Dave Quinn's How to Make an Animated Movie
With all the new animated movies being turned out of the Hollywood factory like so many cadium painted Chinese toys, one, that is me, has begun to see a trend forming in both the style and structure of most of these films. Though Pixar occasionally mixes it up, the majority of kids movies are starting to feel all pretty much the same. But we can’t let Hollywood stand alone in cashing in on...

Video Game Health Care Bill: 1-Ups for all? That’s socialism! This video is diggable by clicking HERE.
Jeff and I wrote this in record time after that whole IRL health care thing happened last week, and I’m really happy with the way it came out. Big ups to Mike Parker for doing a great job putting it together.
Just finished this early this...

Tom Waits...A God Among Men
Over the Christmas movie seen, Hollywood released as slew of movies, as is their right…for they are Hollywood. But Hollywood’s got a new wing man…and his name is Tom Waits. And by new, I mean that he’s been around for a while, and been in several movies, but he came out in two different films.
The Book of Eli was a surprisingly decent film. And Tom Waits was in...

The Phantom Menace...Deconstructed →
My friend sent me this link. It’s a 70 minute long review of everything that’s wrong with Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. It’s quite possibly one of the most well thought out and constructive reviews I’ve ever seen. Some parts are a little odd, but on the whole it’s just plain great. It says everything about the movie I’ve ever thought and then adds...

"!!!," said Woody Harrelson's crazy eyes.
In light of the knowledge that the world as we know it will (or might, or…won’t - tomato, tomato, right?) end in 2012, it is natural for us to try to come to terms with our imminent death by making a movie that’s fraught with conspiracy theory and giant freakin’ explosions. It’s the American way.
This movie starts off pretty badly with about a half an hour of...

ah! Real Monsters!
Monsters of Folk was formed in 2004 when Jim James (My Morning Jacket), M. Ward (solo work, She & Him), Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes) went on tour as a team under the heading “An Evening with Bright Eyes, Jim James, and M. Ward”. They’ve been recording together sporadically for the last couple of years and released it all on October 27th.
There are some really...

now I'm all depressed and junk...
I’m a little closer to the demographic that twilight is shooting for than my elderly male sibling. However…I agree with him on everything he said in his New Moon review. I’m not going to do an entirely new review, that would be stupid. I just thought I would tack on a couple of things that weren’t mentioned.
One of the thing that was actually kind of delightful about...

And Now is the Twilight of our Discontent
Alright, first and fore-most, let me state this: I know that I am not the demographic this movie was made for. I know that a lazy geek in his 20’s is not the prime audience for this movie. That being said, I am an avid movie goer, so I will be attacking this movie as a movie, not as a ridiculous romancey novely vampirey sad state of a concept. I swear… I’m not bias at all. I shall begin at the...
And on that Bombshell
For many a year, people have looked to my sister and I as bastions of media knowledge. It’s true, we are formidable titans of culture. And because of this demand, we have decided to pass judgement, and make these judgements public knowledge.
Honestly. I have about 18 years of absorbing movies, tv, comics, and books. I know the field quite well. My sister, being smarter, has equally as much...
