Golden Globes Nominations–TV

No time for unnecessary ramblings, not even going to bother with all the deserving shows/people who got shut out and the undeserving nominees, lets just get right to it:
BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Big Love (HBO)
Dexter (Showtime)
House (Fox)
Mad Men (AMC)
True Blood (HBO)
I’ve just started to watch Mad Men and completed season one: I’m not too thrilled about it to [...]

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: Class of 2010.

A quick note:
I’m thrilled……THRILLED!! that the amazing  (Iggy and) Stooges are finally getting in. Bravo!
I’m also very excited about ABBA. I mean who in the world hates ABBA? No one.
Not crazy about Genesis though.  Yes I didn’t exactly grew up when they were big and shit but I’ve heard some stuff and just to blah for [...]

Why a Movie Turns You Off When It Shouldn’t?

I’ve been asking myself that question lately. 
There are plenty of movies I don’t go see at the theaters or even bother to check out when they play on TV because I know–and it is clear–that they are nothing but crap or to be a bit more sensible: not my type or for me.  The Saw [...]

The Grammys Nominations or the Year of the Joke

Granted, every single year, the people over at the Grammys find many ways to *make* jokes by nominating…well, shit. crap. dunk. whatever you wanna call it, and then they go so far as to give us plenty of WTF? moments when the actual winners are announced.
(read the full list of 2010 nominees here, ’cause I just [...]

WORLD AIDS DAY 2009

Spread the word, donate to the many organizations, specially those helping the many orphans and people living with AIDS in Africa.  Join, volunteer, and above all: practice safe sex.

Video: Adam Joseph’s “Finally” An Ode to Marriage Equality.

I’ve never heard of Adam Joseph until I saw this video on AKAWilliam.  I’m usually not a fan of these mash-ups/DIY videos but this is the complete opposite of those other videos and the message is delivered in the most simple yet grand of ways.
The normal, everyday on the life/lazy morning, and quiet ride to the [...]

(Incoming) January: Dumping Ground for Bad Movies or Hollywood’s New Home For Hits?

Something rather strange happened a few weeks ago when I saw The Box–which I still think is a very creepy, interesting, solid movie no matter how many people supposedly hated it. Hopefully it would find its audience on DVD.  But I digress….
After 15 minutes of preview after preview one thing glaringly stood out to me [...]

On Language, Words, Grammar & Blogs.

For as long as the internet has been around, “proper” language usage has been a subject of discussion, but it wasn’t until the last few months that I’ve been noticing the discussion really getting heated to the point of boiling over in some sites.  (I’m sure it has been boiling for quite a while, I’m [...]

E-Readers killed the Old-Fashioned Book Stars

I’m not a fan of e-readers; I don’t have one and I don’t have any plans on ever owning one. I was going to rant and rant and rant about how the Kindle and its kind will destroy the publishing industry in the same way that music downloads destroyed the music industry, but after the insanity [...]
