When the Sucker Punch billboards first went up in my neighborhood, I felt conflicted. It seemed, on the face of it, to have a decent checklist of things I would like in a movie, but I instinctively lizard-brain hated it. Upon reflection and now that the uniformly negative reviews of the movie are in, here […]
In an odd assortment of synchronicity, I was recently having conversations about both Cowboy Bebop and Keanu Reeves as an actor, albeit not linked conversations. Tonight, the Twitterverse is trending Cowboy Bebop hard. The talk of the digital town appears to be that Keanu Reeves is attached to possibly play Spike Siegel in a live […]
Gothic.net just posted the new trailer for Midnight Son. According to the official Midnight Son movie website, the much anticipated film will be making its world premier at the San Jose Cinequest Film Festival on March 4th. I was able to catch a rough cut at VampireCon, along with a great discussion with the director, […]
Tonight, Dita Von Teese is gracing CBS with her lovely self on CSI: Crime Scene investigation. She plays the love interest for Eric Szmanda’s character Greg Sanders. The episode is called A Kiss Before Frying and makes good use of Dita’s retro charms, with a combination of sexy burlesque performance interludes and riffs on classic […]

It has been a really really really good news week. First of all, the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, or DADT, was repealed. For those of you who have been living in a cave, because you hate our way of life, DADT was a Clinton-era piece of legislation. DADT was designed to make it […]
True to my word, I went to the BOOM Holiday Party at Meltdown Comics yesterday. Luminaries in attendance included writer Kim Krizan, artist Lawrence Snelly and Dave Ehrlich from Chronicle Books. Forrest Black and I spent much of the evening chatting with them about cooking. Larry, Dave, Forrest, and I are all nouveau homemakers, so […]
If you are in Los Angeles and looking for something to do tonight (or just interested in stalking me), I plan to be at the BOOM Comics holiday party at Meltdown Comics this evening. Beforehand, I am going to learn to make red velvet cake because it is Forrest Black’s birthday. Red velvet cake has […]
2033: The Future of Misbehavior is a collection of science fiction vice tales, compiled by the editors of Nerve and apparently sponsored by Svedka vodka.
