A new Pixar movie means? Rejoicing! Although I haven’t seen WALL-E yet. Because I am a bad fan. Soon. Every Pixar movie, though, I see the trailer and I’m like, how are they gonna pull this off?

And then I think, well, if I don’t, no [...]

My friend Anne from the UK inducted me into the love of indie music when she took it upon herself to send me mix CDs to educate me out of my Top-40 Radio-induced music mediocrity. Or something. In any case, most of my current favorite bands are ones she included on [...]
With less than a month before the fall TV season starts, most of the studios are releasing the DVD sets of last year’s seasons–just in time for people to catch up. Of all the releases this week, I’d recommend Heroes Season 1. It was one of the best new shows last year, following [...]
Since these episodes aired last week and the week before, I’m going to run all the videos together and not do a lot of commentary. Just so the videos are up here in case anyone missed the show or something.
This means there are a TON of videos after the jump. Don’t say I [...]
I wish that book resources on the internet were as easy to find as film and music resources. Now, maybe I’m just better at looking for film and music information than book information, but I find it odd that for each type of book-related website I’d like to find, I can name an exact [...]
