There’s no business…
The Oscar nominations came out yesterday, and by all accounts, are a joke. Granted, that’s nothing new, and this year was particularly difficult because the pool was so crappy. In any case, fellow Southern reporter Codell Rodriguez and I had a spontaneous email conversation about the noms, that I decided to post here:
CODELL: I’m guessing [...]
Satan loves a bomb scare…
Well, the new U2 single is out. And frankly, i don’t know what to say about it.
It is different, which, by all accounts, is apparently what they’re going for with this new record. Read a pretty good article with a song by song breakdown here.
U2 has had varying results when trying to do something [...]
“Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?”
A review of the new Bruce Springsteen album, due in stores Jan. 27.
Ok, I do like the new Springsteen album. I’m the kind of fan who normally loves just about everything one of my favorite artists does. Even with the stinkers, I can do something to salvage it (usually with some sort of mix [...]
War, huh, good God ya’ll…
I couldn’t think of a better title for this entry, really, or I would have used it.
Recently, it was announced that Quentin Tarantino’s next film, “Inglorious Basterds,” has a release date of August 21. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this movie.
I love Tarantino. If you go back and watch his stuff, [...]
So if i’m being honest with you and it seems like i’m being cruel, at least you didn’t get a rip off…
So, Ryan Adams has quit music? Has he?
Earlier today, a lengthy blog was posted on the website for his band, the Cardinals, which according to Pitchfork, here, mostly due to hearing and balance issue, but also because it basically seemed like he was just flat burnt out.
I kind of skimmed through the lengthy [...]
Is it a double negative…?
Esteemed Southern colleague, Codell Rodrigeuz alerted me to some new stories going around about the status of another Batman movie. Apparently the talk of Two-Face being definitively dead is getting softer. Read the updates here and here.
Personally, I’d like to a new villain take center stage, only to have Two Face appear at the end, [...]
Giving Adam a silent clock…
Southern Illinoisan reporter Adam Testa has been going on about the new season “24″ for the last several days, even working it in to one of his stories. I don’t watch it, although I’ve always heard good things, so if I plan to watch it one day, I don’t want him spoiling anything. Also, it’s [...]
“It tastes like cat food…”
If you’re like me, you love food. recently I have become addicted to the Food Network and “Top Chef.” Being a newcomer to “Top Chef,” I’m kind of at a disadvantage, because I haven’t witnessed the greatness of seasons past. I have a friend in Chicago, who writes a blog for the Chicago Dining Examiner [...]
A royal birthday…
Today would have been Elvis Presley’s 74th birthday. Despite his untimely and unceremonious death in 1977 (5 days after I was born,) and the years prior, where it seemed like he was doing his best to tarnish his immense legacy, he remains one of the most important figures in Rock n Roll history.
I have a [...]
