I volunteer as a tutor at 826 Chicago. It is a pretty wild gig with kids running all over the place all ready to learn whatever I can teach them. The gig is ostensibly a creative writing program, but we work on homework and art and all manner of cool stuff. Lex goes (more than [...]

Lex, Edward and I saw Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler” a few days ago and were each of us stunned by the piece. I could be called an Aronofsky detractor in any other circumstance, his earlier work like fingernails on the chalkboard of my brightest hopes. The Wrestler, however, delivers. It delivers a lot more than [...]

During lunch conversation yesterday I told CLAW about an interesting situation that occurred a few days back while Lex and I were tearing the shit out of the Locust horde in the interest of preparation for GOW2. Somewhere between popping heads and blender-busting boomers we got to talking about Duke Nukem 3D. For a few [...]

‘JCVD’ Theatrical Trailer @ Yahoo! Video One of my favorite films when I was an impressionable young squirt was Bloodsport. Cyborg and Universal Soldier (Dolph Lundgren!) were not far behind. A few years into puberty and I realized that Jean-Claude Van Damme couldn’t act to save his own life and movies like Timecop and [...]

I stopped watching Transformers the day after my mom took me to see Transformers: The Movie in 1986. I was traumatized in what I think is a very unnatural way by the death of Optimus Prime. If only I had known he would be back. Back and ready to tear it up. [by "it" I [...]

This is what has been happening in Outworld. This kind of shit. Which is exactly why they are sending Batman in to set the place straight. The Batman doesn’t do scented oil.

I remember this one time I went into the woods near my house with this guy I used to hang out with in high school to shoot at soda cans with his air rifle, only he didn’t want to shoot soda cans at all and ended up shooting the living shit out of a squirrel [...]

The jokes in the above video are funny but are not always exaggerations. I have worked in development positions in which every single one of those statements are true. I am proud to be in a position now in which my boss sent me that video, cringing at first and then asking me if he [...]

What was the last Bruce Campbell movie you saw? Was it the one where they were trapped in a snowed in airport and one of them was an alien? Was it the one where he may or may not be Elvis and fights a zombie pharaoh? Maybe it was one of his many cameos? The [...]

Whether you know this or not, I am fairly certain you are going to click the play button on the above video and be forever changed. If not forever changed, then at least reasonably annoyed when, three hours from now, you are singing the Wet Pets theme song. Blame me. Well, blame College Humor first, [...]

25 I can apparently take 25 5yr olds in a rumble. I’d have thought more, but honestly I don’t roll the large brawls with anything less than zombies these days, so maybe the number’s higher the second time around – when I’m splitting heads with a broken piece of drainage pipe and trying not to [...]

Metal From Finland posted this pic on Thursday. I have, literally, just been sitting here staring at it until right now, just this second. Awa, I feel, is much improved. Check out Amen‘s mouth! OMFG. The new costumes are, apparently, for Lordi‘s new album Deadache. I am Lordi’s bitch.

Look, it’s not my place to gloat. Firstly, I don’t have all that much to gloat about and secondly it is wildly against my general disposition in regard to how I present myself. I will admit to being prideful; indeed I will admit to holding my ground when pressed on a subject or activity in [...]

I just don’t know if there is anything I can say to this. It is a lamp. A lamp made our of clear LEGO blocks. Have I died? Am I dead right now and this is where you go if you’ve recently been a very good person who just happened to walk into a train? [...]

As though plushy microbes and Albert Einstein action figures weren’t enough, The Particle Zoo has gone and made something else to totally entangle my attentions. At around a tenner for each particle, it may be a while before you get them all – but you know you will need to get them all. You know [...]

Much in the same way a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese is made with what is technically an all beef patty but is in actuality some sort of strange beef-ish distortion of man’s idea of what it is to hate, so too is this website technically a blog. One may argue the value of the [...]
