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.

Some pics from my recent UK trip

Even the advertising image of this burger looks unappetizing.

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 [...]

Annual Giving of Thanks

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.
