If Stanley Kubrick Had Directed ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

Posted by John Seavey Published in Bad Comedy, Film/TV, Flicks

(with a tip of the hat to the wonderful ‘Room 237’…) The key to understanding the Kubrick movie ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ is to understand that Kubrick was a notorious perfectionist, one who never left anything to chance. The reshoots that Kubrick undertook, reshoots that scrapped an already-filmed and extremely expensive ending, were explicit in […]

MGK and L’il MGK Present: L’il MGK’s First D&D World Map

Posted by MGK Published in When I Was A Kid

Click on thumb to see full Oh, man, this thing. I would’ve been about 14 at this point and it really does show: the map is mostly a conglomeration of D&D cliches (separate kingdoms for elves and dwarves and orcs and even lizardmen and Snake People), ideas lifted wholly from the low-grade fantasy I was […]

Mandarin-a-ling-a-ding-dong

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Flicks

On the Twitters, Tim O’Neil and I had a discussion/argument about the use of the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. Tim (that link is to his Mandarin essay) is a huge fan of the Mandarin, considers him to be Tony Stark’s definitive archenemy, and thinks the movie did wrong by him. I am a huge […]

What Is Doctor Who All About?

Posted by John Seavey Published in Film/TV, TV

I’ve thought for a long while that any long-running series eventually stops being about anything other than itself. Each individual story might be about something; “Let This Be Your Last Battlefield”, for example, is about the absurdity of racial prejudice. But that’s not what ‘Star Trek’ is about. Other episodes of the series were about […]

Single-sentence review of Iron Man 3

Well, that certainly was a third Iron Man movie, and I say that as a compliment more than anything.

6 Mind-Blowing Paragraphs About The Cracked Article You Won’t Believe I Hated

Posted by Jim Smith Published in Film/TV, General Nerd Shit

Allergy season means I get (more) easily distracted, so I find myself perusing Cracked.com a lot more lately. I kind of hate Cracked, but sometimes it gives me something interesting to complain about, so what can you do? Anyway, amid all the same-y lists like “8 Stupid Things The Man Has Tricked You Sheeple Into […]

MGK and L’il MGK Presents: The Annotated The Adventures of Nump

Posted by MGK Published in When I Was A Kid

We’re cleaning out my parents’ house (they are downsizing) and in the process we are uncovering whole mountains of crap that probably should have been thrown out years ago and some things I am glad we did not (for example, I now have all of the family Lego in a giant Rubbermaid tub in my […]
