Before the first show even aired, two celebs were already down for the count due to injury. I don't know if that fills up the metaphysical injury budget for this season, but we'll see if Derek whips his head around too hard again ( Read more... )

Every place I move to has worse and worse traffic conditions. Whereas here in Orlando the minimum speed is 60 MPH, the Tampa highway system is like a bunch of intertwined noodles. For one, there's a lot of highway construction, so there are plenty of wiggly, curving--AND HIGH SPEED--mega-lane roads. Sometimes you have to make pretty sharp turns ( Read more... )

The Pixar Story by Leslie Iwerks

(Note: This is a supplement on the recently released Wall-E Blu-Ray/DVD. It is feature-length, different than and completely blows away the much shorter 20-30 mini-doc on the Pixar Shorts Collection disc.

However, I feel as if the ( Read more... )

I was at school a few nights ago to help with the newest build of our project, and one of my classmates asked if I still blogged. I told him that the more structured my life gets, the more boring I become. Ultimately, what I generally wind up writing about is my shopping adventures. But let's give this a shot, eh ( Read more... )

Tropic ThunderI don't know what I was expecting from this movie. To be honest, I hadn't actually seen any trailers and had immediately dismissed the movie after seeing the promo posters and cardboard stand-ups in the theater lobby. However, I went to see it because I didn't have an active hatred for what little I knew about it, plus it was one ( Read more... )
