AP movie critic Christy Lemire is anything but supportive of the new film, as the title indicates, in a way recounting all of the same criticisms that were lobbed at Peter Jackson's Kong, though she didn't make that precise connection. It is apropos, however.
I've had a few days to reflect on the first Democratic presidential debate, and though I'd like to review my video copy since my attention was focused elsewhere; I'm not particularly impressed by any of the candidates or the questions thus far.
I don't remember very much about the past week or so. Last Sunday I decided that I wasn't real happy with my blog's growth over its first year in service. In fact, it didn't grow at all.
While many in liberal circles are still trying to decide how to handle the coming veto from President Bush on the troop funding bill, I'd hope that there are a few of us with enough good sense and courage to suggest a counter strike, as opposed to backing down from the fight.
Though the traditional role of the FCC has been to regulate the radio spectrum in the United States in the best interests of the public, they are still a partisan government agency that can, and under Republican leadership often does, stray wildly outside of their mandate in atte …
Either Fox has a personal gripe with Tim Minear that involves kissing his ass, ordering his pilots, then purposefully crashing them into a wall, or they are just really, really stupid. Take your pick.
The President said recently that allowing terrorists a place to prosper was not a way to bring peace to the region, speaking of the Middle East and an attempt by congress to force his hand on Iraq.
I wanted to theme this post out a little bit by posting some shots from Alien vs. Predator 2 (comingsoon.net) and some new picture of Venom that somebody snagged at their local Wal-Mart, but that post has disappeared since it showed up in my feed reader last night.
Hungry for intellectually honest conservatism. No more demonizing liberals who place liberty above a false sense of security. No more associating people with different ideas with despicable enemy. No more using the troops as a divisive political weapon.
There was never any question as to whether or not President Bush's appointments to the Supreme Court were going to destabilize the delicate balance it has had for much of the past 10 years. That was pretty much the entire purpose.
If there ever was a statement more clear about the narcissistic personality of President Bush than "I'm the decider", I'm not currently aware of it.
Tragedy is not limited to those events in life which manage to grab the medias attention for 120 straight hours, even when nearly five times more people have died in the past 24 hours in the Iraqi civil war than did at VA Tech.
Everyone is going to have their say about the VA Tech shootings and it was predictable that those who believe in stricter gun control laws would use it as a rallying point for their cause. That doesn't make them wrong, though perhaps disrespectful and ill timed.
So what is George Bush's problem? Why doesn't this man understand that "just hang in there" isn't a real plan and that pragmatic people find answers like that unacceptable? Oh who cares, I've got plenty of partisan GOP bashing running through my blood this week and any excuse to …
It's no secret that I'm a supporter of the Edwards campaign, but that doesn't make my observations and feelings about other Democrats any less valid, and I have quite a few.
I can't help but wonder what it must be like to live in a state of psychosis. If you and a thousand people surrounding you are all psychotic, does that make you normal and everyone else crazy?
If ever there has been a defining moment in the past four years, it was probably last years midterm elections.
Sometimes I think people suffer from a lack of foresight, while other times they simply do not take the time to stop and think about what they are saying.
After being a member of Associated Content for the past three weeks and personally witnessing the steady decline in offers for original articles in ways that do not seem directly related to quality, it seems that the deterioration in service and usefulness of the site has reached …
A couple of days ago, I wrote why I believed that revenue sharing is bad for writers. However I've been inspired to also take a look at this from another angle.
Webisodes are what the industry has nicknamed short video clips that run a few minutes in length, and typically introduce new story content to an existing television series as an unobtrusive way of teasing more viewers into watching the shows on television.
When Morpheus says in The Matrix that "fate it seems, is not without a sense of irony", you can count me as a firm believer.
I've been posting content on Newsvine for a little over five months, and Associated Content for about four weeks now.
I made it about half way through the Chronicles of Riddick two nights ago before I paused it to check my mail and see if there were any good conversations going on on IRC. I haven't watched the rest since. If you haven't seen The Chronicles of Riddick, do *not* read this.
Part 1. The previous edition of this article was spontaneous and longer than I had intended. What I really wanted to do was write about the advancements in Java technology while using a recent DVR project to give those advancements a level of context.
