There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

An Unholy Abomination Straight from the Deepest Pit of Hell
Top Gear USA is an Unholy Abomination Straight from the Deepest Pit of Hell
Out of morbid curiosity, I endured the premiere episode of the American version of Top Gear. Here’s my review (I’m stealing a bit from a classic Bloom County strip): Top Gear USA has brought the word “bad” to new levels of badness. This show just oozed rottenness from every bad segment… Simply bad beyond all … Continue reading “Top Gear USA is an Unholy Abomination Straight from the Deepest Pit of Hell”
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus
When trailers for Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus starting showing on the internet, I just assumed the trailers were some kind of spoof and not adds for an actual movie. Really? Lorenzo Lamas and Deborah Gibson? Come on!
It turns out Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus is an actual movie and can be seen in the U.S.A. on the Sci Fi Channel Syfy (or whatever the fsck that channel wants to call itself).
Yes, it’s awful!

This just in — Based on the previews, Fox’s new rip off of The Daily Show has about the same level of insight and humor one would expect to find in a typical Mallard Fillmore comic. Check out the awfulness (with obviously canned laughter) known as The 1/2 Hour News Hour (the title isn’t even original):
I’m Dropping the Big One
I predict it will be awful
OK, who’s laughing now? … Fox, alone among the Big Four networks without a late-night franchise, is now developing a pilot called “This Just In,” from “24” executive producer Joel Surnow, that’s being described as a conservative answer to “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.” a conservative answer to “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.” … Continue reading “I predict it will be awful”
Christian Pirate Rap
(from the wrong on so many levels dept.)
We have all these in one video:
- Doughy white guys laboring under the delusion that they are hip
- A creepy ventriloquist dummy
- Cheap Muppet knockoffs
- Total cluelessness about piracy
I not sure who should be more offended: rappers, pirates or Christians.
(more…)The Screen Savers
Out of morbid curiosity, I endured the premiere episode of the new incarnation of The Screen Savers. Here’s my review (I’m stealing a bit from a classic Bloom County strip): G4TechTV’s recently retooled The Screen Savers has brought the word “bad” to new levels of badness. This show just oozed rottenness from every bad segment… … Continue reading “The Screen Savers”
_Iron Chef USA_ is an Unholy Abomination Straight from the Deepest Pit of Hell
If memory serves me correctly, I fortunately missed this dreck when it originally aired on UPN. Sadly, this weekend (July 19-20, 2003), the Food Network aired it in place of the real Iron Chef. Out of morbid curiosity, I subjected myself to the horror, known as Iron Chef USA. Honestly, I really can’t put my … Continue reading “_Iron Chef USA_ is an Unholy Abomination Straight from the Deepest Pit of Hell”
