sonic’s Premium Beef Hot Dogs was the extent of my gluttony last week, I’m here to tell you that you’re tragically mistaken: I dabbled […]
I know nothing of fine dining. If I open a menu and there’s an item over $30 on it, my eyes bug out like that Tex Avery wolf. Don’t misunderstand me: I’m a black belt in the art of gluttony, but when it comes to food, I’m a bit of […]
Continuing my long, proud tradition of reviewing movies weeks after their release date, I wanted to say a few words about No Strings Attached, which I caught over the weekend. (Before we proceed, no, I didn’t spontaneously grow a pair of meat drapes and up and go to this film […]
Most people (aside from those blasphemous Hebrews and sandy scimitar-wielders) have a Christmas movie viewing ritual.

Yesterday, I caught a 4 pm showing of Hereafter (because that’s what barely-employed DJs do during the work day) and I want to tell you that, if you have any taste in movies whatsoever, you should go and check it out. It’s an amazing achievement-a film that deals with the […]
Last year, I’d have shouted it from the rooftops that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s role in my comedy world was gone, replaced by Eastbound & Down. And then a funny thing happened: This season, Always Sunny has knocked out some really impressive material. And Eastbound & Down has flushed […]
