Sleepless Night
The discussion at the office one day was what kind of action movies we liked. “I like blowing-shit-up movies,” one guy said. “I could watch shit getting blown up all day.” One gal liked action movies with lots of sex in them. One guy liked action stars that beat the crap out of everyone and… Read.

The Day He Arrives
It looks as though we’re doomed to see at least one really boring movie each day of the film festival this year, and yesterday it was The Day He Arrives. It wasn’t as bad as Keyhole, thank goodness – that’s a bar set so low that it’s going to take a limbo master of a… Read.

priority
Over lunch today, I warned My Darling B that if I won $650 million in the Powerball lottery, I would probably blow it all fixing up the Orpheum theater so I could watch my favorite films. She said she’s on board with it, as long as she gets to mix classic cocktails at the bar.… Read.

Sweet. The first event was, as My Darling B so eloquently describes it, Two Rubes Dine Fancy Night.… Read.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on Steve Curwood’s show, Living On Earth, explaining why sending people into space is a good thing: CURWOOD: So, tell me, why should we explore space, with people? TYSON: I’ve got my own reasons for exploring space, that I don’t presume others should have these reasons. I think we should explore space… Read.

wallop
Oh hey, looky here. Beer. Lots of it. I managed to get 34 pints out of this batch, same as last time. It seems to be my lucky number. This is the second batch of the season, which I decided just tonight to call Packs A Wallop because it somehow ended up with a pleasantly… Read.
