There really were Two and a Half Men

Turns out that show really did have Two and a Half Men. As much as I dislike the little pudgy kid who just kept getting pudgier over the years, it’s Charlie Sheen who turned out to be a half a man in the end. His recent comments on Alex Jones show got the entire show [...]

Greg Giraldo – RIP, you funny bastard

If you followed the news, Greg Giraldo overdosed last weekend, and has been in a New Jersey hospital since then. Earlier today, a tweet from Jim Norton informed us that Greg has died. Not a joke, not another black humour stab, this one was sadly for real. It immediately got confirmed, and the condolences have [...]

2010 Emmy Award Winners – Mad, Modern, Gleeful

Here’s an incomplete list of Sunday night winners of the 62nd Emmy Awards. A lot of new shows got the prize, a lot of regulars/favorites are walking away empty-handed. The time is right for new kids to get the spotlight – Glee, Mad Men (ok, they have been noticed before), Breaking Bad, The Pacific, The [...]

Bunny and the Bull (2009) – a low-budget gem from TIFF09

This quiet little gem of a movie came out of nowhere last year at Toronto Film Fest, and we really hoped it would pick up. Sadly, almost a year later, it’s gone through a handful of European film fests, and disappeared. Too bad. Bunny and the Bull really deserves to be watched, in small groups [...]

The Losers (2010) – in your face, over the top

As long as there are comic books that haven’t been adapted (or adapted successfully) to big screen, we’ll be regularly  assaulted with over-the-top, self-aware, tongue-in-cheek, archetypal, good vs. evil, paper-thin stories. Most of comic book culture revolves around fallen heroes, and every once in a while a movie is made that perfectly translates that comic [...]

August TV premiere dates – Weeds, Ghosts, Shatner, Pitchman

I recently re-discovered IT Crowd, suddenly the show is making more sense than before. I’m also really enjoying Criss Angel’s Mindfreak, but probably for the wrong reasons. Still, the next few weeks will get you Shatner, Man vs. Wild, Ghost Hunters, Weeds, and Pitchman. All worthy shows, especially Weeds – I wonder how the season [...]

Bring Hitler back … to YouTube

Cute title, eh? Hoping to get some hate-comments going. A few days ago YouTube has started removing the countless parodies of Hitler losing his shit from the movie Downfall (Bruno Ganz’s great performance in many scenes was used as a parody of just about anything from the latest Lady Gaga costume, to Tiger Woods’ extra-marital [...]

Carla Gugino on Californication

Yay! Carla Gugino is back on regular TV (Californication). Her stint a few years back as Karen Sisco didn’t last long (only 9 episodes, not all aired), and the guest spots in Entourage a couple of seasons ago were fantastic, but also short (10 episodes). It’s good to see her back, and this show can [...]
