So last week’s immolation victim is some kind of book critic? That’s not cool man. Ain’t nobody got time for that shit. Is some tv writer gonna come after me now? Hopefully I’m not on the radar of any “True Blood” writers. As each character’s chapters unfold, the experts can’t understand what Joe’s message is. […]
Now that our least favorite serial killer, Joe, has abducted his own son, it’s up to the ex-wife to try and get some info out of him. But is this all just a clever ruse to get under her skin? For Joe, he wants questions answered, the questions in The Letter that he sent Claire […]
This week’s merry episode of Archer finds us at home with Ray, in his spacious and non-ADA compliant mid-century mod bachelor pad. Where he is having a dreadful time dealing with that pesky paraplegia. Which fortunately doesn't seem to be bothering any of his co-workers, especially "the other shit bag in my life". Yes: Archer, […]
My Archer-loathing wife stayed on the couch for this episode just to judge me silently. Best of all: She’s from Vermont. Confirming my theory that this show is a psychosexual hell-baby of Get Smart and The Office, we start with a poorly run staff meeting. I’m on Mallory’s side on the break room issue, since […]
Kevin Bacon finally returns to tv in a leading series roll, making “Guiding Light” fans everywhere happy. From all the commercials and previews, it was hard to guess exactly what this show The Following is about. We definitely got a feel that it was about an escaped serial killer that is a real psychopath, but […]
Last night, I finished reading Tucker Max’s most recent book Hilarity Ensues. I also read his Assholes Finish First, but I didn’t bother reviewing it here at the time. Nor did I mention the fast-forwardable movie based on his first book. I am on record for thinking Tucker Max’s first book I Hope They Serve […]
Archer is a point of contention in my otherwise harmonious household. Wife hates it. Compares it to Family Guy, which in my house is like Godwin’s Law. Her point is that it’s a one-joke shambles full of dumb sexist tropes and loathsome characters. Which is weird, because she likes Mad Men. I look at Archer […]
Archer returns to your various screens beginning Jan. 17, so you have plenty of time to devour the first two seasons on the free streaming service of your choice, snag the season 3 DVD, and otherwise alienate most of the right-thinking folks in your life. Archer is pretty awful. I’m not going to fight you […]
When I was a little girl and occasionally allowed to watch television, Star Trek was in re-runs, but it hadn’t been that long since man first walked on the moon. I watched James T. Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Scott, Dr. McCoy, and Lieutenant Uhura go to space. They got to meet lots of interesting people and […]
Action adventure time-traveler bad guys movie Looper is out on DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital rental this week. Looper writer and director Rian Johnson says that the central question asked by the film is “Does solving a problem by finding the right person and killing them ever work? Or does it create a self-perpetuating loop of […]
