Sex and Violence In Movies

Let’s start off with the topic of the NC-17 rating.  Most movie theaters will not play movies that are rated NC-17.  Wal-Mart will not carry films that are rated NC-17.  Video stores such as Blockbuster Video and Hollywood Video do not rent out movies that are rated NC-17.  This is an interesting subject, so let’s take a closer look. Examples [...]

Art Via Committee

Into The Boardroom… Johnny Whitecollar walks into the boardroom, carrying his leather briefcase with him as he finds his seat; a nice, comfy rolling chair with a high back.  Not any different from seven of the other eight chairs in the room, but nice, nonetheless.  Sipping on his hot latte, he quietly greets the other people in the room, until [...]

The Word Actress Is Not Sexist

The Controversy!!! Some people get very riled up over usage of the word “Actress”.  They consider it to be a demeaning word, and the next logical step in the centuries long war of equalization of the two genders is to abolish the use of it.  After all, what possible good reason could there be for singling out an entire gender [...]

Crossover Artists

It seems like nobody knows their place anymore.  All these prima-donna celebrities who didn’t learn the lessons of the twentieth century that when you pick your career path, that you are supposed to stick with that path for the rest of your life until retirement.  After all, if you are stuck behind a [...]

2009 Academy Award Results and Thoughts

I debated against writing this article.  Personally, I don’t put a whole lot of stock in the Oscars.  The awards are rigged in such a way to encourage consumers to spend the most money possible.  That’s the main objective of the Academy Awards… to sell tickets to movies that are still in theaters, and to stimulate video pre-sales.  The Academy is [...]

Insane Clown Posse ICP Image Picture

Did you hear that slamming noise?  That must have been the sound of your mind being closed.  I honestly don’t expect a positive reaction from this article, but this is a band that truly fascinates me.  I don’t think that I know of any other band that is so loved and hated at the same time.  I’m also unaware of [...]

Is Music Getting Better Or Worse?

“Who needs new music?  We all know rock music attained perfection in 1974.  It’s a scientific fact.” -Homer Simpson “My Music Is Better Than Yours!” It seems that every generation becomes attached to the music that they grew up with.  I dare you to find a group of people more sentimental than 50-something adults and their early 70’s rock, or [...]

Stephanie Meyer: Author of Twilight

“…Stephanie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.” – Stephen King More Vampires???  VLAH! I’ve never been a big fan of vampire media. I think that the subject of vampires has been worn out in the last few decades, used as a cheap ploy to lure gothic kids and sociopaths. I didn’t bother to see Underworld. I [...]

Kevin Smith: Filmmaker/Nerd

God bless the first amendment. Paving The Road For Indie Filmmakers Not since the 1970′s has low budget film making been as popular as when Kevin Smith made Clerks.  Miramax bought the rights to the film while it was playing at Sundance, because they knew that this was what young people wanted to see.  Thought provoking subject matter, presented in [...]
