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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy Native American Massacre Day! (Thanksgiving)

Yeah, turkey day! Gobble, gobble, gobble! Macys Parade! Lets all gather around the table and give thanks before shoving our faces with food ’til our stomachs explode! Yay!
In reality we…. well you–’cause I’m not–are celebrating the bloody massacre of hundreds of Native Americans at the hands of the evil Pilgrims! Yay!
Don’t believe me? Here’s my [...]

(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 [...]

November and Classic Black & White Music Videos

Ever since I posted P!nk’s “I Don’t Believe You” video a few days back, I’ve been gradually obsessing over B&W music videos, which is something that happens about once a year. As much as I love color, there’s just something about B&W images that elevates the artistic merits of a video and it sort of really puts the [...]

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 [...]

Roger Rabbit Sequel….with Performance Capture? Is There Anything Sacred To Hollywood Anymore??

Yes, Robert Zemeckis directed 1988’s classic.. let’s go ahead and call it what it is: masterpiece Who Framed Roger Rabbit but does that means he has any right to mess with it by doing a sequel? With performance capture ala Polar Express (horrible movie!!), Beowulf (laughable!!) and countles other crap he’s been responsible for lately??  I [...]

Incoming: Black Dynamite

I saw the trailer for this wild romp of blaxploitation yesterday while watching “Bronson” and I just knew I had to share the trailer with y’all cuz this shit is funny!!

Quality Assessment: Good Hair

As far as documentaries go, Good Hair is quite entertaining, mostly out of the fact that Chris Rock keeps the tone light and utilizing his good comedian skills, he shines a light on how hilarious it is for women and some men to go to jaw dropping extremes for beauty, and not (in my opinion) [...]
