Film Review: Mamma Mia!

Rojo — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:36:29 +0000

Let me get some things out of the way before we begin. This film is not my sort of thing at all ( I didn’t even like the similar Moulin Rouge, which was well-directed and performed), I watched it out of interest as it is now the highest grossing film of the year in [...]

FOX to Debut ‘Secret Millionaire’

Krogenar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:18:38 +0000

Based on a British show of the same name, I just found out about FOX Network’s new ‘reality’ show called ‘Secret Millionaire’. Here’s the setup: the producers enlist the aid of real-life millionaires, and they go undercover as down-and-out people and find out what it’s like to live on skid row. They get menial day-labor [...]

Krog posted this on PDT many moons ago, I just found it kicking around on my hard-drive and feel it deserves another showing:

Out of Body Experience

Rojo — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:21:04 +0000

The Guardian reports today on some interesting research from Sweden in creating out-of-body expriences in test subjects by attaching two cameras to the head of a dummy. These were hooked up to two small screens placed in front of their subjects’ eyes. This gave the illusion that the person was looking through the mannequin’s eyes. For [...]

Relantel — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:05:27 +0000

Soon, we may know whether the Democrats got their 60 votes in the Senate or not - GOP seats 41 and 42 hang in the balance. Minnesota’s recount is near complete, some 92% done, with a margin little different than the final certified tally. Georgia’s Runoff election between incumbent Saxby Chamblis and Democrat Jim Martin [...]

Obama born a U.S. citizen or not?

nbsp;http://pamelamcgill999.newsvine.com/_new… http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/doc… I’ve been following this story for a little while about Obama and his birth certificate. It is claimed he was born in Hawaii. They even showed a birth certificate that claims he was. As I followed this story I noticed it has not really garnered attention in the mainstream media. But then I realized we are [...]

Still Rather Biased

Krogenar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:27:23 +0000

Recommended reading: Hoystory details the media’s continuing effort to rehabilitate Dan Rather’s reputation. If you recall, Dan Rather ran a story during the 2004 election (in October, no less) that included documents that indicated the Bush was AWOL. The story was completely based upon these documents which were dated in the early 70’s, when Bush was [...]

Star Trek and Iranians

Krogenar — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 03:44:32 +0000

The Iranian Ambassador to the UN was walking down the hallway and bumped into President Bush. Hoping to break the ice with an innocuous comment, the ambassador quickly said, “Respectfully, sir. I have a question about what I’ve seen in America.” Politely, President Bush answered, “If I can help explain things to [...]

Steele throws down the gauntlet…

BeefcakeAZ — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:32:22 +0000

Well, that didn’t take long. Less than three weeks after Obama’s election, Michael Steele continues his full court press for the chairmanship of the RNC. Friday morning, he sat in as a guest host for Bill Bennett’s Morning in America radio program (I even passed up my usual routine of Grandy and Andy in the Morning [...]

Film Review: Let The Right One In

Javen — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:13:50 +0000

I like very few vampire movies, but there are some I do like. One of my favorites is The Lost Boys. It had everything — humor, horror and an actual story with characters we would care for. Let The Right One In is nothing like The Lost Boys, but it has a good story that is haunting [...]
