Mel Gibson Month: The Road Warrior
Well, this is probably considered one of his best films, so I should probably watch it.
The copy of The Road Warrior was one from the local library, and it has some kind of fucked up quality to the video where it seems like it was unmastered in the sense that it makes the movie look like it was some bottom quality soap-opera thing.
It’s not the original film’s fault, since this...

Up Late: 12/28/11
So my cousin sent me a link to a review of Royal Dansk Butter Cookies and it reminded me of how I’ve kind of gotten away from reviewing the particularly mundane things in my life.
Tonight, I had a severe headache because I’ve played about 30 hours of Deus Ex: Human Revolution in the past 3-4 days. I took a nap and intended to go to sleep, but woke up an hour later, hungry.
So, I made...

Mel Gibson Month: Lethal Weapon
So last year I did Jeff Bridges Week, which was fairly unsuccessful because two of the five or so entries ended up being Asian films that did not feature Jeff Bridges, but since I couldn’t find any more Jeff Bridges films, I was stuck with Oldboy and Red Sorghum.
Because the availability of Mel Gibson’s films online is about as significant as his insanity, I think I have enough films...

The Nature of Being Overrated: Portal 2 and TES V:...
I read an article recently and one of the first sentences really irked me.

I don’t know about Deus Ex: Human Revolution,...

The Nature of Being Overrated
So, the other day I made the claim that bubble tea was more overrated than Cam Newton.
Later that evening, I went out to get bubble tea with some friends. It was alright, like not quite worth the $3 or $4, but it was still alright. The tapioca balls are superfluous and I could just, when I come home in a few weeks, ask my mom to make milk tea.
Later that weekend, Cam Newton lit shit up and had...

The Who: My Generation and Naked Eye (Woodstock...
I had a long day that ended with me doing nothing for like 5 hours, so I might as well cap it off with this shit.
Do you remember this? Chances are no, but there’s a story similar to this piece.
When I was in my formative years, I listened to The Who a lot and often took to YouTube to look for a lot of live recordings that weren’t available or were unreleased at the time.
