This one was inspired by my spoiler-heavy defense of HALLOWEEN II and some colleagues’ response to my response. Here’s a portion of it: I could just listen to Zombie’s commentary, but I’m not sure I want to. Because if I like and appreciate a movie in a particular way, do I really want the director telling [...] A new fast food review is now up at Geekweek: Sirloin steak, they say. Not exactly, says I…but the irony is a name-change might actually benefit the product. Because this beef tastes a lot like the thin, tender slices commonly found on skewers in the form of Thai satays. Calling it satay would potentially create cultural [...] LYT on January 30, 2010, at 8:01 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Fast Food Reviews |
It figures that the one weekend I’m all booked up, this happens. I’ve been wanting a wrestling convention to come here for a while, and they choose to do it on Royal Rumble weekend? I guess we can figure out who the Rumble surprise entrants WON’T be. WrestleReunion 4 Anyway, for those who’ve always wanted to meet, [...] First one I’ve ever heard that didn’t begin “The state of our union is strong!” Nice to have a president who will own up to error sometimes. In film school, one of the first things you learn about putting together the sound for your celluloid project is that you can never have “no sound.” Even “silence” sounds like something; if you literally put nothing on the soundtrack, it will sound like the speakers have failed, and the audience will be taken out [...] New ill LYTeracy column is up at GEEKWEEK. Here’s a sample: Now, can you make an argument that hey, Bram Stoker’s original DRACULA featured some stupid and arbitrary rules too? Yes, I’ll give you that you could: there is no decent explanation given as to why Dracula cannot cross running water, save old superstitions about demons. [...] Without much going on on a holiday Monday, I did another Fast Food Review. A sample: McDonalds is venturing dangerously into Taco Bell territory here, not because of the pseudo-Mexican thing, but because they seem to be adopting the same philosophy of “what new way can we combine the same ingredients that we use [...] LYT on January 19, 2010, at 12:55 am | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Fast Food Reviews |
My Fast Food Reviews will be going over to Geekweek for the foreseeable future. Here’s an excerpt from my first one over there: I have not been a huge fan of barbacoa in the past, but this is almost certainly because the only times I’ve actually eaten it were at casino buffets, where it [...] LYT on January 17, 2010, at 8:05 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Fast Food Reviews |
On the way into the screening for 44 INCH CHEST (I know the title should have a hyphen in it, but it doesn’t, and I’m a full believer in reproducing titles as shown), a colleague was heard to ask, “How come a movie called 44 INCH CHEST only has one woman in the cast?” Like [...] LYT on January 14, 2010, at 1:36 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Movies, Reviews, Uncategorized |
