This is a list of archived entries published in June 2006.
Sony has released the Spider-Man 3 trailer. All I can say is, apparently sam Raimi and Sony were working hard to pull the wool over our eyes on this one. But it looks like it has potential.
However, it does seem to be a big change in tone from the previous two films—it’s a lot bigger, [...]
Last night I received this Mac ad in an email, and I just couldn’t resist tweaking it (or more accurately, asking Sean to tweak it, which he quickly did with glee—big thanks to Sean).
I just finished playing Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge. I was a huge fan of the The Secret of Monkey Island and later played both the third and fourth games, but somehow I missed the second one, and after being reminded of the games by Ed recently, I decided to hunt it down.
I generally try to stay away from politics on this blog these days, but the one issue I’ll always support is environmental awareness. Al Gore has a cartoon PSA for An Inconvenient Truth, featuring Bender from Futurama.
I probably wouldn’t have seen Cars in the theater had a friend not called me and invited me to go. Well, to be fair he suggested we see a movie, and I suggested Cars, as there was nothing else particularly appealing, though I do feel some obligation to see An Inconvenient Truth, if only to [...]
My friend John of PulpLit pointed me to this article on Slate, “Mac Attack: Apple’s mean-spirited new ad campaign”, which basically rehashes the same arguments I made in my blog post a month ago.
Good to know the monolithic media catches up eventually…
Recently a Doritos ad has been running that features footage from the 1998 American Godzilla film. The first time I saw it, I had to ask: WTF mates?
GINO stands for Godzilla-In-Name-Only—the derogatory nickname given to the Americanized Godzilla by fans of the Japanese version who loathed the American abomination (such as me). The film did [...]
Since I currently find myself with excessive amounts of free time, I stopped by my parents’ house yesterday with the intention of retrieving my old comicbooks. My main period of comic collecting (aside from Hellboy in the last year or so) was 1991-1992; it began with Wolverine #41 and ended with X-Men #20, from what [...]
Usually I’ll be posting new reviews on the main blog, but since this movie came out three years ago, I simply added it to the review category. You can read the review here: The Rundown.
Yes, this movie came out three years ago, but I missed it then and didn’t see it until two years later on video. I happened to catch it on cable the other day, and again I was reminded of how damned fun the movie is and decided to review it.
I grew up watching the action [...]
