On Thursday night after dinner, I saw The Road at the River Oaks theater (which I think is the only theater in town showing the movie, right now). I'll start off with the good points of the film: great story; very moving; well-acted; magnificent c...
Here's the trailer for Mortal Kombat 3 King of Fighters. I think this could give Uwe Boll a run for his money. Bah-hahahaha!
Apparently the greatest author of the last century is writing a sequel to one of his most-beloved masterpieces. What do you make of this.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss our own theories and interpretations about books that we have read, such as the themes and hidden meanings behind the stories. As always, I'll start off with one of my own interpretations for The Road by Co...
Remember the first movie (or one of the earliest movies) you ever saw in the theater? What's your review. How much did it scar you for life?
The Little Mermaid-- Can remember seeing this in the theater. The shark and the octopuss woman made me sh...

- About Me:
- I'm a bit of an oddball. I like reading, writing, video games, cycling, Hawaiian shirts, hair metal, and movies. I'm very troubled by the creative stagnation that has been occuring throughout the entertainment industry (and consider myself a pop culture reactionary), as well as the exploitation of creative works by pirates and wannabes, and I fear that our society is spiralling into a new dark age where our culture will be resigned to YouTube and reality TV.

Pop Culture Reactionary
I only just realized how reactionary I am towards contemporary pop culture. I dislike most movies because so many of them are uninspired, derivitive and marketed towards the age 10-14 demographic. Most of the music I listen to is from the 60s, 70s, and 80s (though I like Foo Fighters). I used to watch TV from 7-10 p.m., Monday-Thurday, but now every time a good show gets cancelled and replaced with a shitty reality show I get on my computer rather than look for something else to watch. I read a… Continue

IT Remake-- Good or Bad?
As you Spillions must already know, It (based on the novel by Stephen King) is slated to get a remake. Unlike most remakes, I think this one has the potential to outdo the original, because the first adaptation was made on a shoestring budget, and had to be severely watered-down from its source material because it was a made-for-TV miniseries.
I know, some of you are going to say "The original was a classic. It scared the shit out of me as a kid. They shouldn't remake it." But you were p… Continue
