If I had absurd amounts of money, probably one of the first completely unnecessary purchases I would make would be a set of authentic samurai armor dating as far back as possible and with the most ornate detail. I’d want it all. The chestplate, the facemask, the headdress, the gauntlets, the sword and spears and [...]
Last week when I posted these photos of the DeLorean I saw on the highway. The actual owner of the car contacted me after seeing my photos I uploaded to Flickr with this wonderful news:
Hi,
Nice pic of the DeLorean on your flickr page. That’s my car and I was the one driving past you. [...]
Click here to see my Flickr photoset that I made while unboxing the Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition of “Blade Runner”: The Final Cut.
Is it worth the high price? In my opinion, it is worth every penny, even if it was just for the different version of the films alone. This edition is the only one [...]
Have you seen the latest “Transformers” trailer?
This film just looks like incredible fun. Giant robots beating the steel out of each other sounds like one of the best ideas ever.

My good friend Wayne Ma (who I often credit for giving me my start in journalism) has just started a new blog about his experiences visiting the Cannes Film Festival in France for the second time. Please check it out. Also, here’s his blog from the last trip he took.
He’s also experimenting with video blogging:

Opening night I went to see the Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino flick “Grindhouse,” with a lot of anticipation and expectations for delicious violence and B-grade homages.
Apparently, not too many others shared such anticipation at the box office. Maybe it’s what people didn’t want to see on Easter weekend with the kids. And, honestly, [...]
“Pulp Fiction” is one of my favorite movies of all time and probably the best part of it is the dialogue.
But what happens when the words are used as visuals? Well, take a look for yourself at this video, which combines typography with motion to a particular scene in “Pulp Fiction”:
Hat tip: The new and [...]
I watched the music video for The Postal Service song “Such Great Heights” for the first time, and I couldn’t help but think of George Lucas’ first feature film, “THX 1138.” It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen the film, but it reminded me of the factory scenes where THX 1138 worked.
As for [...]
One of my favorite shows from the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup has always been “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.” A friend of mine recommended this show to me about 4 years ago (I believe his exact words were “Download this sh*t now!”) and they fit right into my line of humor.
I haven’t caught up [...]
I picked up two Superman-related films over the holidays after receiving a gift card, and one of them was the Richard Donner cut of “Superman II.” For those who aren’t aware, “Superman II” was actually shot by Richard Donner at the same time of filming as “Superman I.” Donner saw both films as two parts [...]
