Sunday, January 06, 2008. Seeing as 2008 hasn't yielded any milestones yet, here is a list of a few of my favorite movies/albums/books/websites of 2007. Best Movies I Saw In Theatres*. Live Free or Die Hard. No Country For Old Men. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I like to go see movies in the theatre as often as possible. Downloading movies and the quick turnaround from big screen to DVD is making the in-theatre experience almost unnecessary, which is a shame. The Road" by Co...

Wednesday, January 14, 2009. I Come Not To Praise 2008, But To Bury It. 2008 is thankfully behind us now, but the specter of a "best-of" recap has been haunting me for the last few weeks. So I write this, not under duress, but with a sense of begrudging obligation. Hopefully, once I've gotten this out of my system, I can go back to not writing about other stuff. Good Movies I Saw In Theatres. Despite all the hype and the haters, it was easily the best movie I saw in theatres over the course of the year.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008. You Tell 'Em, Wolfman! Ah, summer. I'd apologize for the lack of updates and whatnot, but I'm not all that sorry. It's too nice out for me to be writing about Orson Welles and Chuck Norris. Also, it's too nice out for you to be reading this. But in the off chance that it's raining or September or something, here's yet another lame placeholder post. My Year of Orson Welles. I did eventually see The Dark Knight. Probably the most important update though, is that I became an uncle ...

Sunday, December 23, 2007. Holy Shit, It's Christmas! This month has gone by so fast. I had meant to get in some quality blogging by now, but I just never got around to it. It's been a good month for me, with the exception of the weather. We've gotten a lot of snow here lately, which has meant poor driving conditions and lots of shovelling. I can't wait for Spring, which sucks, seeing as Winter just started. I have to take a moment to thank Shauna. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Maritimes, Canada.

Wednesday, July 30, 2008. It's after six and I'm still at work. On a normal day I'm supposed to get off at four. I am very bored. Here's a picture of a bunny. Dammit Boredom Bunny, you know I can't go to the movies with all this overtime going on! Monday, July 28, 2008. Wow, summer is really killing my ever-waning urge to blog. Well, like the title of this post suggests, this is mostly a placeholder so I don't post back-to-back Orson Welles stuff. I stole the idea for this post from the Onion's AV Club.

Dammit Boredom Bunny, you know I can't go to the movies with all this overtime going on! Trailer on the big screen is totally worth the $12. Following it up with. Is sort of like getting a lap dance after you've already had sex. That was a sweet trailer. I'm reading the graphic novel right now. What did you think of it? The Maritimes, Canada.

Saturday, May 31, 2008. Tuesday, May 06, 2008. My Year of Orson Welles - The Beginning. Today is Orson Welles' birthday, if he were still alive today he would be 93 years old. It is in the spirit of the occasion that I announce my first blog project, My Year of Orson Welles. I couldn't tell you when it was exactly that I became fascinated by Orson Welles. Though I do know that the infamy surrounding. And the legendary radio brodcast of. The War of the Worlds. For the first time. This was one of the few f...

Wednesday, December 10, 2008. The Ackermansion is Closed. Ain't It Cool News has a few tribute pieces featured on their site. Some of which you can read here. Thursday, December 04, 2008. That's one surly Sasquatch. Did you miss me? I suppose it could be worse. It's not like I was trampled to death by frantic shoppers. I used to look forward to watching the news reports about Black Friday. What the hell is this white stuff falling from the sky? And "Why don't I know how to drive anymore? And finally on a...

Saturday, June 28, 2008. My Year of Orson Welles - Cultural Archaeology. Also, it must be noted that with the exception of Citizen Kane. The majority of Welles' films were altered by the studios that released them. One such film is the subject of this post, 1958's Touch of Evil. Starring Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh. The film itself is celebrated for its opening sequence, a lengthy tracking shot of a bomb in the trunk of a car as it makes its way across the US/Mexico border. Easily one of the best...
