Tarsem...

If you haven't seen The Fall, go out and see it. For me, one of the most affecting movies I've seen in a long time. That's why when the trailer for the director's next comes out, I jump on it, because this guy is a one of a kind talent.

And I see the images and the movement that's recognizable Tarsem, and then see it tied to 300, which is an understandable marketing angle, and I see name actors, and then I see the lead who is going to be the next Superman...appear strained, and I begin to wonder if the finer work is behind us. Of course, my ability lately to peg trailers has been less than keen. So I'll remain hopeful. If ever there was a movie for a midnight show, this is it. Still, I couldn't drop "genius" as the title to this post, and we all know how much I like to do that.

Genius...

Can we talk about how amazing it is to be able to grab clips from shows on Hulu, like Chris Pratt on Parks and Recreation, who I've been saying to myself for some time is a comic genius, and physically gifted, and drop it here.

It was always so beautiful to me. Now I’m going there, to participate in it. It’s breaking me now, just typing this…

I think it’s important to say this on paper — even though I’m not going to Kona on a qualification (though I’m not ruling that out in St. George May 9th), at some point in the last year, I went to bed thinking that only in my wildest dreams would I be able to compete in both Boston and Kona in the same year, THIS year. Only in my wildest dreams. And now here we ar

For The Heart...

I Have A Feeling This Is Going To Change Things...

Heroic...

Chris Lilley, We've Missed You...

If you trust me, which you should, then you need to know Summer Heights High was a mostly unseen phenomenon. If you saw Summer Heights High, then this is just good to see. There's also an 8 minute teaser floating around here, but in this case, we'll stick to brevity.

This Really Needs To Be Everywhere...

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Yes...
