Things I Liked This Week And Things I Did Not Like

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Nothing Else Fit

LIKED – Okay, so this isn’t techically “this week,” but damn, do I love my Vivo Barefoots. I got a pair of Dharmas on sale about a month ago and I am pretty sure they are my favorite shoes ever. I put on a pair of Airwalks the other day (and Airwalks are not exactly […]

Oh, dear lord

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets, WTF

Animals with Lightsabers. I really need to learn whatever scripting language I need to learn so I can make a single-idea-website generator and then make a billion dollars from it somehow. I’m not sure how I make the billion dollars precisely, but I know it involves Richard Branson, a jar of Vicks VapoRub, a blender, […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: Neptune Perkins

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Last time on Thursday Who’s Who, we examined a successful spear-carrier in the All-Star Squadron. And most of the Squadron were spear-carriers, when you get down to it: they can’t all be slumming members of the Justice Society (or Johnny Quick). A lot of guys in domino masks who punch baddies. This is how it […]

Somebody wrote a stupid, stupid column, and Torontoist asked me to tear it apart, because that is what I does.

A Proper List Of 80s Movies That Have Aged Badly

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

Yesterday, esteemed Pajiboverlord Dustin Rowles put together his list of 80s movies that have aged badly. Unfortunately, due to trolling the readership including The Goonies on that list, it is my sad duty to report that Dustin is in critical condition at Our Pajiba of Mercy Hospital, due to wounds that, according to his doctors, […]

SYTYCDCA Bloggin’

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

Your guest judges are Blake and Luther, which just feels less special somehow. Tonight we have one hour of show, because CTV sucks ass in ways I cannot begin to describe. Melanie and Vincent: paso doble. This was extremely strong: Melanie is really good at just about everything and so is Vincent and predictably they […]

Rotten Tomatoes’ “100 Worst Films of the Decade.” The ones I have seen are bolded. The ones I have seen and don’t think deserve to be in the bottom 100 are also italicized. 100 Whiteout (2009) 99 Glitter (2001) 98 Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005) 97 Boat Trip (2003) 96 All About Steve (2009) […]

Internet things, some involving me

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics, TV

My weekly TV column is up at Torontoist. I’ve also done another of those “hey look at these comments” posts , this time about David Miller announcing he won’t run for a third term as Mayor of Toronto. And if you haven’t read this Leonard Pierce special, you should.

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Conversations, TV

ONE ME: And we have teams! FLAPJACKS: Harlem Globetrotters! ME: Christian country singers! FLAPJACKS: Christian gay brothers! ME: Christians dating since they were little kids! FLAPJACKS: Did they say they were Christians? ME: They met during a game of tetherball. Jesus played tetherball. FLAPJACKS: I don’t think that’s quite right. ME: I was raised Catholic. […]

Things I Liked This Week And Things I Did Not Like

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Gaming, TV

LIKED – Glee continues to impress, but here is the weird thing: in the United States it is doing slightly sub-average numbers, but in Canada it is a runaway hit getting a boffo huge audience. Someone has to explain how that works, beyond the simple and obvious truth that we clearly have better taste in […]
