I found these critiques of Wreck-It-Ralph online, two reviews by the same person.
A Note on Wreck-It-Ralph
Some Further Thoughts on Wreck-It-RalphI really enjoyed Wreck-It-Ralph, beside the fact that the film is jam-packed with videogame love, but I wasn't able to put my finger to it until I read those articles and felt compelled to respond to them ( Read more... )

We found a nifty-looking DVD shelf at Best Buy and bought it yesterday... It turns out it was only nifty-LOOKING; it's pretty shoddy quality and we had a heck of a time putting it together. We managed to break the darn thing, and had to glue some pieces back together. But put it together we did, and it is functional enough. We're finally able ( Read more... )

This month has been moving slooooow. It's not all bad, though--this weekend I watched Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. Queer theory? Too easy ( Read more... )

Doggone it, Pixar! Why do you always have to make me cry? ...(huh, coulda sworn I blogged about Wall-E, but I can't find it...)

Anyway, watch Toy Story 3. Unless you hate movies that are better than Toy Story 1. Yeah, I said it.

This John Mackey guy seems pretty smart. He's the CEO of Whole Foods, and he wrote a response to Obama a few months ago criticizing his health care bill.

What the heck? Battleship, the Movie? I can see it now ( Read more... )

On Tuesday, with Jen and Brandon, I found a pile of copies of Mass Effect for five dollars at Toys R Us. Accordingly, I purchased one. You know, Toys R Us is the sort of store I would be unable to fault for not selling M-rated games. In fact, I think it's rather funny that they do. On the other hand, looking past their cartoon videos, I could ( Read more... )

'Twas a very good weekend. On Thursday, we went to see a movie at Columbia College; a documentary about a rich heiress kidnapped by a anti-government terrorist group, who may or may not have been brainwashed and eventually became a full-fledged member of the group. We went to the movie on the invitation of sporks_of_doom and her husband ( Read more... )

I'm not really ready for this week. It's already the 10th? Crazy. Two weeks to go until Thanksgiving.

Stephie and I watched two movies this weekend; The Bucket List and Get Smart. Both were good, in their own way. We also played the Left 4 Dead early demo on XBox Live--you can play two player splitscreen! The trend in recent years has been ( Read more... )

Stephie and I watched "When Harry Met Sally" last night, so now I've finally seen the "fake orgasm" scene in context. It was a pretty good movie. Stephie's big insight was that she can't wait to have a big bed like the movie's other couple were snuggled up in at one point.

...A week from now, we'll be in St. Louis. Freeeeeeaky.
