The announcement rolled out gradually today across various social networking media: Jeff Katz, formerly of New Line and Fox, and now head of his own company, American Original, has launched “Huffington Post meets USA Today for hardcore fans everywhere.” Geekweek will feature aggregated news from around the web and numerous writers and guest celebrities opining and [...] LYT on December 29, 2009, at 8:23 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Announcements, Writing |
I am, as one might expect, disappointed that I did not get the film editor position at LA Weekly. It’s no secret that I have coveted that job for years. I congratulate Karina Longworth for winning out in a pool that must undoubtedly have consisted of almost every film critic in America. No small achievement, that. It [...] Many of you may know my frequent costar Douglas Dunning. He is apparently so well known that people cannot stop filming him, over his considerable objections… LYT on December 23, 2009, at 12:08 am | Permalink | One backtalker - (Comments are closed) | Category: Movies |
This’ll be quick and easy, since I can mostly link you to original reviews (again, for my UK/international readers – if links don’t work, go to eonline.com and then click on “movies”): 1. Antichrist. See review. 2. Avatar. See review. 3. Fantastic Mr. Fox. See review. 4. Crank: High Voltage. See review. 5. Up. No review, but possibly my favorite [...] Even though I had heard almost every single plot detail of ANTICHRIST, the movie itself was nothing like I expected. All the talk has been about how it’s incoherent, based on a dream Lars von Trier had, and there’s a fake talking fox and some castration. I expected the typically rotten production values of a [...] 1.

A few holiday snapshots from the SILENT NIGHT, ZOMBIE NIGHT crew’s trip to Las Vegas last week. Wrestling fans will know the significance of my wearing that shirt on that day. PC050031 Funny thing about the Sahara, is while checking in, guys waiting in line for reception were drinking beers. Most had cowboy hats and giant belt buckles. This [...] Even the advertising image of this burger looks unappetizing. PB200545 Sherborne Abbey – the great-grandkids practice singing. PB200551 Sherborne main street. PB200553 Self-portrait in my funeral attire. PB200561 Train through Bradford-on-Avon, new hometown for my mother. PB210562 Jaz and Zeta Graham, possibly the two most beautiful-looking kids in the world. PB210569 Yo-ho, yo-ho. PB220006 Mannequin Catfight! PB220014 My grandfather’s local church.

We will resume regular life and blogging starting Monday. But I do have an announcement for UK family – offpat brought to my attention a while back that direct links to my E! online reviews were not working due to international redirects. But while in the UK recently, I figured out what to do. type “eonline.com” into [...] LYT on December 11, 2009, at 3:02 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Announcements, Family |
Had an interesting discussion on Facebook today that I thought worth sharing. Participants will be referred to only by first initial, lest they not wish to be named. I kicked it off by writing: “In many sci-fi movies, among them District 9 and Return of the Jedi, a human speaks to an alien in English, while [...] |
