candy and razorblades -- a deadly halloween mix.
Somehow, I’ve never arranged various semi-Halloween-themed tunes together into a compilation. It doesn’t seem that egregious an oversight until you remember that last year, I made a Thanksgiving mixtape. I owe demon pumpkin Gods this much. Oh, and no “Thriller”, “Monster Mash”, or “I Want Candy” allowed. YEAH. Degree of difficulty.

The genius of Roland Emmerich:
He made ‘Anonymous’ knowing that the only people who would be offended by cinematic Shakespeare slander are also probably smart enough to avoid all Roland Emmerich films, in the first place.

“Nothing is being done because this isn’t a crisis — it’s a slow decline. Nobody notices slow declines. Coca-Cola is the most recognizable and successful company on Earth but their sales are dropping 2% per year. In 50 years, it won’t be here.”
Guys, in 50 years, Coca-Cola won’t be here. This guy is a marketing strategist. He wrote a book. It’s...

Tonight, I saw a friend of a friend in a female Jersey Shore character costume. When asked about the specifics of the disguise, she aggressively balked at the mere notion of portraying Snooki. “Oh hell no,” she remarked. “I’m J-Woww.” It’s nice that this distinction was made; being mistaken for a talentless fame whore would really get in the way of pretending to...

If Marty McFly traveled to 2011 and went to a movie theater, his brain would fall apart. I mean, different versions of Conan the Barbarian, Fright Night, Footloose, The Thing, and The Three Musketeers showing coupled with a weekly screening of the original Ghostbusters in certain theaters would make him wonder whether or not he stepped on a peanut in 1955 and dramatically altered the course of...

[PREFACE: I rented Attack the Block from Redbox today and decided that I also wanted to re-visit Captain America, X-Men: First Class, and Source Code (all of which I liked but only saw once). It was then that I noticed the sticker that said “rent four movies, get the fifth free”. I knew I had to pick another movie and somehow, the lack of options combined with the swirling terrible...

six general rules for halloween costuming.
A few years ago, I wrote this. Yesterday, someone emailed me about it, hoping for some more of my bizarre insight. Thus, I’m now putting these additional thoughts on paper:
Don’t wear any costume that comes out of a bag. All of the “complete” costumes at places like Party City are only acceptable if you subsequently modify them in some way. Otherwise, it will look like...

thoughts on the microwave oven.
Microwaves have largely resisted change and improvement for the duration of my life.
They’re all still roughly the same size.
They all still work at roughly the same capacity (things don’t heat up any faster) and there’s still no “rapid cooling” option, which seems like something we could’ve rigged by now.
Their buttons still make a room-clearing beep...
