EuroTV: New Zealand edition 29 Jul 2013 | 03:46 pm
It seems many of you found The Fall. Not exactly the most cheery thing ever filmed. I hope you are also able to find The Returned/Les Revenants. It is the best thing I’ve seen on telly all year. Styli...

Season 10 of this show is under way and the top 20 have been chosen. This year’s contestants are maybe not my favorite group ever, but (as per usual) they include three dancers from my home state, whi...
EuroTV: The Fall and Les Revenants 24 Jun 2013 | 05:37 pm
This really is a golden age of television. At the push of a button or the click of a mouse I can watch the best TV the world has to offer, whether it is a new, complex American cable series (Game of T...
Review: Man of Steel 14 Jun 2013 | 11:10 pm
Man of Steel is a good, but not great movie. It certainly doesn’t rise to the level of the Dark Knight movies, and in some ways struggles with the legacy of Richard Donner’s Superman. Spoilers ahead...

The Greatest of the Great Gatsby 25 Apr 2013 | 04:56 pm
In honor of the new movie, I’m posting here my favorite quotes from this, my favorite of all American novels. If you have other nominations, post them in the comments. I was rather literary in college...
Toad The Wet Sprocket – Dulcinea 11 Apr 2013 | 12:28 pm
I found myself reminiscing about this album, one of those I pull out and play in its entirety on regular occasions. It’s still great and it still has the power to surprise and move me even today after...
When bands become their own tribute bands 2 Apr 2013 | 09:14 pm
My favorite metal band, Queensrÿche, now exists as two bands. It’s a mess. Despite a rather large anti-Tate/Pro-Wilson bias, this article here does a decent job of detailing the twists and turns o...
