Where do we go from here?

We’ve come a long way, you readers and I, these nine years. And if any of you are still around, you know I haven’t been updating this blog much any more. There are many reasons for this. Facebook basically destroyed the blogosphere, allowing people to interact and share items the way only folks with blogs [...]

From the Memory Hole: My PASSION OF THE CHRIST review

Note to readers: during one of our site upgrades, the original review seems to have been lost. Thus, I am reposting it here, as I feel it’s one of my better pieces. This is the article I published here on the day PASSION first opened

I arrive at the Sony lot at approximately 1:30, for the [...]

ReJeKt-ed? No, Mohr.

On January 2nd, Max Mohr and Jesse Appler got married in Bodega Bay, California. It was a wild, non-theological ceremony full of all kinds of unique new traditions and vows. Mike Stephan and I were in attendance, and Matt King showed at the after-party.

Me Talk Pretty One Day

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 [...]

I do find it tiresome when some people argue that it’s a celebration of genocide — you can make that argument about Columbus Day, but Thanksgiving commemorates different races getting along…even if, [...]

Not long before he died, Peter Graham started a Facebook page.

Probably not everyone here knows what that is, so let me explain: Facebook is an Internet social networking site originally designed for college and high-school students to network with each [...]

Total Nonstop Access – part 3 (last in the series)

Okay, this whole thing is taking longer than I thought to get through…but we will. I’m just getting warmed up for the really good stuff, too.
