I love the cold. Let me just get that out of the way because apparently, this is a shocking statement. I never fully understood how degenerate I am until I started telling people I keep my heater set to 63° during the day and 60° at night. In addition, I sleep in the buff except… Continue Reading

Doggone It, Al, We Like You!
Is it over? Please say it’s over. What, it’s not over? Damn. Well, it’s over in my eyes. Al Franken, author of Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations as well as of, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, as well as… Continue Reading
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone–After You See It
3:14 a.m. 12/22/23/04 Ok. Since I am obsessed with Jason Isaacs and Alan Rickman, I decided I needed to watch the first and third Harry Potter again.

Because while I am satisfied with meeting last year’s resolution, I don’t have a good history of keeping my resolutions. I am sure most of… Continue Reading
Close My Eyes–Before You See It
2:34 p.m. 1/14/05 Close My Eyes is the current Alan Rickman fare up to bat. If a movie is going to be a one-concept conceit, then that concept better be one hell of a winner, or the movie is going to fall singularly flat. In this case, the conceit is an incestuous…fling between brother… Continue Reading

4:13 a.m. 1/10/11/05 I have two simple rules for a movie which will immediately improve its viability tenfold. One, the cello. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The cello is the most beautiful instrument known to humankind. Any movie is better off with a bit of cello in it. The second… Continue Reading
