Catching up with those oldies but goodies
Ever since I was a kid, staying up late with my siblings to watch late night movies hosted by Frank Avruch, I’ve had a soft spot for classic films. Well, this month, almost like a cram session before final exams, Turner Classic Movies has featured 31 Days of Oscar. It’s a sort of “amnesty week” [...]
Russia is dead, long live Frank Carroll!
What an exciting night for Olympic figure skating! Evan Lysacek beats all of the superstitious curses to become the first man to win the Olympics as reigning world champion, and the first US man to win in 22 years, the first non-soviet man to win in 22 years and the first man to beat the [...]
No Love for Courtney
Perrenial Hot Tranny Mess Courtney Love is the coverbitch of this month’s SPIN magazine to promote Hole’s first new album in five years. And being the Train Wreck that she is, Courtney was quick to talk about how her estranged daughter Frances Bean is just a pawn in her late husband’s family’s quest to get [...]
You can’t use the Olympics to escape reality.
Like so many today, if you thought you could use the Olympics as a means to forget about your daily problems, lay offs, foreclosures, etc… you may be in for a rude awakening.

Sarah and Elisa must die!
I apparently have two nemesi, evil foes who are out to ruin me. Yes, they are fictitious. Two computer generated players, compliments of the good geeks at Wii.

Russia’s Dead. Long Live China!
Figure Skating kicked off it’s 2010 Olympic run with a historic changing of the guard in Pairs Skating. After a more than 4 decade long dominance (some may say reign of terror), Russian/Soviet skaters released their hold on the gold yesterday. So far have the mighty fallen, that Mother Russia’s top pair not only finished [...]

Plushenko: It’s like “Shallow Hal”, but in reverse!
Remember the movie “Shallow Hal” where Jack Black looks at his fat, ugly girlfriend but can only see beautiful Gwyneth Paltrow? Well I’m the exact opposite when it comes to figure skating champion Yvgeny Plushenko. Watching the 2010 Olympics Mens’ short program tonight on TV, I heard all the gushing, I saw the Judges’ huge [...]
