I know that even if you have bookmarked sites like Geekweek, the content moves so fast that it’s hard to keep track unless you have no life. So here are some links to recent stuff I’ve done:
A review, with pictures, of Mattel’s new WWE toys. It’s pretty geeky. Sample:
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.

Wrestling fans will know the significance of my wearing that shirt on that day.

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 past August, I passed the ten-year mark as a film critic. My, how times have changed. When I started, it actually seemed like a more pragmatic career move than acting. And I made a good living at it. The paper ran as many as six full-length reviews a week.
Following the Thursday closing night of AFI Fest in Hollywood – and let me give them major props for keeping the free booze lounge going on that day, when normally one expects it to shut off completely on the final stretch – I stayed home all day Friday, recouping and forgetting what day it was.
