You know how you see something and you think, Oh man! I gotta tell people about this, but then you forget or put it off? Then, it’s been so long that you think, Well, they probably know about it by now anyway, so why bother? And then, you’re like, No, wait. I have something to [...]
It might be hard for those of you not from the 70s to understand how deeply satisfying I find Chris Hardwick’s steady rise to nerd-world-domination, but before I explain, let’s take a moment to discuss the likelihood that you know who he is.
There are probably two kinds of people reading this: 1) people who [...]
Typically, when I love something, I consume it often: coffee, songs, movie theater popcorn, even some rare and special books worth investing another 10 hours in. And movies. Man, do I love re-watching movies. If I stumble upon Jaws, Bridesmaids, Serenity or Shaun of the Dead while flipping through channels (or, let’s be honest, scrolling [...]
“I think I’ve forgiven you, Proffitt.”

Perhaps the biggest difference between myself and much of the internet is that I far prefer liking things to not liking things. People, food, stand-up comedians – unless these things unrepentantly hurt others or make me sick, I’m inclined to enjoy them. Same goes for pop culture. If I can find even one character [...]
Well now, this is a strange movie. Marketed as a genre-blending romantic comedy (with zombies) along the lines of Shaun of the Dead, Warm Bodies is not at all zany, and is far more surreal and earnest than you might expect, but it is a really rewarding experience, [...]
I know I’m supposed to be writing the next great American novel, studying up on copyediting, and building up content for another, top secret website (coming your way this spring!), but February 7th brings the premiere of Community, season 4; so, you know, I kind of have to do a re-watch of seasons 1-3.

While I almost always watch the Academy Awards and Golden Globes ceremonies, rarely do I enjoy the experience as much as I did last night, as the 2013 Golden Globes were awarded in Los Angeles. You may remember that I am a notorious movie and tv show fast-forwarder, prone to skipping things [...]
