Boardwalk Empire
We’ve watched the first three episodes of Boardwalk Empire and I have to say, neither of us are too impressed so far. It’s got more bare boobies than Game Of Thrones and more blown-off faces than any television show or movie ever, but that’s about all it’s got. There are two more episodes on the… Read.

greatest cover band ever
I did not know that I liked Madonna songs until I went to the Dilly Dally last weekend. The Dilly Dally is a small gathering of microbreweries from the Madison area: Ale Asylum, Bos Meadery, Capital, Next Door, Old Sugar Distillery, One Barrel, Vintage, Yahara and, last but certainly not least, Karben4, the brewery that… Read.

The French Connection
Sundance Cinema had a one-night showing of The French Connection, one of those classic American movies I’ve seen bits and pieces of for more than thirty years but have never watched from beginning to end, and especially not in a movie theater, so we motored across town after supper, plopped ourselves in a couple of… Read.

Kang
Kang is dead. Long live Kang. If you watched a lot of television shows from the 60s and 70s you must’ve seen Michael Ansara in something, same as you must’ve seen John Colicos, the other television actor who was in just about every show back then and was also one of the original Klingons from… Read.

limping along
I am officially too tired to type, so this would of course be the perfect time to blog because why would I want this to make sense? See if you can follow me all the way to the last full stop. My exhaustion stems from waking up sometime shortly after three o’clock this morning. There… Read.

World War Z
Strange thing about World War Z: I was all geared up for some brain-eating mayhem but, even though there were zombies galore, there was not one single brain-eater among them. And now that I think about it, I can’t remember a turbo-zombie movie where the zombies ate brains. Turbo-zombies are too busy running around biting… Read.
