Why I watch... Parks and Recreation.

I think I can say, without fear of recrimination or rebuttal, that we are in the Golden Age of Television.  Shoot, make that the Platinum Age.  Some of the best television shows in the history of the universe are being aired right now.  I'm sure I Love Lucy, the Honeymooners and the Dick Van Dyke Show were cool and all but I'm thinking the new millennium has them beat. That being said, I don't believe I would call NBC's Parks and Recreations one of these great shows of which I speak.  I'm talking about shows like 'The Walking Dead', 'Mad Men', all those 'Spartacus' iterations on Starz, 'Game of Thrones, 'Sons of Anarchy', 'Boss'... and might I add that Frazier Crane is not very funny on that show... 'Breaking Bad', 'Dexter', and this is just to name a few because there are enough great shows out there right now to choke a pig.  Do you have any idea how difficult it is to choke a pig?  Damn difficult.  A...

Fun at DragonCon

Hanging out at DragonCon with the boy, representing Encode Media Group and we got some interesting stuff and met some really interesting people.  If you're in the Atlanta area during Labor Day weekend, I highly recommend that you get a hotel and enjoy the festivities.  And maybe check out a panel or two... say like the panel I was on talking about SyFy Original movies.  I'll post the interview I did with two of the other members on that panel, Teagan and Kevin, real soon like.  Special thanks to Dan Carroll for all his help in letting us cover the Con.

Long delayed update time.

Laziness combined with covering the DragonCon, which we will post some stuff on soon, combined with football season starting which is directly related to laziness, movie watching has been kind of lacking.  Nonetheless, here we go!

A Formal Apology

A few years ago I wrote a review of the movie 'Thirty Days of Night'.  That movie had no Black people in it, though the city of Barrow Alaska, where the movie takes place, does have quite a few Black people in its population.  I saw it in a documentary.  Nonetheless, I commented in that review that I observed that the movie didn't have any Black People in it and, tongue in cheek, passed it off as okay since Black people don't like cold weather all that much.  Well a young man not too long ago apparently read that and he was not happy.  I mean he was pissed .  He called me all kinds of dirty names and stupids and dumbs and basically said it's White people like me that give White people a bad name.  He also went on to tell me how much he loves cold weather and Ice hockey and Ice Coffee and frigid women and everything else cold. Of course... I'm not a White person.  I kind of thought everybody knew that already, especially since I'm an internationa...
