Jake Johannsen

Posted on February 24, 2014 by Steve

Jake came by Austin to deliver his wit and wisdom before he headed over to what will be his umpteenth appearance on David Letterman, umpteenth is metric for over 40. He’s an awesome stand-up comedian who can just run with numerous … Continue reading →

RIP Harold Ramis

Posted on February 24, 2014 by Steve

The man involved a few of the Eighties’ raunchiest and popular comedies passed away after being ill for a while according to the Guardian. Harold directed the greatest movie involving golf…Caddyshack. Even when you have to sit through the scenes with … Continue reading →

RIP Sid Caesar

Posted on February 12, 2014 by Steve

His career peaked long before I was born so Sid was more well known to my generation through his numerous cameos in Mel Brooks’ Seventies movies (Silent Movie, History of the World Part I), a starring role in It’s Mad Mad…World … Continue reading →

Archer Live in Austin last night!

Posted on January 12, 2014 by Steve

Originally this was going to happen last November but Aisha Tyler had a sudden death to attend to. A sad matter yet the cast was able to reschedule. I was also a tad apprehensive because I had a friend see this … Continue reading →

Anchorman quiz from The Guardian

Posted on December 12, 2013 by Steve

I managed to get six out of 10 which is pretty good for a movie I haven’t seen in a few years. A co-worker I know who loves the original nailed nine. See what you get here.

My favorite villainous organization

Posted on November 30, 2013 by Steve

Venture Brothers’ fans know it and love it. For the uninitiated, the easiest explanation would be say the Guild is a villain union that makes sure its members follow the rules plus they have a great dental plan. If you … Continue reading →

RIP: Marcia Wallace

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Steve

Marcia’s passing must’ve slipped through while I was out sick last week because her B-list character on The Simpsons was critical to its success. The show just won’t be the same without her voice for the long-suffering Mrs. Krabappel. I haven’t … Continue reading →

Gotta’ lay off the spicy, alien food

Posted on October 26, 2013 by Steve

Purchased just in time for attending the Spaceballs quote-along at Alamo Ritz this week. Took my friend Jeff to cheer him up. He had been feeling a bit sad and he’s always been good to me. The chest-burster is one of the … Continue reading →

This shirt is the bane of the Dayman!

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Steve

A wearable litmus test to see which people you encounter are fans of America’s favorite…ok, Basic Cable’s…sociopathic quintet. Since Stern and Jersey Jack will never build an It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia pinball machine (don’t get me started, I already have rules … Continue reading →

Vegas 2013: Day Six, Popovich’s animal circus

Posted on October 23, 2013 by Steve

Monday took the slow approach as the centerpiece to our day was mid-afternoon at PH. We arrived relatively early, went our own separate ways for an hour to kill time; I wanted to leave my card with the nice person … Continue reading →

A belated birthday to Elvira with her shoes!

Posted on September 18, 2013 by Steve

Yesterday was Elvira’s birthday, it’s not nice to reveal a lady’s age, even when she is a Horror icon. To celebrate, I finally broke out the special Chucks Somara bought me for my birthday a couple months ago. These are … Continue reading →

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Steve

I have this horrible, horrible backlog of cool stories I want to share with you all that date back to some point last year. I’m finally digging out, one at a time. I may even get a few completed while … Continue reading →

The World’s End: Worth Seeing

Posted on September 7, 2013 by Steve

Sadly this brings the Pegg-Frost-Wright Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy to a gratifying end by putting an English spin on the current “end of the world” genre being done to death. Actually, it’s more accurately an alien invasion movie (commercials … Continue reading →

R.I.P.D.: Don’t Bother

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Steve

Short version…this movie was made 16 years ago, was equally crappy and called Men in Black. The twist? These heroes hunt malevolent dead spirits instead of aliens. Not very original there neither, SyFy when it was SciFi had something similar called G v. … Continue reading →

Monsters University: Rental

Posted on June 27, 2013 by Steve

So far the Summer Movies of 2013 have been rather mediocre. Monsters University was one film I was stoked about seeing because I loved Monsters, Inc. Sequels are often cynical ploys by Hollywood’s accountants to make a quick, lazy buck but Pixar proved this criticism … Continue reading →
