You all probably recall that Forrest Black and I have been working on a photography art book of our portraits of the California Deathrock scene of the last 15+ years. I just wanted to let you all know that the book is about to come out! We shot the gorgeous and very unique Malice McMunn […]
Okay, this could easily be one more thing destroying pop culture touchstones of my childhood. Like that Star Wars sequel with Jar Jar Binks and cutesy young Darth Vader or whoever etc. (I’d like to point out that I somewhat presciently said at the time that it looked like George Lucas was trying to get […]
Hey there, everyone, the Blue Blood elves have been working around the clock these past few months to bring you all sorts of cool new stuff. I thought it would be an awesome idea to go to grad school, while working full time. Turns out it is very challenging. Who knew? (Besides anyone who thought […]

You will not have a telephone, mmmkay. You will not have internet access, mmmkay. You will not have cable television, mmmkay. (How will you watch […]
I get it. I get it. We had all the foreshadowing of Walt and Flynn watching Scarface together. So I wasn’t expecting a happy ending to this show. I was, however, expecting a well-written and character-driven ending. Vince Gilligan and crew, under whatever directive ruins shows like Weeds, are really forcing the ending on this […]
According to the internets, a lot of people are deeply not rooting for Walt, at this point. Apparently, a lot of people are also totally shocked by the way Skyler and Marie are reacting to events over the second half of season 5, like how could these nice ladies be all on-board with murder and […]
Tonight’s episode of Breaking Bad had some really great moments. I loved the parts where Jesse Pinkman is drinking black coffee out of the white DEA coffee mug and where Jesse is telling DEA Agent Hank Schrader and DEA Agent Steven Gomez that Mr. White is smarter then they are and luckier than they are.
