Wednesday, August 06, 2008. The Dangerous Lives of Trolls. Though this reporter wrote the godawful Cautionary Tale of the Internet Poker Addict. Story that helped ransack the internet poker boom a few years back, I highly recommend his latest investigation into web-woe in the NY Times Magazine. An opus on internet trolls. That was a classic troll. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Grades for Movies - 2011. C ) The Artist. B /B); X-Men: First Class. Grades for Movies - 2010. C ); The King's Speech. Added: Celin...

pigs and battleships: Top 10 Movies from the Past - 2010 Edition
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2011/02/top-10-movies-from-past-2010-edition.html
Friday, February 18, 2011. Top 10 Movies from the Past - 2010 Edition. Hi It’s been a long time. Thought I’d break the ice by doing something fun. And what can be more fun than a top 10 list? Especially a meaningless list like this one. The following is list of older movies I happen to have caught in 2010 for the first time. In other words, it's a meaningless list. But hey, I want to start writing again, and what better motivation than to write about the things you love? 02 The Tales of Hoffmann. Almodov...

Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Coen Brothers Rankings (Updated). Chris Orr, one of the best commentators around, came up with a ranking. Of the Coens feature films, and thought I'd do the same. Updated with the inclusion of Burn After Reading. 01 The Man Who Wasn't There. 02 The Big Lebowski. 05 Burn After Reading. 06 No Country for Old Men. 10 O Brother, Where Art Thou? 11 The Hudsucker Proxy. It's a shame that The Man Who Wasn't There. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Grades for Movies - 2011. C ) The Artist.

Saturday, November 01, 2008. Just trying to sneak this post in before heading out to Las Vegas for canvassing and election monitoring. Predictions:. Obama - 53% - 353 EV. McCain - 45% - 185.

pigs and battleships: Housekeeping
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2011/02/housekeeping.html
Saturday, February 19, 2011. As you can see, I've tried to remodel the place a bit. Probably will tinker with a bit more as the color scheme is all off. Sorry, Mike and Waz, I lost the comments from the previous post. That Echo commenting system is a bit forbidding, so I ended up activating the plain old blogger system.

pigs and battleships: Aggressive Douchebaggery: It works!
http://pigsandbattleships.blogspot.com/2009/01/aggressive-douchebaggery-it-works.html
Friday, January 23, 2009. Aggressive Douchebaggery: It works! Michelle Cottle has a very perceptive post. Discussing aggressive careerism in the context of the Caroline Kennedy debacle. Cottle's point is obvious, but some of us with high self-regard need to be reminded that, in order to get where you want to go, especially in this dire climate, proper decorum and "face" are drawbacks, as Cottle notes in discussing Burris vis-a-vis Kennedy:. Though Cottle arrives at a gender-specific conclusion, the neces...

Friday, September 26, 2008. In reality, the financial crisis offered a menu of terrible political choices for all involved. A bailout is probably necessary, but any plan that aims to free up the credit market is a tough sell to voters. Why money to Wall Street? Why not bailout struggling homeowners? Or why not let Wall Street go down in flames? Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Burn After Reading (Coen) - A-/B. This is the Coens at their most delectably nasty, where the [SPOILERS].
